Birth Control/Going off birth control pill

Question
I have been on the pill probably 15years. I am now off of it for approx. 1 month. Do your nipples tend to get sore to the touch, not the breast, just the nipple?

Answer
Now that you're off the pill, your own hormones have taken over, which will be different from the hormones while you were on the pill.  How your body reacts to those hormones is different for every woman.  In your case, your hormones have caused your nipples to be sore.  For another woman, their breasts may be sore.  It's an individual thing.  Best regards.
