I have a question/concern...I am wondering if it is normal for my breasts to feel sore/firm/heavier than normal two weeks before my period is supposed to start. I got my period on June 6 and it ended on June 15, which means that I would be getting my period around July 6. I would say that my breasts started to hurt around the 22 or the 23 of June. My breasts normally start to feel sore a week or so before my period starts, which has always been normal for me, so I'm a little concerned since they started feeling sore so early this time. My breasts are sore around the outer edges, and they only hurt when I push down on them or move around/lift my arms up. The area around my nipples definitely seems more stretched out than usual. There is some darkening around this area, but I think they have always looked like that. I have also been having a clear, watery discharge for the past couple of days.
I'm 22 years old and I am not on birth control. The only form of birth control my boyfriend and I use are condoms, and we have never had unprotected sex. We have always, always used a condom. I know that condoms are not always 100% safe so...ugh.
I have been reading some forums on early pregnancy symptoms that have to do with breast soreness and what not, and I have made myself very nervous and scared. Sometimes I feel very paranoid about becoming pregnant since that's that last thing I want right now. I also sometimes feel that having sex isn't worth all this worrying and that if I am not mature enough to handle a pregnancy than I shouldn't even be having sex in the first place. I tend to over-exagerate everything and assume that it's an early pregnancy symptom as opposed to PMS, and this is not the first time that this has happened. This is the only thing I have been able to think about for the past couple of days! It is so distracting/annoying! So, it would be nice to hear someone else's advice or input. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

My best friend thinks their growing or im about to start my period but thats not for two more weeks and I was wondering if that meant their was a chance I could be pregnant.

Hello I don't know what's happening I have had sex with my boyfriend 2 weeks ago and now I'm supposed to be due to start my period, however my breasts have been really tender and my nipples have been sore. I usually get sore breasts before I start my period. I've taken a home pregnancy test and it said negative, but my breasts still hurt and I haven't had any other symptoms to do with pregnancy so now I'm really worried .

I'm going through the same thing. I'm 20 and last year I had a silent miscarriage at 6 weeks. I started my periodon the 14th jan and had protected sex on the 28th (after having oral sex with a condom I thought it had a hole in it but my fiancé didn't think so) we had sex and for the past 2 days my breasts are so sore even just walking makes them hurt so bad. When we took the condom off there didn't seem to be anything leaking out of it. I want a baby so bad after miscarrying. Has anyone else experienced this?
Sorry for so much detail

According to planned parenthood, pregnancy symptoms such as sore breasts, do not appear until after your missed period. Go to their live chat to confirm this!

That made me laugh... u can experience pregnancy symptoms right after conception and sometimes those symptoms are mistaken for period symptoms

Pregnancy symptoms vary from women to women.

Hi Ladies
I had a similar issue as well sore breasts 2 weeks before my periods and they were late for about 2 days then i had hem but were vere abnormal with clots. After my periods started to have pregnancy signs. I have not tested because i think it will come negative like always but now i think i should. My areolas are starting to change in color and my stomach is feeling bubbly like most of the time, no apetite, tired always, tender and heavy breasts, cramps(stomach, legs and hands), moody, dry eyes and mouth etc. do you think i shoud test.
