Breast tenderness: Breast tenderness prior to and during a menstrual cycle is likely due to hormone fluctuations. Excessive caffeine intake can make this tenderness worse.

Glandular changes: It could be some early fibrocystic breast changes, but many women do have breast pain and tenderness right before their period. Each month your body is preparing to get pregnant and the hormonal changes cause breast pain as well. Try some tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen a couple times a day several days before your period. You may also benefit from a birth control pill.
