Accepted Answer

There are any of a: number of reasons for your symptoms including being pregnant. If the symptoms persist you should see a health care provider for a thorough evaluation.

Question 2

sore and sensitive nipples on my periods. any help?

Accepted Answer

Vitamin B6 may help: The soreness and sensitivity are related to hormone changes in your breasts. For some women, doses of vit b6, 25-50 mg daily the week before your period may help. Maintaining regular exercise, decreasing caffeine and alcohol are other things that can decrease breast symptoms related to periods. Birth control pills can also help for some.

Question 3

1 week after period got sore nipples, it's been a week & now sore breasts. been on bcp for 1yr, partner always uses withdrawal. not normal pls help ?

Accepted Answer

Hmm: Are the nipples sore and red from trauma, (rubbing, chaffing or biting) if so please get checked by your doctor for an exam and more answers.

Question 4

period & had unprotected sex during the last day and following 3 days.  i started having extremely sensitive nipples 2d after sex. no bc 2 mos. ideas?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy: It seems a little bit early for you to be having pregnancy related changes in your breasts. That being said, you could have gotten pregnant earlier or you are at risk of pregnancy and really should consider getting tested or being observant of your next period. Look for any redness or any excoriations of your nipples because that could be either pain related to minor trauma or a yeast infection.

Question 5

can you tell me is being constipated and having sensitive nipples normal before your period?

Accepted Answer

Yes,: Bowel function can certainly be affected by the hormonal changes of menstruation.  Some women regularly take mild laxative or fiber around their periods.  Non steroidal antiinflammatory medications are often helpful with nipple soreness.

Question 6

i'm on clomiphene this cycle.  my period is due in 2 days, but i have had very sensitive nipples for 1 1?

Accepted Answer

Clomid (clomiphene): Unfortunately, the sensitive nipples can be a side effect of the clomiphene.  Still, you could also be pregnant. A pregnancy test now or tomorrow will confirm whether things worked but may still be early.

Question 7

period (7/1/2014), sex (7/19/2014) now 18 days late, sensitive nipples, threw up once but get nauseous feeling every now and then but neg preg test ?

Accepted Answer

Trust the test: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate. They are the same tests used in a doctor's office. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception. The best time to take one is when you miss your period.  If you doubt the result you can repeat it in 1-2 days. If you were pregnant the hormone level would rise enough for detection. You should schedule a visit to discuss your nausea.

Question 8

good day im a 28 year old woman. about a week after finished period both breast are very sensitive to touch as well as nipples.its going on 2 weeks now very sore.they also feel a bit bigger.im yet to start my period in 7 days.what could be thecause?

Accepted Answer

Breast pain ?: The timing is a little short for breasts to be tender secondary to pregnancy, but with twin pregnancy, the estrogen/progesterone production may explain this.  Obtain a serum HCG test to be certain about pregnancy.

Question 9

sore breasts, nipples are swollen and way more sensitive than usual? i start my period very soon

Accepted Answer

Variable: Symptoms associated with menstrual and hormonal changes can be variable from month to month, year to year.  What was normal in your teens for you cycle may disappear and a different "normal" may appear in your 20's or 30's.  If you miss a period, take a pregnancy test!

Question 10

my sense of smell heightened, 6 days after sex had pinkish brown disharge. still no period. sensitive nipples. mild lower back pain. restless nights.

Accepted Answer

Take pregnancy test: You have not really asked a question here, but i'm guessing that you may be concerned about possible pregnancy.  If so, you can take a home pregnancy test once you've missed your menstrual period.  It will be accurate a week after your missed period -- some are accurate sooner.  Or, visit your doctor who can provide a serum test.
