Q: Tender Breasts

Well I posted this else where about 4 days ago, but I never then got a response.

My girlfriend's breasts are tender (sore as she calls them). She has missed her period by 2 weeks, going on three. Ive heard that a girl's period can miss for no reason at all, even if she isnt pregnant. She got a pregnancy test done, and it came back negative. Why is it that her breasts are so tender? Is it because she is still growing and still developing? Also, her bra is a cup size smaller than what she is normally wearing. She just loosens the straps to make it fit. Could this also be a reason why?

Thanks!

Tender Breasts

Hey chevdude708, how are you doing?

Aching breasts is a direct result of it being that time of the month (cyclical breast pain). Cutting down on fat in the diet, taking simple painkillers, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, and wearing a good fitting support bra, can ease sore breasts.

To find out more about if your body trying to tell you something, please referr to dr sarah brewer's article is your body trying to tell you something? On ivillage uk limited.

best wishes,

Thank you so much. I'm glad to know its only a tempoary thing. Her breasts are noticeable bigger, at least to my touch, and even she says that they are just growing. A couple of my friends who love to give too much information told us that their breasts are also growing, and they are getting the same pains.

I will check that website out and keep you posted. Thanks again.
