Progestin only birth control causes swollen, sore breasts?

So I just started taking a progestin only birth control pill and 3 weeks into the pack, my breasts seem huge and they hurt! Anyone else had this problem? Does it go away eventually?

I used to be on Demulen (hi-progestin pill) and did have that problem.

When I was on orthocyclen (not tricyclen), my boobs used to get very "full" feeling the week before my period (the 3rd week of the pack). Now I'm on Loestrin-24, and it doesn't happen as much. It's not uncommon though. Sometimes they'd hurt a lot b/c they were sooo sensitive/tender. It was annoying! I couldn't let my husband touch them at all; it was so uncomfortable!

demulen progestin

hmm, this might beat a boob job! In terms of a side effect, this is mild. My birth control makes me crazy.
