sore breasts - crampy and tired - test negative
Posted: 12-11-07 22:28pm

My breasts always get sore before my period. Well, this time they were sore before my period and stayed sore afterwards. My doctor said it's nothing to worry about and sent me home. It's about one week away from my next period and they're killing me they are so sore. I feel crampy and sooooo tired!! I keep thinking I'm pregnant - I would LOVE to be pregnant - but the pregnancy test was negative.
I hate playing mind games with myself and getting myself so excited about having a baby. Then when I have my period I get so disappointed. What should I do?? Am I really pregnant? Has this happened to anyone else because I feel really alone right now???

Since you have seen your doctor and he says that there is nothing to worry about, these are probably just signs of PMS...there is medication that you can take for that if you feel that it's too much for you to handle.

The only thing that you can do is realize that tender and sore breasts are not just a sign of pregnancy. There are actually about 72 causes of sore and tender breasts. Since it occurs with your period monthly, you should not get your hopes up that you are pregnant. Just relax and tell yourself that it is normal symptom for you and that it doesn't mean pregnancy. Keep reminding yourself of that, and then you won't be disappointed.

Breast tenderness is not exclusive to pregnancy. PMS and Pregnancy symptoms are identical .
