Hello so I have been on birth control for the past 2 years of having my son and I have missed a few but hasn’t really affected how their working.. I don’t get periods on them only once I’ve missed a few and when I have sex we don’t use anything ..
all of a sudden my breasts have become sore and more painful when I take my bra off, It’s painful sometimes to touch.

Hi Reemarie1234,

We can't say for certain what's causing the sudden soreness, or if it's a side effect of your birth control or not. If you notice it is not going away, it suddenly gets much worse, or seems to be accompanied by other symptoms of an illness, then your next step needs to be seeing a healthcare provider.

When you miss your pills, do you make sure to follow the instructions on your pill pack for what to do in the case of a missed pill?
