No Feeling in Breasts

I started taking bcp's about 4 months ago and now notice that I have no breast sensitivity....my husband touches me and I have no idea his hands are on my breasts.

Could the two be linked?  How do I get the feeling in my breasts back?

Thanks.

I have had the same problem since I was like 12 I thought it was just that I had bad nerves. I know that probably doesn't help you much I just wanted to give my input. I also heard that when you have C-sections they might hit that nerve and screw it up. I don't know if you have had kids or not but I have heard that. I hope this helps.

I have the same problem and I need some helop
From a C-section? I ask because I had numbness in the skin after an appendectomy, and the numbness DID finally go away and the feeling returned, but it took more than a year. My doc said, "Oh, yeah, it's just a skin nerve that was cut, it will take a year or two to heal." I remember being very surprised by his ho-hum response, but he was right, all the feeling did come back. It just took a long time.
