Hi ya'll,
I started microgestin (first time I've ever been on a bc pill) back in April. For the first 3 1/2 months, I had little to no side effects. Some occasional nausea, but nothing more.
Suddenly, part way through my 4th pack, my breasts became very tender. Not *painful*, but definately sore. This freaked me out wonderdering if I could be pregnant. I spent a week and a half worrying, then I started my period and that was a relief. There was no tenderness during that week.
Now, just a few days after starting a new pack of pills, the tenderness icame back, this time even worse. I suppose this is a side effect of the microgestin that is just now showing up. Still, it causes me much anxiety since I know it is also a pregnancy sign.
I went to the doctor the other day and she said the chances of me being pregnant were very low (I take my pills PERFECTLY) and that she was switching me to Kariva.
Has anyone experienced breast tenderness on microgestin? And has anyone used both microgestin and kariva and can tell me if they noticed any differences? Thanks!!:)
