Hi,
I've been taking the combined contraceptive pill for the last 3 years, but this month for the first time my breasts have been unbearably sore and tingling. It's lasted about a week, and I've taken two pregnancy tests that day I'm negative (it could be too early though). My nipples are also a little darker I think. I've never missed a pill and I always take it around the same time each night (within an hour). Am I pregnant? Because I've Googled loads and those symptoms seem particularly indicative of pregnancy; but I've taken my pill correctly - I'm 100% sure of it!

Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
January 17, 2016 - 12:09pmBirth control pills prevent ovulation. If there is no egg to fertilize, pregnancy cannot occur. You need to be off the pill for at least 2 weeks before you can ovulate.
PMS symptoms such as sore breasts can occur while taking birth control due to hormonal changes throughout each month.
With that being said, if the soreness continues, you may want to get a mammogram.
