What Causes Emotional, Breast Tenderness After Switched From Generess Fe To Viorele?

Hi, I switched brands of birth control from Generess Fe to Viorele due to insurance issue (they wouldn t pay for the Generess bc there was no generic) anyway, I took the Viorele and second week noticed my contacts had been bothering me since I started it pretty much. I also have felt emotional and breast tenderness. So, 3rd week in I called the doctor to have them fight the insurance to pay for the Generess, as I have been on that for two years no without issue. I also usually have gotten my period during the 4th week of the pack. I now have 3 days left of the Viorele. I am not sure if I can just switch to the Generess now? The first two pills of 4th week of Viorele are the inactive pills. Then it switches back to active ones which is different than Generess and I am thinking the cause of the no period?

Hello,

Breast tenderness can be due to hormonal causes , but also a ultrasound examination of both breast needs to be done.
