Question
I started orthro-cyclen birth control about a month ago and since I
have felt a pain in my left breast, it like a sharp pain every once in a
while. It doesn't happen alot. I was wondering if because this is my
first time on birth control, would my breast pain be a symptom? I don't
know if hormones would make it hurt I don't know.. Maybe there growing?
I can only hope : )  Well Thanks for the time.

Answer
Hi Rockell,
Thanks for your question. I'm not a medical doctor so you might want to check in with your physician. I'm not sure if the breast pain would be a side effect. I don't recommend the birth control pill because of side effects and risks. Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com if you would like to talk more about other methods for birth control. Hope to hear from you soon. Email me.
