I too, have found out that I had a molar pregnancy (there was no fetus, only tissue that if left too long or grows too large can act as a cancer or invasive mole, which can then spread to the lungs) . This was in June of 2009. My levels were higher than those for most cases. I was refered to oncologists. Well, after lots of worrying, my levels returned to normal. Now I am just waiting for my required pregnancy-free year to be up before trying again. 3 1/2 months… now all of a sudden I am having sore breasts and nipples. I am wondering if this is normal, or cause for more concern. Any answers are greatly appreciated.

Oh.. I also did try birth control because thats what my gyno said would help with the severe PMS. And honesty… it didnt do shit, it just made it worse. My boobs got bigger, and I gained weight, and broke out. When I went off it after 3 months, all these things went away in about 3 days.

Hi everyone, I am 21 years old and suffer from sore and swollen boobs for a full week before getting my period. They get so sore that its hard to walk without them hurting. Even my shirts will hurt my nipples they are so sore and sensitive. In the past I have found that the best way to treat it is a really pure and healthy diet. Try sticking to organic, wholesome, and pure foods, and stay away from dairy, sugar, and processed foods. This is SO hard for me because my favorite thing to do is eat icecream and sweets. But when I do stick to this healthy lifestyle, the pain and tenderness is like night and day. My boobs almost hardly hurt. I also gain like 10 pounds from water retention in about a week. ITS INSANE! From what Iv learned, theres nothing to be worried about, its all natural, its just up to you to control it. I used to get worried about being pregnant, and my period is VERY irregular so I was always unsure as to when I was going to get it. I started tracking my periods by recording the days I got it on my phone. I wouldnt jump to the pregnant conclusion solely based on these symptoms. Especially if theyre happening BEFORE your expected period. Pregnancy symptoms dont start until 2 weeks AFTER your expected period. Goodluck! hope this helps

I have had the most horrible pain in my right nipple for the past two weeks. I also feel pain in my right armpit. I haven’t noticed any discharge by feel like my nipple is stuck to my bra. This pain seems to be centered in the right nipple and underarm. The left nipple nothing. Is this something I should be concerned about?
I had a procedure called Novasure done about 6 or 7 years ago….no periods since……

I am 55 yrs. old and have been thru menopause for about a year now. When I did have a period I would experience painful breasts and nipples. That has been over with for a long time. There is about a week now my nipples are so sore I can not even wear a bra comfortably, as the nipples are very tender.
I hesitate to go to the doctor if it is nothing to worry about.
any suggestions or input that might help me?

Hi, I’m 26 was on mini pill for 9 months, which stopped my periods completely, come off it about 8-10 weeks ago, had a very very light period about 2 weeks ago, before that I started with very, very sore, tender and itchy breasts, at first I thought it was because i hadn’t had period for so long, however, they hven’t stopped being sore. I feel like crying most of the time, they are so sore. I have vomitted a few times, and don’t seem to manage to drink alcohol without feeling very sick. I sometimes have a metal taste in my mouth too. I did test before last period but was negative, but have heard you can stil have periods whilst pregnant. Could I be pregnant? If not what else could be causing such sore breasts?
