repost from NWR... birth control - not baby - question

hey gals

Here's the jist of it: been on ortho tri-cyclen about 3 years now... never had a problem with the pill, but ocassionally from month to month I'd experience a break-out or two, some bloating, swollen breasts around the time of my period... no big deal. Typical PMS.

but this month!! holy cow!! in only the first week of my pill my boobs are huge and very very sore and I feel a bit bloated. Its more the boobs that are killin me, though - OUCH. I have a gyno appt in a few weeks so I'm going to wait it out to see what happens til then...

has anyone had freakyness like this?

Lori - you know I have problems with my pill and my symptons vary month to month. Doc said that this is normal and nothing to worry about.

I do have to laugh about the big boob thing.......you must be so incredibly voluptuous right now

I tried to take Ortho-Tri and that happened to me for the whole three months. I was miserable. I switched to a new brand and was fine.
