Tingling, Sore, Tender Breast. Nipples very sensitive at times. Even wearing a bra is uncomfortable at times. Monthly cycle due this next Sunday March 8th. Have had tender breast a week pryor but never the "tingling" sensation.?

Hey, I am a male. im 17 years of age. Me and my girlfriend who is also 17 had unprotected sex about 8 days ago. She recently got off of birth controll and I didnt know that before we had intercorse. She went on vacation to California and was up their about 5 days prior to me. I flew in and spent the rest of spring break with her. The night I showed up we had sex 3 times. I pulled out each time and the time inbetween sex was about 5 minutes. (not of ejaculation) but of doing it. I pretty much live at my girlfriends house and last night we were talking and she told me how her nipples are very sensitive. I didnt really know what it ment but when we were talking she explained to me that it could be a sign of pregnancy. I dont want my gf to sound like a hoe because I love her to death. But when she was at a party she got pregnant by a guy who took advantage of her. She already had an abortion and if she didnt she would be 5 months pregnant right now. I really dont want her to have another, but I think it would be for the best. She has a very high I.Q. and has been getting a lot of scholorships for my colleges, and I see the potential in her to succede. It would be very hard on her either way. She doesnt want a kid in the future. She says its unfair to pick and choose when to have one since she already has had an abortion.
When we had unprotected sex was last thursday around 8-10 pm. Today is friday 2:20 pm. She told me yesterday she was feeling the tenderness in her breasts. mainly the right one. She also left school early yesterday because she felt sick. Also she just told me she's feeling heart burn. I know those are signs of pregnancy. but it seems to early.
she has also been really really stressed out by her mother recently, and has been drinking a lot of starbucks and caffiene, and also a lot of water as of recently. But she has never felt this sensation since the first time she got pregnant. Im really nervous.

I too have experienced problems with tender nipples, but only a few times when they have been extremely sore. During these times of extreme soreness, I was also experiencing extreme stress. I also believe that caffeine accentuates this problem, it's just that we're all so addicted, we don't want to admit it.

I believe I too have experienced the "tingling" you describe. I have used the word "buzzing" to describe the sensation I'm feeling. It feels like a bee is buzzing inside my nipple. Unlike the tenderness though, I have not noticed any relation to this and stress or caffeine, and only in my one nipple in my larger breast. I add this detail as it has been explained to me by doctors that the ovary connected to this breast is the one that is active. So, I figure this is just normal hormonal activity. The same is not true in regard to nipple tenderness. When it comes to this problem, both breasts are given equal opportunity!

Hope this helps!

Hi Im 21 and these last 2 weeks I have been having sore aching breasts and very sensitive nipples. They ere kinda itchy at first and now just sore, I put lotion on them so yea. I had sex maybe about a month ago or 4 weeks ago and used a condom but I know it didnt break and Im not sure if its signs of pregnancy? or if its to early to have symtoms.?

The nurse told me to wait it out until my period is over, if sensation continues over a week after my period ends, that she would like to see me. The sensation comes and goes, so I am sure that it is just hormonal.

Hi Tonya! I'm so glad you called today to speak with the nurse at your OB/GYN's office. And thank you too for clarifying when you were experiencing these symptoms in your breast. I think most women get changes in one or both breasts around the time of their periods.

I thought your description of how it feels like it's growing was just perfect and so descriptive--I know exactly what you mean!

When you can, please let us know how the conversation with the nurse went today. I admire you for taking charge of your health! M

I will discuss this issue with my ob/gyn. I plan to call her nurse when the clinic opens. I do only have sore breast around my monthly cycle, not all month long. Usually only a few days before this time a week or so, with just a mild tenderness. The tingling sensation kind of comes and goes. It almost feels as if maybe they are growing. They do seem to feel fuller and my bra is noticibly tighter today. So as soon as I talk to my ob, I will repost to let you know what the nurse says. Also in answer to your caffeine question, I have actually cut back. I started a water drinking binge last week. 2 cups of morning coffee (which is normal) then water with lemon for the work day and i usually drink juice or ice water with my dinner.
