I have recently started taking a combined contraceptive pill my breasts are tender and it is driving both my boyfriend and I nuts as I keep moaning at him when we have sex. I realise that this a common side effect but I was wondering how long does it last for and is there anything I can do about it.

This is a very common side effect when you first start taking the combined pill. It usually settles after the first three packs. If it persists you could try changing your pill.
