Dr. McIntosh,
Thank you for your quick reply. I am not on birth control nor have I
been sexually active in the past month. Do you feel that this is
something I should have checked out? Is breast soreness common? I tried
cutting down on caffeine but that did not seem to help at all. Thanks
again for your help.
