Get tested!: Sore and tender breasts can be a sign of pregnancy, so if you're sexually active (even a month or more ago), be sure to get a pregnancy test to know for sure.

Likely hormonal: Caffeine and cigarette smoking have been implicated as other causes of breast pain. Often the cause is not found if no associated lump or mass.
