larger firmer breasts Posted: 05-22-08 02:10am
Okay its a doozie. I have two beautiful
children. I remember the symptoms of
pregnancy but I am thoroughly convinced
that there is no way that I could be
pregnant. My tubes are tied. Pregnancy
test is negative x2 and I had a menstrual
period. Thing is my breasts are larger,
firmer and nipples are sore. Belly is a
little more swollen than usual. I do not
have any other weight gain and I only
noticed the weight gain in the first place
because I petite. History of cervical
cancer (CIS II), had leisions excized and
clear as of colposcopy one month ago. I'm
25...healthy otherwise and not on any
medicines...is it hormonal or what? I know
its not due to ovulation or my
cycle...those are totally different
symptoms altogether...the back pain, sore
breasts all over (not just nipples as in
this case) and pms...the usual stuff.
Ovulation for me consists of firmer
breasts but no breast or nipple pain and
that nagging feeling some women get when
the egg bursts through the follicle...but
that's it. This is totally different and
doesn't go away. argh...so confused

It doesn't sound like to me that you could
be pregnant since you have had two tests
and a menstrual cycle. I would contact a
doctor to see what is going on with your
hormones. Also, some women's PMS symptoms
change through the years. When was your
last cycle? Could you perhaps be going
through PMS now with different symptoms?
I never had any symptoms of PMS, other
than cramps, no bloating, irritability,
mood swings, etc. NOW, OH MY GOSH - it is
the worst, but I am older and think I am
probably perimenopausal.

last cycle Posted: 05-22-08 02:45am
Was the 2nd of April. And my cycles are
like clockwork. 2-7 of each month. No
different symptoms each time. This started
before my last cycle at around two weeks
after my period so I doubt its a new pms
symptom.

You should go to your doctor and insist on
a serum pregnancy test. You can get
pregnant even with a tubal ligation. It
can result in an ectopic pregnancy which
can be life threatening. It is not a
common occurrence but does happen. Better
to be safe than sorry. My sister in law
had this occur twice.

Yes, I would get it checked out since
there is a history of cervical cancer. I
have heard or pregancy after a tubal
ligation though! But.........the pregnancy
tests are very accurate now, so I would go
the the doctor and tell him of your
symptoms. Maybe, just something PMS, but
at least it would give you peace of mind.
You haven't had a period since the 2nd of
April? Then yes, get medical advice.
Good Luck!

Aha! Went to GYN...turns out I had a small
tumor on my ovary...apparently one of my
eggs decided not to release from its
little follicle all the way...something
like that. It was messing up my hormone
levels slightly! I feel so relieved!
