What Causes Swollen And Painful Breast After Taking Progesterone Pill?
Hello, I had my mirena coil removed the second week in October and started the progesterone pill on the same day.. I had unprotected sex all the time up until this point.. I haven t had unprotected sex since. My boobs have now gotten really big and painful and 2days ago I was lactating, (I started lactating early on in my previous pregnancy)I have taken a home pregnancy test which showed a negative result. (I also randomly got sick last wk I was talking then just started heaving). I have been to my doctor and had bloods for my hormone level and also a blood pregnancy test (which I had to push for).. Have you had any cases like mine where some1 has in fact turned out to be pregnant after a negative test?
The progestine pill will alter the hormone axis of hypothalamus pituitary path and that is the reason for the painful breast, absence of menses and not the pregnancy. It takes around a menses cycle period to regularise the condition and till that time, avoid intake of any further medications and use condoms as the prevention strategy for pregnancy.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
