Okay so last month I stopped taking my pill, on Tuesday my breasts were pretty sore to touch but then I got a light "flow" a couple of hours later.
My boobs were still sore through the day but eased off a lot.
The next day I woke up with period cramps, really bad period cramps like I had before I was on the pill and my flow was heavier like normal.
My period is still pretty much the same, other than today I've got a pain in my left breast a bit :blush:
It's not constant but it's pretty annoying/worrying.
My boyfriend was "fondling" my breasts yesterday so maybe that has something to do with it?
I'm also feeling them as well testing whether it hurts when I touch them or not (it doesn't I don't think).
What is this?
Is it the fact i've come off the pill? Or something else?
Thanks!

Hi there, yes it is more than likely from stopping the pill, its all about hormones, I suffered the same when I stopped the contraceptive pill, I had aches and pains, lumps and bumps that I never knew I had! U need to let ur body sort itself out and it will calm down in time. Its always good to self check ur breasts anyway, I do this as part of a monthly routine check. I dont think there is anything sinister going on here. By all means if u are worried see ur GP :)

Thanks :)
Did you get any other symptoms?
Like nausea,dizzyness and tiredness?
I'm a bit confused really, me and my boyfriend did have sex but we used a condom and everything was fine there so there's the slimmest of slim chances I could be pregnant. But it's very weird and very worrying, and the strange thing is the symptoms started the same day my period did! I know it can't be implantation bleeding as it was too heavy and too long i.e like my normal period lol.
