Sore breast symptoms and conditions

Taking 20 mg daily of Micardis. Experiencing sore breast. Anyone else?

I was on NuvaRing for 3 years. Just recently went off, because we TTC, I got my 2 periods. Now I'm 4 days past due. Pregnancy test came negative, I have terrible cramps, sore breast etc. I wish I never used NuvaRing....

Has anyone out there who has been on lisinopril gotten very sore tender breasts? I recently increased the dose from 10mg. to 15 mg. because my BP was getting higher and it seems like I've had this stinging aching sensation in my breasts since then? I've also had a tickling cough since I've been on it--worse at night.

I have been on Loestrin 24 Fe for almost 8 months now. After a 2 yr battle with a generic version of seasonale (which just stopped working and i bled for 2 months and then had NO bleeding on the third, no period either!) I completely went off bc for 3 months and experienced withdrawal symptoms that were horrible. So my doctor put me on Loestrin and the first month was great. I had a period that last 1 hr, and the pharmacist said "count it as a blessing." After that I had nausea, headaches (have one right now), bloating, no appetite, then all of a sudden a huge appetite!, yeast infections (which I don't get normally), discharge (a lot), abdominal pains, and its very hard to see out of my contacts so I opt for my glasses... Its also expensive. I am thinking about switching, again, until I find the right one for my body. This pill makes me think I'm pregnant. Moodiness, sore breast, nausea...and I know for a fact I'm not! I haven't had acne problems but I owe that all to drinking a lot of water, keeping hydrated. I can't get off of bc because those issues are worse than both bc I've had! Anyone know of a great pill they've experienced?

Hi - I am stunned at all the awful experiences that users of the Mirena are describing on this and other websites!
I had mine removed 5 days ago - principally because my hair was falling out in worringly large amounts. I wasn't sure it was the Mirena, but decided to get it taken out anyway as I had experienced pretty constant bleeding since having it fitted in March. It was only after having it removed that I checked the internet, and have realized since that I have been suffering from other symptoms that I had not realized could be related to the Mirena. Apart from the hair loss, I have experienced a terrible foggy and tired feeling, dizziness, sore and swollen eyelids, strange spots around my hairline, one sore breast (!), a feeling that I couldn't be bothered with things - including my children, dry skin patches on my face and grumpiness. However, as a working mum of 2, with a husband who is away quite a lot, I had just put this down to a busy life where I don't have time for myself always. Now I think it was the Mirena!
Having had it removed, I can feel the fog lifting, though not the tiredness. I have experienced heavy bleeding and blood clots - now subsiding, but feel more cheerful. My hair loss, however, is seemingly getting worse...has anyone else had a similar experience please? Any advice on how to deal with this and how long it might take to stop would be greatly appreciated!

Well just like many of you I am glad that I am not going crazy. I had the Mirena inserted in April and have had sever bloating continous brown "periods" to small for a tampon and extremely sore breast. When I went to my GYN and discussed bc I had said that I had heard about the Mirena and asked her what she thought. She gave me the I think it would be the best form for you.She said the first few months would be irregular periods but then they would either be very light or none at all. Well they have been light but they go on for 2 weeks. I am also experiencing fatigue and dizziness and mood swings. If I didn't know any better I would think I was pregnant. I am unable to focus well on things. Feeling absent minded klike I was during my pregnancies. I have gained some weight and I and constantly bloated. My doctor told me that I would experience some acne which fortunately has been minimal but that there were very little side effects!! Bull!! I think I am going to scheduled my removal ASAP

I've had the Mirena for 4 year now. My periods stopped after the first month. From then on I have had light spotting for only 3 days. That changed two months ago. First of all my period was 18 days late for March but it finally came on and lasted for 10 days, it was very heavy with clots. I was also having some pregnancy symptoms before my period came on such as nausea,constipation,sore breast,and fatigue. I took some pregnancy test but they were all negative. For April the my period was the same like it was in March, but I am feeling little flutters in the bottom of my stomach and having a lot of cramping on my left side. Yesterday I tried to feel my string but couldn't. What's going on? I need for help!!

Thank God for this website because it confirms my feelings that Yasmin was causing very negative side effects. I gained 15 pounds in about 2 months, feel very agitated most of the time, very sore breast most of the month, decreased sex drive, oversentitivity to touch, and sometimes feel shakey and have dizzy spells. I have broken out in a rash on now several spots on my arms, and have had little bumps all over my back almost since the beginning of taking Yasmin. Today, because of reading these postings, I have realized all this negative crap has come around since I started taking this pill. The rash on my arms didn't start until 3 months after being on the pill and it is at its worst right after I take the pill in the morning. By bedtime it is very light, and by the next morning it is almost gone. I understand that all drugs effect people differently, but from my experience, this is a very scarey bcp and everyone should think really hard before trying it.

My doctor switched me to Femcon bec I got my period for 10 days on the 12th month of using Aviane. I anticipated the side effects but actually DID NOT get any- headache, nausea, weight gain, sore breast, etc. I'm supposed to get my period after the 1st pack but never got it at all, so I just started taking the 2nd pack anyway. That was the only side effect I got.

I WILL NEVER TAKE THIS PILL AGAIN!!!! I have been on it for over a year and have had fatigue, depression, anxiety issues, 13lb weight gain, bloating, decreased libido, bad headaches, sore breast, and moodiness. I just wished I would have realized sooner Femcom was the culprit. I have been on some form of an oral contraceptive for over 15 years and have NEVER experienced anything this unpleasant. Needless to say I have went off this pill and plan on getting an IUD this week.

Hi Danielle here, I have posted in the past, I was wondering if any of you that suffered from anxiety, and nausea post Mirena, when did you see an improvement, was it after a couple cycles? Are any of you on an anti- anxiety meds? They say that when the anxiety goes that the rest follows, is there truth to this? I am 4 weeks post removal and I still wake up with the feeling of dread, I take Lorazepam to help, but I am sick of taking a med I just want to feel like "me" again, what an uphill battle, while I do notice an improvement these pat 2 weeks to the 1st two weeks I am still very concerned about the anxiety and nausea, I went to the mall yesterday for 3 hours, and came home a wreck! crying, dread, I hate it, can anyone please tell me when I should expect to see an improvement? I know it is different for all but any information would be appreciated.

hi kim123.
sorry i was not around yesterday,my youngest has just gone off to nursery school so has been a bit manic. as the Guest below seems to think we should not use this forum to chat (even though support is a MAJOR part of why people come to this forum) i will email you personally.

hi,guest 35696.
sorry if the above remark sounds rude,it is not meant that way. i understand what you are saying,that new people come here to find out if their symptoms are linked to yasmin and all they can find is personal chit chat and not a full list of symptoms,but i have no idea how to set up a forum for all the ladies here that find just chatting to other sufferers helps.this site and chatting to people on it literally saved my life. if you know how to do it then please let us know. a lot people seem to post side effects on the other page (yasmin forum) that is where i initially found all my symptoms.
once again sorry if the above sounds rude it really is not meant that way but i am passionate about this site and helping support the newcomers as they did when i was a newcomer and nobody understood me and how i was feeling. i am a computer idiot so have no idea how to start up a forum,if any of you ladies out there know how to do it please post on here.

To the lady with the sore breast... mine were agony pre menstrually and just plain huge the rest of the time. i agree with you saying that it feels like engorged breast like when you were breastfeeding that is exactly how mine felt. they were solid and shiny most of the time!!!
i have been off yasmin since june 06 and mine are much better now although i still get a little discomfort premenstrually but they no longer feel lumpy and hurt just with a t-shirt touching them.i used to cringe if my kids wanted a hug as they were so sore. apparently evening primrose oil is good for breast tenderness.

I'm a female age 47 yrs. old. I begin taking Toprol xl 25 mg 3 weeks ago. I have bloating, sore breast, a tingling sensation in my toes, weird dreams, tireness and sometimes I awake with a bad headache. This is not the drug for me. I've tried Lotrel and experienced the same effects.

this is my third week on Ovcon...i have gained weight, eventhough throw up evrything i eat due to abdominal pain and nausea. my skin looks like crap and i have very sore breast ...i am stopping this pill tonight, i am not waiting for any more side effects or weight gain to happen!

I just had a baby 5 months ago. In the beginning I was breast feeding and therefore on a pill called Errin. After a while I started spotting all the time. Since this was a pill without a week break I did not have my period. I changed to Yasmin because I have heard that there is less weight gain and I was tired of the constant spotting. I had also stopped the reast feeding. From day 1 I had terrible side effects. I felt pregnant again!!! All the symptoms from sore breast to morning sickness to cramps to running to the bathroom all the time. And the mood swings!!! I thought I was pregnant for sure! It jsut felt exactly like when I was pregnant not so long ago. I took 2 home pregnancy tests - both negative. I really don't think I am pregnant. I have been on a pill for many years before my baby, but I have never experienced anything like it. I stopped Ysmin yesterday even though I am not at the end of my pack. I won't accept and live with these side effects! What good is the pill when you constantly think you are pregnant? This is not peace of mind - this is torture! And I do not even want to think about what these side effects are doing to my body. I will be looking into another birth control method. Anybody has any experience with the patch?
