Does everyone's chest hurt during pregnancy?

I didn't have any pain at all. That's what made me suspect pregnancy. Otherwise, I always had pain before my period.

Mine didn't hurt either, which is exactly why I suspected pregnancy, because normally my breasts would start hurting before my period.

At the very beginning, it hurt a lot—it was even painful to sleep. Now, at 9 weeks, it's itching unbearably. I scratch it until it bruises, though I try to hold back, of course. I apply moisturizing cream twice a day.

didn't hurt.

I was sick. And now it often doesn't hurt before my period either.

No

Actually, it's not always due to elevated prolactin that breasts hurt before menstruation. At one point, my breasts started hurting a couple of weeks before my period—I was undergoing an examination at the time, and my prolactin levels turned out to be high. For fertilization to occur, prolactin needs to be low, so it makes sense that at the beginning of pregnancy, this hormone cannot be high. Therefore, it's likely that those who usually experience breast pain before their periods don't feel it then. However, as pregnancy progresses, prolactin levels will rise sharply because it's responsible for milk production, which is why breasts enlarge and swell.

Only around weeks 6-10, I had a little itching and my nipples were slightly sore, but now I'm not bothered at all—16 weeks.

It hurt terribly, it became huge (increased from size two to size four) with purple veins and stretch marks. I could only sleep in a soft bra and only on my side. By weeks 9-10, I had already gotten used to the pain, and it doesn't hurt as much. Now at 13 weeks, I don't even notice it anymore.

It hurt a lot, and it grew a lot.

In my first pregnancy, my breasts didn't hurt, even though they always hurt before my period. They only started hurting after the delay. In my second pregnancy, they hurt from after ovulation and didn't stop until the 9th week. After that, the breast pain stopped, but my nipples remained very sensitive and sore.

It hurt, but not right away, starting around week 10, then it increased by about two sizes, and it seems to have stopped for now, no pain after around week 20. I'm terrified thinking about what my breasts will be like again when the milk comes in...

Before the CD, it didn't hurt, just swelled a bit, but from the second week it started to hurt. Now at 9 weeks, it's aching a lot(( it has become huge.

Before pregnancy, I never had pain before my period. And during pregnancy, not everyone experiences pain, just like with morning sickness—some have it severely, some feel a bit nauseous in the morning, and some don't have it at all.

It's swollen, not exactly painful, but touching it is quite uncomfortable.

Two weeks after my period, my breasts became swollen and sore. Now, with four days left until my next period, the pain has stopped, and a test showed a faint second line.

Girls, my breasts always used to hurt and swell after ovulation until my period. This cycle, I did have ovulation (I used tests and tracked my basal temperature), but my breasts haven't swollen at all—they're soft, and I don't feel anything. We've been trying for two years now, and this has never happened before; we haven't been able to get pregnant. Could it have worked this time, what do you think? I'm only on day 20 of my cycle, and my cycle is 30 days long, so it's still too early to take an HCG test or even use a pregnancy test.

During my pregnancy, my breasts didn't hurt at all, but I should add that they also didn't hurt during my periods. It's all individual: some people experience pain, others don't!

I have pain in my upper part, like after the gym, but otherwise everything is fine (for now). Could this be a sign of pregnancy?

I've always had breast pain 10 days before my period—well, not exactly pain, more like a slight tingling inside. This month, I haven't felt anything at all, and there are only 2 days left until my period. Could this be pregnancy?

Hi, I have the same dilemma. My breasts always hurt consistently after ovulation and right up until my period, and as soon as the pain stopped, it meant my period was about to come. This cycle has been strange. My breasts didn’t hurt in the middle of the cycle (so I thought I didn’t ovulate), but then they started hurting on day 26, with increasing pain from morning until afternoon... then it gradually subsided, and by bedtime that day, they weren’t hurting at all—soft and painless as usual. I couldn’t figure out what that was... Now it’s day 27 (my cycle is usually 25-27 days), my breasts aren’t hurting, and there’s no spotting (since I have endometriosis, I usually have spotting 2-5 days before). The tests are negative... I’m sitting here trying to make sense of it... Either my condition has improved and everything is getting back to normal, or after 10 years of trying, I might finally be pregnant!!! I really hope it’s the second option =)

Hi, I've always had breast pain before my period, usually starting about a week before, but this month it didn't hurt at all, and now I have a 2-3 day delay... and now I'm experiencing slight breast pain... could you please tell me what this might be?

Girls, about 5 days after my period, my nipples started hurting really badly, and after 2 days it all went away. My breasts became soft and painless. I thought maybe I was finally pregnant... but now I'm having doubts. Has anyone else experienced this? Still really hoping for a pregnancy though :)

Will anyone write about the outcomes of their doubts? I think everyone is curious. Because at first, my chest didn't hurt, then two days before my period it started hurting, and now I'm one day late and it still hurts. What do these changes mean, or am I just being overly anxious?

I don't know what to think either.

My period should have started already, but my breasts didn't hurt at all this cycle, even though they always do. The tests are still negative for now.

Elya, were both of your pregnancies successful? During one of mine, my breasts hurt a lot, and I had lower abdominal pain—I felt really unwell. At 5 weeks, I had a miscarriage. Now, after ovulation, my lower abdomen hurts, and my breasts are just tingling... So I'm wondering, could pregnancy manifest differently each time?

Girls, please tell me, what's going on with me? I'm a couple of days late, tests are negative, I feel a pulling sensation from the corpus luteum on the right side of my uterus, pain like the start of a UTI, my breasts are soft but my areolas have noticeably enlarged. I saw a doctor who told me to take Foliber and get a blood test. I decided to wait a couple more days for hCG to rise. This is my first cycle without protection with my partner. Could I be pregnant?

I'll share my experience. My last pregnancy was a blighted ovum (no embryo). In the next pregnancy, before the missed period and a bit after, my breasts hurt terribly, even making it painful to sleep at night. Then the breast pain stopped, they deflated, became like rags. Having read online comments that this is a sign of a missed miscarriage, I rushed in tears to the clinic. The doctor calmed me down, saying that breasts don't necessarily have to grow and hurt, that for many women the belly grows while the breasts stay the same. But seeing my panic, she immediately sent me for an ultrasound. It was 5 obstetric weeks; they only saw the gestational sac. The ultrasound technician said that at this stage the embryo isn't visible yet and told me to come back in 10 days.

A whole week of stress and nerves waiting for the next ultrasound. My breasts still didn't grow or swell; there were also no signs of fatigue or morning sickness. Unable to wait the full 10 days, I went for another ultrasound after 6 days. And, oh, MIRACLE! The embryo was visualized, and they let me listen to the heartbeat!

By the way, while sitting in the waiting room for the ultrasound, I saw a heavily pregnant girl, but she had no noticeable breasts at all. So, dear girls, let me dispel the myth that the absence of pain and swelling in the breasts is a sign of a missed miscarriage.

The doctor prescribed Utrogestan, 200 mg twice a day. Also, the ultrasound technician said to completely avoid all chemicals: don't paint nails, don't dye hair, don't use deodorant, not even roll-on, as they contain heavy metal salts (that's what he called them, I think). He said to completely avoid contact with chemicals when washing dishes, the bathtub, or the toilet. It's better not to wash them at all, but if you must, use thick gloves, as all these household chemicals are absorbed into the bloodstream very quickly. He also said that the embryo can die from overheating, so taking hot baths is dangerous; a warm shower is better.

Hello everyone, I don't know what to think. My husband and I wanted a baby. On November 26th, we didn't... and on the 27th either.

Now, counting, today is December 2nd... so 7 days have already passed. On the 4th day, my breasts started to hurt a bit, and I felt a little... my nipples, my breasts became slightly firmer. My period is supposed to come on the 9th or 10th of December. Could these signs be pregnancy, or is it just my period coming? Also, my lower abdomen hurts, especially in the morning. Please don’t hesitate to write to me.

Oh, and also, I was once pregnant by him before, but I had an abortion. We didn’t know each other well back then.

And when I got pregnant before, the signs were the same, and at 2.5 weeks, I already got two bright lines on the test. Although now I see some people writing and saying that tests only show accurately after 4 or 5 weeks. Strange, maybe it’s different for everyone. (THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND FOR RESPONDING TO MY MESSAGE.)

I'll share my story. I'm 24 years old. We've been trying to conceive for the second year now. My first pregnancy ended unsuccessfully at 6 weeks (obstetric). My breasts have always hurt, and during the first pregnancy, they hurt very, very badly in the second phase... possibly due to elevated prolactin. But I haven't gotten tested. The doctor prescribed Mastodynon. After that, ovulation disappeared altogether for 3-4 months, and my cycle was completely off—lasting up to 40 days. I have no strength left at all; the girls who are trying to conceive will understand. Now we're trying again. My period is due in two days, and my breasts aren't hurting much, just a little. There are no signs of pregnancy. I'm waiting and hoping for //.....

Well, have you finally gotten your answer??? I'm waiting too, only a year, but I'm already out of strength. My period should come in 2–4 days, no sensations in my breasts at all—I don't know whether to consider this a sign or not... Good luck to everyone! May your little ones come into the world soon!!! We can do this, girls. This is our purpose. Everything will work out!!!

Good evening, I usually have breast tenderness before my period, about two weeks before, but this month it's not sore at all, and there are 3 days left until my period. Did your assumptions about pregnancy turn out to be correct???

Ladies, for those of you who stopped having breast pain and then pregnancy occurred? I'm in the same situation. It always hurt, for 3 months since I stopped taking birth control pills, we're trying for a baby, this month it doesn't hurt, only last week my nipples were terribly bothering me, 5 days until my period, but my breasts are silent... What do you think, pregnancy?

This month it seems like everyone is in the same boat, maybe we were affected by 12/21/2012?)))))

I've never had breast pain before my period, but now, 10 days before it starts, it's impossible to even touch them. Then, after about two days, it's fine, and later they just feel heavy, as if they're a size 5. Sometimes there's a pulling sensation in the lower abdomen. Interesting what this could be—the best thoughts are starting to creep in)))

Girls, I have a question. My breasts have never hurt before my period, or if they did, it was just a little bit. But this month, they've been hurting a lot for two days now—it's even painful to touch—and on top of that, instead of my period, I have brown discharge. Can you tell me what this might be?

My breasts always used to hurt 7 days before my period! But now they are very soft (((( My cycle is 31 days. My last period was on December 7, and now it's already January 7, and there are no signs of my period, and my breasts don't hurt ((((((((

Well, did you find out anything? Are you pregnant?

I'm in exactly the same situation, my breasts don't hurt at all. After a year and a half of trying to conceive, I've gotten used to feeling my breasts the day after ovulation—they become fuller, more sensitive, and about 7-8 days before my period, I get a slight pain that only goes away on the second day of my period. Ovulation always happens on days 20-21 of my cycle, and my cycle is 33-35 days long. Today is day 27 of my cycle, meaning a week has passed since ovulation, but I don't feel my breasts at all, just like at the beginning of my cycle. My lower abdomen is pulling a little. What could this be? An anovulatory cycle? A hormonal imbalance? My period is only due in a week. Of course, I'm hoping for pregnancy.

I totally understand you! For me, it was 4 years, and when I got pregnant, I didn't even realize it! My body, the trickster, fooled me! At first, my breasts hurt, then they stopped hurting right before my cycle was due, and they only hurt a little—so I was expecting my period! I went to the bathroom in the evening, and there were two drops of blood on my pantyliner (that's how it usually starts), so I put on a pad and went to bed. But in the morning, it was completely clean! I was so surprised! I knew this could happen with fertilization, but I had given up hope and didn't believe it would ever happen to me! Four days passed, and I still couldn't figure out what was going on! Girls, I'm no stranger to the theory of pregnancy—I've been through seven circles of hell with treatments, and after so many years, you just stop expecting it!!! And it happened when I didn't believe it and couldn't believe it! Even the two lines on the test didn't make me happy—they made me wary! It wasn't until the ultrasound that I believed it had actually happened to me! I wish for you not to wait for it, to forget about it, and for one day to be completely surprised by those two lines!!!!!

I had something like this with a fallopian tube infection—my period was spotting and brown for three days, and I thought I was pregnant!! I took a blood test for hCG, and everything became clear!

I'm in exactly the same situation as you girls! My breasts don't hurt, even though I usually had pain before my period! Now they're a bit enlarged, but they don't hurt at all. I'll wait for my period to come—just one day left! Everything will be decided then!!

Girls, I usually have breast tenderness two weeks before my period too. But this cycle, it's kind of strange—they don't hurt at all! So I'm wondering, maybe my hormones are acting up??

And I also forgot to mention! When I was pregnant, my breasts hurt right after ovulation, just like they usually do before my period! But it ended in a miscarriage.

So, did anything get settled? I just have a similar situation, and my period is still 3 days away...

Hello everyone! I don't want to upset anyone, but sometimes it happens... I've also been planning a pregnancy for six months! And in the last cycle, my breasts started hurting a lot (not like they usually do before my period)! They literally swelled up like balloons! Then, a three-day delay—the first delay in my life!!! The test showed a barely visible second line! I rushed to the doctor! But alas, I heard the word ANOVULATION! That means there was no ovulation in this cycle! And the unusual breast pain and swelling were signs of that! As sad as it sounds, breast pain is something to consider too!

But to everyone hoping to get pregnant soon, I wish you luck in the near future! Psychics say that February is the most favorable month for everyone who has been waiting a long time for a pregnancy! So let's all finally get lucky))))

Hello! I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks. Notably, throughout this entire time, my breasts didn't hurt at all—neither before the missed period nor after. I had no nausea whatsoever. However, during my first pregnancy, I experienced morning sickness, and my breasts started hurting even before the missed period and continued to hurt throughout the pregnancy. In my first pregnancy, my stomach never hurt once in nine months; I didn't even feel any heaviness in my abdomen—I wore heels for nine months and worked right up until the day I gave birth. Even my boss didn't believe I was pregnant when I brought in the sick leave for maternity leave. He said it was probably a joke, even though I work almost in plain sight of him. So, girls, it's all individual. We look for signs—but they might not be there. And whether that's good or not—that's not our question.

You know, during my first pregnancy, my breasts hurt so much that I cried—it was painful even to touch them. But in my second pregnancy, I don’t even remember if they hurt or not. Now, I have a question: we’ve been wanting another baby for half a year already. Usually, 3–5 days before my period, my breasts hurt a bit, but not too much. This month, it happened as usual, but strangely, 15 days after my period, my breasts started hurting again. It’s still far from my next period, and I don’t understand what’s going on. Maybe, just maybe, this is the beginning of pregnancy—I really hope so!

I really want a baby. Usually, my breasts start hurting a week before my period, but they aren't hurting now... I took a test and it was negative... My stomach sometimes aches, and a week ago my lower back hurt a lot... I don't know if I just caught a cold or if I'm pregnant...
