I've been taking ortho tricylen for about a month now.

Within about 2 weeks my breasts started feeling pretty sore - the right one, especially. The pain has subsided; they basically feel normal now.

I've been taking the white 'placebo-pills' for a couple of days, and today I started what I guess is the withdrawal bleed. I heard that it's supposed to be much lighter then a period, and with less symptoms...but that doesn't seem to be the case with me; it feels just as heavy, and I've had horrible cramps - it's just the same as it was before I started the pill.

Why hasn't it helped? Should I switch to another kind of pilll, or wait to see if it gets better?

Any advice at all is appreciated; thank you.
