Breasts are always sore the week before my period. period is due today and breasts haven't been sore at all. should i be concerned at all?

Breast tenderness: I would wait until the expected menses does or does not come. If it comes, thank the 'powers that be' that you were spared this month.

Thank

Breast tenderness: No, I would not worry about this as the tenderness is associated with your hormone levels I would however consider pregnancy if yo have had unprotected sex
