i am 19 and lately i notice my breasts feeling very sore and tender the week before my period and the first couple days into my period. breast cancer runs in my family (my grandma and aunt died from it) so i know it is important for me to check regularly and early on in life). do any other females get sore breasts the week before or during their period? i mean, they are both too sore to lay on my stomach. any thoughts?

I get the same exact thing. I dont even think of sleeping on my tummy or going anywhere without a bra. it really does hurt and gets ultra sensitive and tender. It's normal, my mom gets it too. I have friends who only experience horrible back pain. I guess it's just the body telling you you're about to get you're period. It's pretty common i would say. And no cancer does not run in my family or My friend's.

Lots and lots of us get sore at various times of the month.
What works for me is taking an evening primrose supplement every day quite a strong one and then i don't have it or only a little. I also find it helps my PMS as well.
Theres an old wives tale that cabbage leaves in the bra work really well, and some of my friends swear by it but ive never tried it.

Yes, it happens. Sorness and tenderness can happen during and before mestruation. Contact me for a method that helped me, but it is not apprpriate to post...some may take it extremely wrong; and I do not want that. I want to be able to give you advice that can help you without things being taken out of context.

yes its sure okay
don't worry about it
but still go to you GYN and ask her to teach you how to do a self exam to know if there is any thing going on, and do it every shower or every week you would get to know your body more and notice any changes in it but let the DOC check you for the first time and you check your self from there on ! but don't worry about it ! its really normal !!!!!!

Get used to it. Hot/cold showers will do the trick. After you have your children and breastfeed you will still have to deal with being a woman. It is perfectly natural. This is what we go though.

tender breasts are normal during certain parts of your cycle.
