Usually : Breast cancer does not hurt. You also are not in the age category for the condition and self exam is negative. I also do not know were are u in your cycle. You can wait and see what happens, but if anxious the best go see your gynecologist.

Probably not: Breast cancer usually is a lump that you can feel or that can be seen on mammogram. Given your young age and no lump, it is very unlikely to be breast cancer. If you have breast cancer in your family history, you could see your physician to get it checked out. But, probably nothing to worry about.
