    Levlen and Zoloft Question

    Hi guys - I need some help please.

    I was on a pill before (I can't remember the name) which had 3 strengths per month and the sugar pills. I found out that I couldn't use this one to skip periods so my GP changed me to Levlen 30. I've now been on it for 4 months with no problems and I have never skipped an AF on this pill. My AF started about 2 weeks ago and only went for 4 days and really light which is not normal for me. I've been on the hormone pills for just over a week and in the last 3 days I've got really sore bbs. I've always taken my pill every day but it might not have been at the same time every day but definately within 10 hours of when I was meant to get it.

    So I guess my question is can I get a side affect of sore BBs after taking it for 4 months with nothing or could I be ...... PREGNANT AGAIN!! Or could it be because I've stopped taking Zoloft for PND (I'm so glad - I've been off for a week and feel normal again - there's that week thing again!!). My GPs not in until tomorrow so I can't ask her. Oh - and I've done an at home pregnancy test and it came up neg but it could be because I'm too early for one of them.

    Luckily my DH is beening very supportive and said if it happens it happens earlier than we planned but everything is cool.

    Any help/advice would be great.

    I think side effects can happen at any time.
    A Pharmacist should be able to tell you if its possible that its a side effect of the pill you are on or a withdrawel symptom from coming off zoloft.
    have you considered asking at the chemist?

    I've read the leaflet on the pill and it does say that breast tenderness is a side effect of the pill but I remember when I first started taking this pill when I first started taking the pill 11 odd years ago (for about 5 years straight) I never got any side effects what so ever - that's why I'm a little concerned. I changed my pill to the other one when I got a break thru and didn't get any with that either. Zoloft - I've done some research on it and there is nothing mentioned about breast tenderness coming off it. I've had a bit of a giddy head when I stand up which is stated.

    I wish I knew exactly what it is. I might go and see the GP tomorrow anyway for a blood pregnancy test - at least that way I'll know if I am or not.
