Hello and welcome to HCM,

Cidolut is a progesteronal preparation.
Progesterone is a hormonal preparation used in menstrual irregularities.
It has certain side effects.
Water retention is well known side effect of progesterone.
water retention leads to breast discomfort, tenderness, etc.
The symptoms mentioned by you are not of pregnancy.
However, you can go for pregnancy test to confirm or rule out pregnancy.
These side effects are self limited and not of any consequence.
If they are very troublesome, you can consult your doctor.


Thanks and take care

Hi and thanks for the query,

Females of reproductive age who experience signs of pregnancy, whether on contraception of any type or not should under a good pregnancy. there is actually no method of contraception that 100% effective apart from not having sex. It s true that these symptoms could be ascribed to the pill, but the first thing that has to be done is ruling out formally any possibility of pregnancy. getting a pregnancy test done, preferably a serum Beta HCG is my advice.

Thanks and best regards,
Bain LE, MD.
