can BCPs cause leg cramps?

I very much want the pill to work for me but I'm having 2 problems with it (I think) that I'd like advice on.

I am 30 and took Triphasil 7 months, then switched to Alesse 2 months ago.

My problems are:

1. I get a lot of mild cramps in my lower legs. Could this be pill related? I've only noticed it while on the pill, and it diminishes during my placebo week.

2. I continue to have breast pain. It is not the tenderness I initially experienced (1st 5 months) but a dull, annoying ache. I can live with it, but I'd rather not. I know Alesse is the lowest dose there is, so I'm wondering if I'm stuck with this (unless we go back to condoms which I'd rather not).

I have minimal caffiene, I exercise 4x a week, and am overall healthy.

I'm happy w/ the pill otherwise, especially since it's eliminated my PMS.

Thanks so much.
