Excellent, so it was Mondor's cording then, and will disappear in 4- 6 weeks. Had the doctor seen it before ? In your defence it is an odd thing and rather unusual, and I certainly can see why it would be alarming, but you are right of course - jumping to BC wasn't the right way to go. The logic of - it appearing quickly, and the 'evidence' of other people on the thread and the fact that you had the tight bra band and the fact it followed exactly the pattern expected of cording, and the fact that there were no breast changes should have been enough to reassure. It wasn't enough to reassure due to the HA, and yes, definitely time to work on it Thanks for updating, its always nice to hear the results on a thread and it will certainly help others who read this in the future.
