Breast tenderness is a common side effect when starting the Birth Control pill, patch, or ring. It usually goes away within three months.

If you have made any mistake with your birth control method, or have missed a period, it makes sense to take a pregnancy test to make sure that's not the cause of the breast tenderness.
