A member asked:

Usually towards the end of ovulation i have tenderness in my breasts that lasts till my period. not this month though. why may that be ? did i not ov?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: There are many contributing factors to breast tenderness. Hormones, diet, genetics, amount of fibrocystic changes, etc. The lack of ovulation would certainly alter the hormonal affect on your breasts.

Dr Killian and another doctor agreed
