Accepted Answer

Best to test: Pregnancy symptoms don’t always mean pregnancy is present but best to do a pregnancy test, since the implant is primarily a progesterone hormone which does not usually cause such symptoms.  The implant is usually quite effective in preventing pregnancy but not quite 100% effective. If your pregnancy test is negative I recommend follow up with the provider who placed the implant

Question 2

24days late on period. extreme breast tenderness around areola, fatigue, loss of appetite hearturn and weird sensation in pelvic area.i have taken 1 clear blue test that have a pencil thin blue posivtive line, other tests were negative. please advise?

Accepted Answer

: It is time for a blood test to confirm or rule out pregnancy if you think you can be pregnant.

Question 3

symptoms are: 5 days late on period, lower back and abdominal pain, hot flash face, loss of appetite, mood swings, breast tenderness, bloating. plz help?

Accepted Answer

Infection: Why have you not done a pregnancy test? All answers regarding your menstrual period will depend on the outcome of the pregnancy test.

But, before that your symptoms also represent a urinary tract infection. I would get that checked out as well.

Question 4

for 2 weeks i've had tender breasts and nipples, headaches, nausea and loss of appetite. i have an iud (paragard) could i be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Possible: If you are sexually active, then this is possible. IUD's are very successful at preventing pregnancy but nothing is 100%.  However there are other medical conditions that could be giving you these symptoms.  Follow up with a primary care doctor or ob/gyn

Question 5

period 23 days late. cramping. lots of white discharge. moody. tired. nausea. loss of appetite. slightly tender breasts. neg hpts appt in a few days.

Accepted Answer

Hard to say.: Could be any one of a number of things, but if you have appt in a few days there is nothing to be gained here.  Exam and hx are far better than any internet advice.

Question 6

what causes breast tenderness?

Accepted Answer

Variable: If there are no issues with the breast such as a fibrocystic nodularity, breast tenderness is usually a response to increasing estrogen levels. Women in their forties tend to be relatively Progesterone deficient, leading to imbalance between estrogen & Progesterone especially late in the menstrual cycle. This produces an estrogen dominant effect which may cause breast tenderness.

Question 7

what causes breast tenderness and pain?

Accepted Answer

Watch the coffee: Besides elevate estrogen levels just before your period or in early pregnancy, caffeine and chocolate can cause breast tenderness. These things can aggravate breast tissue and lead to cysts in the breast. Trauma is a more obvious cause but the good news is that bad things (like cancer) do not tend to be painful.

Question 8

what should i do to relieve breast tenderness?

Accepted Answer

Fibrocystic changes: You could have fibrocystic changes. This is the most common cause of breast pain.  It can be aggravated by caffeine, stress, menstrual cycle and hormonal supplements. If you are over 40, then you should have a mammogram and ultrasound.  Please get evaluated by a breast specialist.

Question 9

i have breast tenderness on 1 side only. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: This is one of those problems where a visit to your doctor is necessary to figure out what's going on.

Question 10

what could cause really bad breast tenderness so you have to wear a bra?

Accepted Answer

Many things: Periods, pregnancy, coffee, breast feeding, infection, lesions in breasts (cysts, lymph nodes) medications, etc...
