I’m 16 and have been on microgynon 30 contraceptive pill for 2+ years and for the past 3 days for the first time I’ve been feeling a lot of discomfort and tenderness in both my breast , my doctor said she felt no lumps and everything look and felt normal but didn’t get any answers as to what could be causing my breast pain , could it be my pill , natural hormones or something more serious ?

Why are my breast suddenly causing me discomfort and pain ? ( never experienced whilst being on my pill untill now )
You're only 16. Chances are this is just normal hormonal changes. I'm on the IUD and I've been on some form of contraception now since I was 14 (and I'm now 27), and breast tenderness happens to me sometimes too. It happened a lot more when I was on the minipill, but it's very common.
I had a scare a few years back too, but if a doctor has checked you over and found nothing, it's probably not anything serious. Even so, it can't hurt to voice your concerns to a doctor again. Ask if it's the pill or something else hormonal, see what they say.
Have you been taking the pills correctly ? Have you done a pregnancy test ?
I’ve been on my pill for 2 years and have always taken it the same , no I’ve taken 3 pregnancy tests all negative and I’m currently on my 7 day bleed break from my pill and they’re still sore
The pills are the same but your body is changing as a teenager. You have had an examination and all ok. If the discomfort continues , you might need a change of combined pill to see if this helps.
