Girls, Girls do your breast ever feel tender and sensitive?

[Anonymous]

Why may my breast feel sensitive and tender? Could it be a result of birth control? Is this common?

[brycakes]

Tender breasts are a very common side effect of birth control, but you also may want to make sure that you're wearing the right cup size bra and also check for lumps in your breasts at least once a week. Be sure to have your annual mammogram. if your tenderness continues or worsens, you should talk to a doctor, it's better to be safe than sorry.

I'm not on birth control lol. And even when I was I didn't get that as a side effect. You might be getting it as a side effect maybe.

Usually, for me, they become this way right before or during my period. It was actually extremely painful last time.

I know i am late on the forum my breast been tender for a minute and its really bothers me especially when I put a bra on. As soon as this week comes I'm going to talk to the doctor about, I am not on birth control and my period is late and don't know if I preggo or not. I will keep posted on what going.

I have this week. It's usually a "heads up" of your menstrual cycle coming along. I am on birth control and that can be an answer, but i doubt it.

They could be growing, it could be birth control, and it can be a menstrual cycle thing.

It most certainly could be caused by your bc, but the most common cause is our dreaded periods.

[CHARismatic110]

Yeah, during my period.

[skaikrasha]

Yeah, mostly right before my period starts.
