Dear Anonymous,

Breast tenderness is very common to experience before, during, and sometimes after your period. Your breasts can be itchy and feel very full or engorged and sensitive to touch. If it went away after your period ended, then this is what you experienced. It is also very normal for a woman to experience breast tenderness during ovulation.

Hope this answers your question!
