Q: Sore Swollen Breasts

Hello,

a ladyfriend has been complaining that her breasts are very sensitive to touch (painful), and swollen. She is unsure if she is pregnant. However she isn't showing any of other syptoms that would indicate a pregnacy. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks for your help!

Sore breasts do not mean you are pregnant. I have had sore breasts for for the past 2 years every month 2 weeks right before I get my period. They swell and hurt vey badly. I am normally a 34 c and when they swell I can wear a d cup and I usually fill that to the maximum. They feel like balloons sometimes.

I would advise her to buy a test, it can't hurt. But I would assume that she's pregnant just because her breasts are swollen.

Sometimes women get sore breasts just before their period, as the previous post mentioned. If she is on the pill, that could also contribute to the soreness. I find the week right before my period, my breasts are so sore and swolen I also can fit into a larger bra (unfortunately not a d tho!Sad ) when I wasn't on the pill, this didn't happen often.

Thank you all for your help.
My friend states that the sorness/ most sensitive part is her nipple. If and when they are touched or bumped it senda her through the roof. The pain radiates through the whole chest. She also say her breast are hard as hell!! She ended her period about 2 weeks ago, however it was normal. It ran longer than usual. She has been on birth control for several years, no change in dosage or type either.

Sore Swollen Breasts
I'm 28,and my whole life I have never gotten sore,swollen breasts before my periods. Right before my last period my breasts started to get very sore and swollen,and has not stopped since. I've also been getting my periods every three weeks. In 2006 i had a tubal ligation,which I know it is still rarely possible to get pregnant. I have taken three pregnancy tests,and they were all negative. Yet my breasts continue to grow,and are still very sore. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong with me????

hormonal embalance..not necessarily pregnant!
I think its hormones. I am going through the same thing. I think some cycles our hormones get out of whack and we get sore breasts, headaches, sleepiness, etc. Don't contribute this to pregnancy unless you have missed a period and are more than 2 weeks late. Because this fluctuation in hormones can also cause a delay in your period starting as well.
