    It is normal for some women to experience this.

  • Yes, it's normal, especially for the first few months. Birth control changes the levels of estrogen and progesterone in your body. The fluctuation of these two hormone is notorious for causing tender breasts. Once your body has adjusted to being on the birth control it won't be as bad-though you probably will still have tender breasts during your week of sugar pills as you get your menses.
