Many women experience tender breasts at some point in their life. It can be caused by many reasons, the majority being of a hormonal nature. When this happens, the breasts can feel sore when you touch them or when you move around, and they feel heavier and/or fuller.

Hi Sue, hope you could help me.. Its been a year since my husband and I are trying to get pregnant. My cycle is usually 32-35 days there are time that it exceed more than 35 days. I have my period last Sept. 3, 2016. Last Sept. 25 i got confused because i have dark brown discharge that last up to 3 days. I know this is not a regular menstruation because it came too early and i am supposed to have my period on the first week or 2nd week of October. Its October 27 now (more than 3 weeks delayed) and i still i don’t have my period . I did PT last week and it came out negative. The symptoms of breast pain, headache and slight cramping just occur 5 days ago till now.. What am i experiencing? Am i pregnant?
Hi there Jo! The bleeding you had on 25 Sept that lasted for 3 days might be the implantation bleeding and you might be pregnant now. Now, home pregnancy tests are not very accurate. You should visit a specialist and get yourself checked for pregnancy. Regards

Hi Annie, the bleeding you had might be implantation bleeding and you might be pregnant now. Your pregnancy tests came out negative because you took the test too early. You should take a test on the 14th day (or after) of your missed period. In this way you will always get accurate results. Regards
Hi, am lacey. I had my period on the 3rd of October, it came as spotting it didn’t flow at all. I had sex on the 8th. It’s been 16days since then. Early this morning I had an unusual cramp in my abdomen, it stopped as soon as I drank a glass of water. I feel a little pain in my right abdomen when I press it down with my hands laying on my back and my breast is tender, a bit sore and getting fuller and heavy. I took the strip test yesterday and it was negative. Could I be pregnant and the hcg is there yet?
Hi Lacey, The symptoms you are experiencing might be because of some other cause, not pregnancy. You should visit a doctor now and get yourself checked. Regards

My period ended on the 3rd … I had unprotected sex on the 8th … by the 11th my breast became extremely sore and heavy. I’m also experiencing lower back pains. Is it possible that I ovulated right after my period & could be pregnant?
Hi Sasha, it is not possible to ovulate right after menstruation. But you should take a pregnancy test to confirm that whether you are pregnant or not. Regards
No, You are most likely feeling ovulation soreness. Ovulation usually occurs about 14 days after the start of your period.

When is too soon to test? My sister was three months before she took an at home test after realizing she hadn’t had a cycle. This was with two of her children. My mother had the same issue with an at home test. My doctor told me I was exhibiting symptoms but my urine test was negative. I still have the metallic taste in my mouth which I blame on my sinuses but the vomiting within ten minutes of eating, headaches, and a heightened sex drive according to my mate. Any suggestions? Should I request an ultrasound?
Hi, Thanks for your comment!
Yes, you should surely go for an ultrasound because in the home test the pregnancy hormone is most of the times not detected by it. Regards
