Can the birth control pill cause breast tenderness?

it could be because of the Birth Control pills because of all the hormones that the pills have it makes your body think that you are pregnant and at times it also gives you pregnancy like symptoms.i also had the same question but somebody also told me this. but if their are any other pregnanct symptoms than i suggest taking a hpt. just to be sure.

AnswerHello -

Birth Control Pills will cause you to have tender nipples or breasts and may also cause you to experience pregnancy like symptoms when your during the first 3 months of taking Birth Control. Because you are on Birth Control its very unlikely your pregnant.
Yes and no. Did you have the pain before? Or has it only started since taking the pill? It is possible that the type of pill you are taking is the no agreeing with your body. Some women develop lumps in their breasts from the pill. So I would go back to the doctor and ask to try a different sort of pill. Not all pills are the same - there are ones that use different hormones and in different dosages. Absolutely yes! Birth control pills/patches are made up of hormones. You are getting extra Estrogen into your body and your breasts can become larger or hurt to the touch. Wear a bra at all times and if necessary, wear a bra to bed (no under-wire Bras because that could hurt, but a slightly padded bra that gives you some support.)
It is a possible side effect.
Yes, many signs and symptoms of birth control pills are similar to pregnancy. Especially in the first few months of taking them.
Yes it can. Birth Control Pills work by tricking your body into thinking it is actually pregnant, hence why you dont ovulate while on Birth Control Pills. The hormones contained in Birth Control Pills can cause a lot of women to experience pregnancy like symptoms and also nipple tenderness.
let me feel and I'll tell you
