Why Am I Having Breast Discomfort?

Question

It's one week before my period should begin, but the underside of my b***s has been hurting for about 4-5 days now. Not the nipple, not the top, just the underside. I should mention my b***s normally swell during this time, but never are uncomfortable. Could I be pregnant? Thanks.

Answer 1

It is possible that you could be pregnant because breast swelling and tenderness is one of the first noticeable signs of pregnancy. With pregnancy, the b*****s tend to hurt all around the upper breast and not necessarily the nipple or areola.  It could also be a change in hormones that could increase the swelling of your b*****s or cause discomfort. Is your cycle irregular? Did you change/discontinue birth control?  If the answer is no to those, and you have never experienced this before, you might be pregnant.

Answer 2

You could be pregnant, maybe you should try a different kind of bra for awhile.

Answer 3

I can't say for sure, but I'd be happy to take a look and tell you my "feelings" on the matter.

Answer 4

Possibility, but it could just be your period too. wait until you miss a period & take a test. Good Luck if that's what you are hoping for

Answer 6

You could very well be pregnant.  But in a case like this, anything could be wrong with you.  It is advisable to see your doctor. ASAP, because you shouldn't feel discomfort in the breast.  This is nothing to take lightly. See your doctor.

Answer 7

It's not uncommon. It happens and is all part of PMS.  You wouldn't feel pregnancy symptoms this early - you would have had to of had s*x within the last week to even get pregnant and generally the first sign of pregnancy is a missed period.  It's PMS.  Take Tylenol/Motrin/Advil/Alleve or use a heating pad.  It'll go away.
