I have been on Loestrin 24 for five months and this month I feel like I am experiencing different side effects (I hadn't experienced any up until now). My breasts are not sore but feel bigger, my areolas look enlarged and sometimes I notice those little pimply bumps, but not always. My period did not come last cycle (two and a half weeks ago), but I took a pregnancy test two days ago and it came back negative. Are these changes normal on birth control? I feel like since the hormones produced are similar to those produced in pregnancy some of these symptoms may just be from the pills. I especially don't think that it's pregnancy because I do not have really sore breasts like I did when I was pregnant before. Any help is appreciated!

It could just be this cycle and how it is affecting your body, may be a result of stress, who knows. But, if there is any real concern, the home pregnancy test is not always that reliable, get a blood test to rule it out!! Can't hurt.
