SWOLLEN BREASTS
OK this is my story -
I was on the pill for one year, and came off it in March 2004.
Since then I had 1 period in April, one in July and none since.
I've been so emotionally drained, what with so many negative tests,etc, so I just decided to leave things to come around on its own.
My gynae did his checks etc and all is normal, so I've just been waiting patiently.
My breasts have appeared swollen since coming off the pill and I understood that as normal.
In the past week, they have appeared hugely swollen, but with no pain. My areolas aren't any darker or anything like that, the breasts are just hugely soft and swollen.
I am also quite bloated right now.
Do you think I could be pg or maybe pre-menstrual ?
Either way, at least somethings happening.
Any thoughts ?

GynaeDoc
It may mean that you are premenstrual. Wait and see if your period starts in the next few days. It is not usual to miss periods for such a long time after stopping the Pill, so it is probably time to see your doctor again anyway.
