That's normal...or you could be pregnant.
I mean I use to get the tenderness with my period, there's nothing you can do about it other than wear a good bra and take a warm bath/shower....
I mean heavy and tender....well, if you've had sex, you might want to consider taking an early pregnancy test. Signs of pregnancy are similar to PMS.
Quoted:
Pregnancy symptoms differ from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy; however, one of the most significant pregnancy symptoms is a delayed or missed menstrual cycle. Understanding pregnancy symptoms is important because each symptom may be related to something other than pregnancy. Some women experience pregnancy symptoms within a week of conception. For other women, symptoms may develop over a few weeks or may not be present at all. Below is a listing of some of the most common pregnancy symptoms.
Implantation Bleeding:
Implantation bleeding can be one of the earliest pregnancy symptoms. About 6-12 days after conception, the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall. Some women will experience spotting as well as some cramping.
Other Explanations: Actual menstruation, altered menstruation, changes in birth control pill, infection, or abrasion from intercourse.
Delay/Difference in Menstruation:
A delayed or missed menstruation is the most common pregnancy symptom leading a woman to test for pregnancy. When you become pregnant, your next period should be missed. Many women can bleed while they are pregnant, but typically the bleeding will be shorter or lighter than a normal period. This symptom is commonly explained by other reasons. If you have been sexually active and have missed a period, it is recommended that you take a test: Order my pregnancy test
Other Explanations: Excessive weight gain/loss, fatigue, hormonal problems, tension, stress, ceasing to take the birth control pill, or breast-feeding.
Swollen/Tender Breasts:
Swollen or tender breasts is a pregnancy symptom which may begin as early as 1-2 weeks after conception. Women may notice changes in their breasts; they may be tender to the touch, sore, or swollen.
Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance, birth control pills, impending menstruation (PMS) can also cause your breasts to be swollen or tender.
Fatigue/Tiredness:
Feeling fatigued or more tired is a pregnancy symptom which can also start as early as the first week after conception.
Other Explanations: Stress, exhaustion, depression, common cold or flu, or other illnesses can also leave you feeling tired or fatigued.
Nausea/Morning Sickness:
This well-known pregnancy symptom will often show up between 2-8 weeks after conception. Some women are fortunate to not deal with morning sickness at all, while others will feel nauseous throughout most of their pregnancy.
Other Explanations: Food poisoning, stress, or other stomach disorders can also cause you to feel queasy.
Backaches:
Lower backaches may be a symptom that occurs early in pregnancy; however, it is common to experience a dull backache throughout an entire pregnancy.
Other Explanations: Impending menstruation, stress, other back problems, and physical or mental strains.
Headaches:
The sudden rise of hormones in your body can cause you to have headaches early in pregnancy.
Other Explanations: Dehydration, caffeine withdrawal, impending menstruation, eye strain, or other ailments can be the source of frequent or chronic headaches.
Frequent Urination:
Around 6-8 weeks after conception, you may find yourself making a few extra trips to the bathroom.
Other Explanations: Urinary tract infection, diabetes, increasing liquid intake, or taking excessive diuretics.
Darkening of Areolas:
If you are pregnant, the skin around your nipples may get darker.
Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance unrelated to pregnancy or may be a leftover effect from a previous pregnancy.
Food Cravings:
While you may not have a strong desire to eat pickles and ice cream, many women will feel cravings for certain foods when they are pregnant. This can last throughout your entire pregnancy.
Other Explanations: Poor diet, lack of a certain nutrient, stress, depression, or impending menstruation.

Lay off caffeine and drink more water and next time it will probably lessen the symptoms. When I forget and drink too much caffeine ( which crave before my period ) then mine get sore too but when I watch the amount of caffeine I take and drink the recommended amount of water I ahve no problems. Also my periods are not as painful from cramps when I get enough water. BONUS!!
Rule out pregnancy though if there is a chance that you may be.

Try taking some Advil or Midol for the pain. But from what you say it sounds like you could be pregnant. Those are sure signs of it since it happens right before you get your period. Might want to go take a test to make sure.

Hi. well if your still under 16 or so they say you its still normal 2 experience irregular periods. I agree with most of the other answers, but I just wanted to add that even if a guy doesnt *** in you you can still fall pregnant as the pre-*** can contain sperm. Apparently the sperm stays in that canal in the guys penis and lets say he ejaculated at most 2 days b4 and small portion of that sperm could be released into you with the precum. But I hope your not pregnant. Children are not easy 2 have do young! Next time use protection...

It's normal. I get it too. After I started taking vitamin E my period got thinner so it wasn't as uncomfortable. The breast tenderness I just learned to deal with.

Extra calcium and iron is important for a female because these are lost during mensruation, however, they need to be taken seperately because the effects of both of them at the same time cancel each other out.

I just came on... and a week ago my breast started hurting so bad.. i couldn't lay on them or anything.. they hurt........ sssssssooooooooooooooooooooo bad... it was terrible. I didn't do anything to relieve the pain.. . I just didn't touch them.. now that I have started my cycle.... they feel a little better!
Why don't you try warm rags or a hot shower, heating pad.. something like that!

I heard an old wives tale once that if you take vitamin E it helps with soreness and swelling. But if possible u might wanna think bout a pregnancy test.
