A member asked:

I'm trying to get pregnant. i have extremely sore nipples. i typically get sore breasts right before my period but i'm mid cycle. could i be pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could be.: If you have been having unprotected sex you certainly could be pregnant. Are you checking yourself with home pregnancy test kits? Might not be a bad idea. Have you already started prenatal vitamins?
