Boob symptoms and conditions

I started NuvaRing in Sept 2009. I started noticing my right boob was VERY sore like it felt bruised. I also noticed that I didn't want to have sex with my boyfriend. We have only been together since May so you know we were hot n heavy until I was put this thing in! I got to where I didn't want to be around him or have him touch me and I noticed that I was horrible to my kids! I didn't want to play with them, I just wanted them to go to their rooms and leave me alone. I thought it was just me and my boyfriend having trouble and I was just waiting for him to kick me out! I was having headaches and moodiness and I just wanted to stay in bed. I also noticed I gained some weight. Now I didn't step on the scale but my pants went from a 10/12 to a 14! My boyfriend actually heard about some side effects on TV one day when he got home from work and he asked me to take the NR out because he was concerned. So, I did and lo and behold, I started my period 2 1/2 weeks early! So, now I'm "google-ing" the NuvaRing and I find all this on all these different sites...so it's NOT just ME...it's a lot of women. I should have researched BEFORE i filled the script. No more NR for me...I can't stand the depressive and bitchy side of me and neither can my boyfriend!

okay so i have been on Loestrin 24 fe since July and since i've started it i have not had a period, just light spotting. And in October i didn't even have any spotting. My acne is worse as it's ever been since taking this pill, i have mood swings, i've noticed that i find myself feeling depressed sometimes. And worst of all about two weeks ago while i was doing a routine breast exam on myself i noticed a lump. Since i've noticed it, the lump has gotten bigger, it's tender to the touch, and my boob has gotten bigger, but just the one. And i've never had any problems with lumps, or anything else. When i went to the gyno in july she gave me a breast exam and said everything was fine, this was the day she prescribed me loestrin 24fe. I also experience headaches, i feel sick to my stomach a lot, and i find myself blacking out. I'm not going to take this birth control anymore.

making the appointment for my lump tomorrow hopefully everything goes good.

I had been on Yasmin for about 2 years and it was great. I had no adverse side effects. My periods where shorter and lighter and I did not have the horrible cramps I had before getting on the pill. I loved it. Then about three months ago the pharmacy switched me to the generic, Ocella, which the pharmacist insisted was exactly the same, but beware it is not! I have gained about 15 pounds, I had to go up a whole bra size because my breasts are so swollen, my breast are tender and ache most of the time, and as of right now I have been bleeding badly for two weeks and I have never bled when it wasn't time for my period. My OBGYN said the generic was most likely the cause. I know the generic is cheaper but do not take it. Yasmin is well worth the extra money. I am getting back on it immediately! A lot of people do blame the pills for stuff that would have happened anyways. So do not be scared to take Yasmin. Everything isn't for everyone but it was good for me. It's done it's main job which is to keep me from getting pregnant and isn' that the reason most of us take birth control for? So put up with a few side effects, at least you don't have a baby to deal with!!!

Ok, I am glad I found this site! I have been having constant breast pain. on only my right side on top of my breast and on the side near my arm pit. It is only the right breast/right side. I think it is my Mirena too, but I have had the thing over a year. I am so afraid of having/getting Breast Cancer. I am a 26 yr old mommy of two little boys 5 and 1, plus a 12 yr old stepson who lives with me and my hubby. I called the Dr. today to make an appointment to have my breast checked.

I didn't read every single post, but **Is anyone else having breast pain like I explained? Mine started about two months ago...(right after my last pap/physical). I am so nervous. I have gained so much weight. I am bigger now than right after I delivered my 17 month old. Its all in my stomach. I have no sex drive and my BOOB hurts!!!!!

please let me know if any one else is experiencing this.
thanks!!!

I have been on this nr for 1 month now. this is my period week. I haven't gotten it yet which kinda worries me but I have all the signs of it coming. I have had nausea, headaches an dizziness and increased discharge but nothing to big.NO SPOTTING! the only thing is when I took the nr out I noticed yesterday that my discharge smelled a little different than usual, but today its better. I didn't think I have been irritable except last week which was my PMS week. it hasn't killed my sex drive. it is about the same. I have noticed my boobs getting a little bigger. my boyfriend has only felt the nr one time so thats great.Ii like the idea of only 1 thing every 3 weeks. hopefully these symptoms will go away except for the boob thing. I have had cramps but nothing I couldn't handle with a ill Advil.

Ok, I was taking the pill and everyday I was gettig sick from everything. I decided to stop taking the pill. It's been a little bit over a month of not being on the pill. My boobs are really sore - not in pain but sore. It's wierd like a week and half ago it was just the nipple being sore and then the whole boob was sore. I just want the soreness to go away. I'm not even foresure whats causeing them to be sore

My son is 8 and has Autism. In the last two months he has been taking Singulair. In the last two months I have noticed him progressively getting very aggressive and unable to tolerate disappointments etc. He's been very whiney. It's to a point where he is out of control with his moods. He hauls off and hits me, other kids and adults. Like a monster has taken over. He can't seem to calm down and it's hard for him to tell me what is going on because of his Autism. He has never been this extreme and had such a long bout of horrible behavior. I forgot he had started this new medication for his allergy related asthma/wheezing. I did not figure it out but I am convinced this may have been the trigger for his uncontrollable behavior. We had a huge embarrassing incident today at camp where he ran into the school he was not suppose to be in, then came back and pushed this boy and attacked his Mom by pulling her arm nearly knocking her over, pinching her arm and squeezing it very hard! I was shocked at his behavior. Kicked and hit me and the counselor and squeezed my boob really hard,lifted my shirt up several times, just totally out of control. I had to lay on him practically to control him and I cried in shock and fear and wondered if this was my son! It took a long time to calm him down. He is going off the medication today and we are talking to several other doctors and going to a neurologist. He has sleepless nights too and dry mouth. Please watch out if you already have a child with issues. Worried and sad Mom!

I've been on Yasmin since Febuary 2006, and its now October '06.... so about 8 months now.

Now I'm tall, but I'm no amazon woman; a little over 5'8. I, like most other women (even though I've supposedly not stopped growing yet, which I have a rough time believing...) have one breast bigger than the other. Ok. No problem, right? Wronnng. I've never been small chested, I developed early and even before I began taking Yasmin I had a chest side of 38-40D.
Now after taking it for 8 months, I've noticed that, as I was told it probably would, increased my chest size. The thing is, it increased one a LOT and the other very little, if at all. I now have to wear a 38DD bra just for the ONE boob, so theres so much extra space in the cup with the smaller one. =| Then, its impossible to find clothes that make me not look like a... less than "nice" girl. I'm incredibly self conscious, I feel like its getting more and more noticeable. I've discussed with my mother having a breast-reduction surgery, which I've wanted for a long time and she is finally beginning to see how its a good idea too...
But my dilemma, is if I GET the surgery and continue taking the pill, will this just keep happening anyway? Like I get the reduction surgery, but then the one boob just starts to grow again, making the surgery wasted. Is this really worth STAYING on it? I'm thinking about it all the time, I want like. A boob-corset. An X-TREME bra, if you will, and not a minimizer. Those hurt, and it doesnt fix the problem of one being bigger than the other. I feel like I've tried everything.... :\

I have been very ill for almost three months now. I kept feeling like I was going to pass out at work - the same time everyday. Chest pain - under my left boob (around my heart area). Went to doctor's just before Xmas, he took my blood pressure and rushed me up to the hospital. Had ECG, Chest X-ray, Blood tests, but all of them came back okay?! Have since has an ultrasound, and am booked in for a 48 hour heart monitor in a few weeks. Off my own back, I stopped taking the pill when they couldn't find anything wrong, and I read the side effects, and this was on the 26th december. The feeling faint has almost totally gone (apart from when I start to panic about feeling faint), but I still have this 'stitch/hunger pain' feeling around my heart area everyday. You feel like it's gone, and then the pain happens. I am scared that it's something serious ( have little faith in doctors anyway). I have had two periods since coming off of it, and yes, they may be heavier, but rather that then feeling like you are going to die. I am not exaggerating. At one point over xmas, I told my boyfriend to call an ambulance because of the hot, numbness in my legs. The second yasmin free period I had, was a week or so ago, and I did feel a bit faint during. When I last saw my doctor, I explained what I had done, and he wouldn't commit himself, he just said that it could be Yasmin. I'm getting married in November, but until I know that I haven't got something seriously wrong, it's hard getting excited. If I have permanent damage from this pill, surely I can sue?

Still on it 2 months later... let me tell you, the boob pain is no laughing matter! Has anyone gotten blinding migraines from this pill? IS there anyone out there on lithium who takes another pill? I've slimmed down, but the boobs are definitly bigger...

I have liked Yasmin so far sicne I've been on it for a month, though my boyfriend noticed my boobs got bigger (i'm already a 36DD I can't handle any more cleavage!)> I'm taking this because i'm on Lithium for depression and next to Nordette its one of the only pills with no interactions. I was on mircette and having 2 periods a month... so no complaints so far, except boob tenderness

I have been on Yasmin for about 1 1/2 years. It has cleared my skin incredibly, but I don't know if my clearer skin has to do with the fact that I am older and done with that stage in life. On a bad note, my boob, hips, and legs have grown incredibly! This bloating is bothering the heck out of me. I went from a size 2 to a size 6 over the course of 6 months! I don't know whether to quit taking it and risk breaking out, but being my skinny usual self or have clear skin and deal with all the bloating. Which would you prefer?
