A member asked:
Once a month my breasts swell & are tender, after this week they resume normal size and i feel sick. is this a drop in estrogen or progesterone?

Neither: Most of your symptoms are probably due to Progesterone that is secreted by the ovary after ovulation. This is normal. Feeling sick can be due to a couple of things, and can also be normal. You can check with your doctor about the different ways to treat these problems if they are bothering you a lot.
