Breast change

[mose1989]

Hi there! I was just wondering if anyone has the same experience during PMS, or if I could potentially be pregnant. I've noticed that my breasts are feeling heavier and bigger the week leading up to my period, and that my nipples almost look more puffy. I don't normally track my own PMS symptoms which is why I am a bit worried I could be pregnant (I am by no means trying for a baby). I had protected sex during ovulation but have no other early symptoms of pregnancy. I am quite health conscious, meaning I over worry and stress about these kinds of things. Thank you!

PMS symptoms are often very similar to early pregnancy symptoms, which is why women who are trying can sometimes drive themselves crazy hoping the PMS is pregnancy hormones (been there, got the t-shirt!)!

The only way to know is to take a pregnancy test.

I definitely experience this the week before my period, it's a definite symptom of PMS but can also be a symptom of pregnancy. If you haven't had unprotected sex then you should be ok but obviously if your period is late then do a test.

Thank you for the reply! Honestly the similarity it so annoying, which is why I'm so stressed out! Planning to do an early detection test tomorrow just to ease my mind or confirm my worries!
