Having Doubts...?

Question

I having doubts about whether or not I’m a.) pregnant, b.) about to begin my cycle/period, c.) just going through a growth spurt, d.) hormonal imbalance e.) possibly have an infection, or f.) have a breast cancer.

Here’s Why: My Breasts have been killing me for the past 2/3 days off and on, they’re sore/tender and hurt when I touch them and the sides, I have kind of swollen knot like spots on the inner, upper part of my breasts, the place that usually gets swollen when its that time of month, but not cancerous or anything, just hurts more than usual before starting my period. It just feels like I worked out those muscles really, really hard, but I haven’t at all.

But I’m not considering breast cancer as much (its not common in my family), cause it hurts, and also an infection, because I just had my yearly (pap) and the doctor said every thing was fine.

I have yet to get the results, so I’ll see and update my doctor on what’s going on, possibly another visit, just to be sure.

I haven’t had a period since June 14 or 15th, so it’s a little past due but I can’t be sure because I haven’t really noticed my cycles before hand. I have been on the pill, I stopped using it 6 months ago/TTC. Before my breasts became sore, I felt like I was going to start my period, and then a week later I thought I was going to, but didn’t. I’ve never been pregnant before. I really think I could have either a big hormonal imbalance, be pregnant, or be going through a growth spurt. What do you think? Be Nice!

Answer 1

Honey... please, just take a pregnancy test. I think it might answer your questions and stop the craziness. Being pregnant will cause all those things you are describing and if your last period was June 14, you will definitely show positive by now. You could just go to the doctor for a blood test next time you're there following up. In any case, take the test.

Good luck.

Answer 2

you sound pregnant to me... I would suggest a pregnancy test. Use your first morning pee, it's most potent then. If it's negative wait a week and take another. By then if you still have a negative test see a doctor.
