Hi,

I just finished my cycle which came on time but not as heavy as usual it normally last 36 hours I have been sick and on medication and over the counter medications for sinus infection I get the usual systems bloating cramping and breast tenderness that goes away when I get my cycle but this time my breast are so tender and nipples hurt and are erected. Is this normal?

Changes in your menstrual symptoms are normal and you will experience them throughout your life. It is normal for some women to experience extreme breast tenderness, swelling, and hard nipples. It's just your hormones.

definately normal

breast tenderness is always one of my symptoms. Mine were so tender this last week it even hurt to wear a bra. Even my hubby noticed they had become a bit swollen. I laughed and said yea I have to go through PMS to have the boobs I want. He just laughed. Yes they will hurt. Its best to wear tanks under your shirts if you can or go braless when you can and don't lay on your stomach when sleeping. Oh and definately don't run talk about ouch. that always is uncomfortable for me during pms. shoot even when I'd wake up in the morning and get out of bed they'd hurt. Their's nothing to be alarmed about it's just part of PMS. I kind of like it to some extent cause it does make my boobs look bigger for a few days. Then when I start and go through my period you can almost see them go back to normal. its strange how these things happen.
