Breast tenderness and HRT

I have been on ellestte solo 1mg for almost 4 months and only this last week have had swollen and sore breasts. I have been taking a high dose of primrose oil but it s made no difference.Do you think it is a side affect that will settle or should I see my gp.Im a bit concerned because I have had cysts in the past although I dident need treatment for them.

Hi Anjia,
I have had same on Hrt but coming to the end of first 3 months seems to have eased off.
Also, evening primrose oil capsules used to give me terribly painful,swollen breasts. It got to a stage that it stimulated production of prolactin in me and I was lactating. As soon as I stopped evening primrose oil within less than a week it all went away.

Starflower oil capsules with minimum 250mg GLA worked for me. GP told me anything with less than than that was well high useless. Ones I got had 230mg, took 2-3 months, but then I was able to come off them again and been fine ever since.

Hi
I have also been suffering with painful breasts. I had been to the breast clinic befor with this problem
and I remembering them saying you need to take Evening Primrose with a high level of GLA it's supposed to stop the pains. It worked for me in the past and I have just started taking it again as I have been suffering recently with it again. I am on HRT also. All the best
Winnie.
