I have been on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for 21
days straight. I need to know if sore
breasts and increase breast size are a
side effect. Also my stomach seems
swollen, are these because of the birth
control, or should I take a pregnancy
test?

Yes, all these symptoms are side effects
of contraceptive pills. Soon you can
expect menstruation (unless you have
already been through your cycle). You can
take a pregnancy test if you want to be
sure that you are not pregnant.
