Been on generic Alesse for years, suddenly have tender breasts.?
I have never had any side effects from this pill which is why I like it. Suddenly, on my second week of active pills for the month, my breasts are very, very sore. I am freaking out because my bf and I just broke up and I have been on antibiotics for my skin. I know antibiotics can decrease the effectiveness of BCP's. Is it possible that the pill could be causing the breast tenderness? I have been pregnant once before and this is a very scary de ja vu kinda feeling. They are more sore now than they ever get during the week before my period. :( I can't have a baby with this guy!! I am freaking out. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, it is possible that the pill (the generic for the Alese) can be causing this. Sometimes the longer we stay on a pill our body can change when it comes to the medication. As for the antibiotic having an effect on your breasts now that is also a possibility.
I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.
