BCP Metformin side effects?

Been on my BCP, leading up to IVF 1, for 24 days now. Also, been on Metformin for roughly 1.5 months... My chest is SOOO sore, as in any sort of brushing up against or light touch I'm in pain! Normal?? Never been this sore before.

    I had this happen 2 months after starting BCPs when we decided to take a break. It was so bad I went to the doctor. Now 3 months later I am realizing it was the type of BCPs I am on. I gained a cup size in a few weeks (up to a D cup). I normally wouldn't care after the initial pain went away, but it is accompanied by 10 extra pounds around the middle.

    My doctor just called in a new prescription. Since you won't be on them long term your doctor may not want to switch you, but you could call to ask about it.

    Hope you feel better soon and best of luck on your IVF cycle!

    Ok, yeah sounds about right! They're hard and probably half cup size bigger, but the pain! Ouch! Only 13 days of the pills left!
