Sore breasts

Hi All

I apologise now for the long post but just want some advice or if anybody has experienced anything.

I’m on the mini pill and have been for years, however, not good at taking it at the same time everyday 🤦🏻‍♀️. My periods are very irregular and I have never noticed breast pain before one before let alone after. The first time I noticed breast pain was back in august, I had all the pregnancy symptoms took a test but negative, not trying to conceive, had a small bleed so mind at rest. Then about 8 weeks ago just real bad breast pain that went once I started spotting, on day of bleeding but spotted for about two weeks.

Then again 3 weeks ago worst breast pain ever keeping me awake at night, more pregnancy symptoms. This month though I had missed 4 pills in a row. Took another pregnancy test (clear blue) negative result. I googled roughly when a period should be due on the mini and I still have about 8 days. Realised the pregnancy tests were not early detection tests 🤦🏻‍♀️.

Anyway AF arrives bad cramping which is normal for me, not as much blood as normal 6 days (never filled a pad on any one those days) but there was clotting. However my concern is my boobs are still so sore and the period has finished. I still feel sick all the time and two nights ago I had this weird sensation in my lower abdomen the best way to describe it was like a lava lamp rising bubbles that popped. Felt totally different to wind.

I did a cheap pregnancy test that came up negative. Any ideas what could be going on??

If the tests are still negative after a period, I would say its a combination of your hormones considering you've missed some pills so your hormones will probably be all over the place

Thanks for your response.

I hope that’s all it is. Think I may need to go to the doctors to change my pill as I’ve never suffered with sore breasts until my previous 2 or 3 bleeds 😔.
Hopefully they settle down as it’s been 4 weeks since I forgot to take the pills and still hurting

If you dont take your pills regularly, it's going to be messing up your hormonal balances and hormonal reactions e.g. sore breasts are to be expected. This can happen over 3 cycles.

Are you trying to conceive? I would consider changing my contraception if not to something that doesnt rely on you remembering every day - maybe the implant or coil or something?

Good luck!

I’m normally pretty good at taking it everyday this one time I don’t know what happened to make me forget.
No not trying to conceive.
I have an appointment with the doctor for blood tests hopefully this will give me answers but they have said they may change my pill.
I tried the implant and it didn’t agree with me for some reason 🤷🏻‍♀️
Thanks for you’re help though I appreciate the response
