Your still low risk: At your age you remain in the low risk category. Family history, smoking, genetic features are what contribute most to your risk. Age is a huge risk but 29 is still very young. 40 is the age where we really began to concern ourselves a little more and definitely over 50. However you can be diagnosed at your age so odd you have symptoms or concerns then yes see your doctor.

Hard to say...: This question can bring about some pretty complicated answers but i will tell you the way i like to look at it. The age of your first period realistically tells us essentially nothing about your chance of getting breast cancer. Unfortunately, roughly 1 of every 8 women will develop breast cancer at some point in their life so it is important as you get older to have exams and screening mammograms.
