pain in the breast

[Forgotten love]

my boobs (the nipple area) two weeks before my period should start. i heard that it is usually a sign of pregnancy, but is this normal if you arent pregnant, and how can I subside the pain?

You have given too little information to really respond. Yes, this is common in pregnant women. If there is a possibility of being pregnant, that needs to be considered. Does this happen every month or is this a new event? Are you on a hormone (pill, shot, whatever)? Two weeks before your period you are approaching ovulation. Some women have some symptoms at this time. Sometimes internally, sometimes with the breasts. Some women have naturally tender nipples and others do not.

With the little you have given us, I can only recommend that you protect them from irritation. Your bra should have lined seams and should fit well. You should wear a bra, perhaps lightly padded, to prevent clothing from rubbing and irritating your nipples.

Normal? Not abnormal.

This has happened for the past 3 -4 months, but it also seems as if the pain has gotten worse this month. Now the difference between this month and the last is that i am closer to my boyfriend, (he really likes my boobs). Though I didnt think that they should be that bad. I am on Yasmine ~ I hope that i am not pregnant yet, but I will keep that possibility in mind. Thanks for the help!!
