Ok, Im 22 and my period has been crazy this last cycle. It usually lasts 5 days no matter what. This last cycle it only lasted about 3 days. I didnt get my usual menstural symptoms either. It ended on July 29. For the last 3 or so days Ive been having severe breast pain. Usualy in 1 or the other. Its a sharp pain that lasts about 15-20 mins and then it goes away usually. Ive been more moody than usual and Im really tired all the time. I dont know what it could be. My cycle has never been this off before and Im freaking out over all the stuff I read on the net about breast cancer and fibroids. I doubt its pregnancy, I never ovulated during my period before.
ANY help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I dotn think I did ovulate during my period, but I know it IS possible from what my dr told me before. VERY rare, but possible. And due to how heavy it was for the 2 days Im pretty sure it was, for sure, my period.
What freaks me out is its never happened before. Ive asked around and everyone assumes its pregnancy. Im about 99.9% sure its not. I say this b/c weve been careful so that doesnt happen (not completely carful due to the fatct Im not on BC) and I have been sexually active, even during my period.
My dr wasnt in today and Im still pretty freaked out.

Well, if you had an irregular cycle (and that happens) then the 3 days you were bleeding could have been just ovulating.
Its possible that you just ovulated later than usual. I doubt that the symptoms you are having are of a pregnancy, though. It would be too soon to have pregnancy symptoms. Ovulation comes with its own symptoms, though, and the beast pain could be sore muscles, even, or a simple anxiety attack, which can cause pains in various parts of the body. You could also be having something called a "hysterical pregnancy" even though you say you dont think its pregnancy- I feel that this is a major concern of yours, so when I say a hysterical pregnancy I dont mean you are pregnant, I mean you are making up symptoms of a pregnancy, in your mind, because you are very stressed out over the possibility of pregnancy.
I have seen a couple of breast specialists for a lump I found, and they said that a lump (if its cancerous) is generally NOT painful.
I wouldnt rule out fibroids, though. Might do you good to go get checked out.
Also, with irregular periods, and ovulation, since some women bleed while they ovulate (I ovulate for a few days directly before my period, and it seems like a period, but a little lighter) then it is possible that you did in fact just ovulate. You could also miss a period, if you are that stressed out about it- but that doesnt usually mean anything, either. I have missed about 3 periods in my life (Im 29), and it was just unexplainable. The Doctor said I was fine, each time.
I would suggest going to the doctor, and just getting it checked out, just in case. If you were ovulating, and you had sexual intercourse, it is possible that you could be pregnant, although I would say those symptoms are either in your mind, or not related.
Good Luck!

you need to go see a doctor. It could be many things and only the doctor is going to be able to single out exactly what it is. Just a FYI you never will ovulate during your period. The first day that you have flo is the first day of your cycle you ovulate about day 14 so most women have been over with thier period for some time before ovulation.

Women never ovulate during their period. That happens way before your period. Periods are a way of cleansing the unfertilized egg and lining of your uterus. If you had sex at any time before your period, get a pregnancy test and check. If it's positive then go to your ob/gyn. If it's negative wait a week and check again. If that's negative, then I would be inclined to think you're not pregnant. But that's the first thing you should be checking.
If any of the things you read about really concern you, discuss it with your doctor and know what your risks are and ways to reduce them. Your doctor is your first line of defense so ask away and ask often.

The only thing I can say for sure is that you are experiencing a hormonal imbalance. This comes from switching birth control, stress, change in diet, change in surroundings, or any change for that matter. Have you had some sort of change in the last two months?

Get a check-up and find out what's going on. Breast cancer is very treatable, if caught early. I've got an aunt who is now recovering.
Good luck!

I'm not sure, I've had mine for only
like a year and it started changing
to three days after a few months
and it stays that way now.
But hmmm...maybe you've been
exercising more. I think you should
make an appointment with the
doctor.

Is there any possibility that you could be pregnant? I don't mean to scare you, but these are all symptoms of a hormonal imbalance which could mean you are. I would get a home test if you think you might be...
