Breasts are sore

Ok my breasts have been hurting for the past week and half.  My last normal period was on April 18-April 22.  I am on birth control--Ortho tricyclen-lo(on it over a year).  If my breasts are sore cuz of being pregnant, i would have no idea on how that would happen.  The time i think i could only be pregnant is on the last day of my period (04/22), and my partner and i used a spermicidal condom, i take my bc every day the same time, and he pull outs before he cums, n the condom didnt rip. We have sex maybe once a week, and we do the same procedure every time.  Where my breasts hurt is around my armpit area..and underneath, like where the wire for the bra would go.  My breasts usually hurt a week before my period, but not a week and half.  I also get sharp chest pains like underneath my breasts...but i think that could be  stress, since i stress a lot.  I need help and wandering what this could be.

Both breast nipples are sore and erected. Haven't had a period in years. I use birth control which is called implanon. I've been on birth control for years. No period for nine years now. Had a early mammogram which came out negative and I'm 35 years old. What could be happening?

I have been experiencing soreness in my best for the last two weeks around the nipple area. I thought maybe it was from not wear a bra but I'm not sure! I'm not on any medication so I was wondering if anyone could help me

Yes, the OrthoTriCyclen is the cause..I was on it as well and have terrible breast pain.  I've have since changed to another form...consider changing....its definately worth it!

I have breast pain and pain under my armpit as well, do you drink pop. I started drinking caffeine free pop and this help a little bit. (BTW I am not on the pill) Your pill may also need to be changed. Your body may be telling you something. You should defiantly check it out with your doctor, any problems with your breast you should have checked out.

I am not on the pill anymore, but when I was on OrthoTriCyclen my boobs would hurt like CRAZY before my period.  Sometimes for long periods of time like you are describing.  Now that I am not on the pill I have no breast pain at any time in my cycle.

From the sounds of your sexual practices, it's highly highly doubtful you are pg.  

If the sharp pains are new then don't hesitate to get checked out.  But otherwise, I think breast pain like that comes with the OrthoTriCyclen territory.  Sorry!
