Breast Symtoms

[VALERIA]

My last LMP began on November 26.
I am due to begin my next one soon, about December 23.
I did feel myself ovulate about a week and a half ago, with those light weird cramps or pains, that last a couple of hours or a day, on and off.
Husband and I always used the withdrawal method, my question is that the last week my breasts seem to be growing more swollen and tender, if a pregnancy is happening, isn't it way too early to be experiencing symtoms, when just a few days away before the next period to be starting?
I know pre menstrual symtoms can be just like that as well.

yes pre mental symptoms can be just like a pregnancy symptoms and I belive that you don't feel symptoms or have symptoms until you are about 2 to 4 weeks pregnant I started at 2weeks and my breast hurt and when I smoked I gaged I couldn't smoke anymore and It made me quit all together but one of the first symptoms are no period and sore breast wait until you skip your period and take a test or get a first response test suppose to show up 4days sooner.

Everyone experiences the symptoms at different times.  I felt breast soreness well before I knew I was pregnant.  With my first child, I couldn't lay on my stomach or wear my normal bra before I was due to start my period.  Other people experience the symptoms later.  Do you normally have these symptoms right before a period?

Kck, I felt mine with all my pregnancies well before I was due for a period too. Thats one sign that I knew I was pregnant because it rarely hurts before I start I mean I have only had breast pain with a few of my cycles.
They say some women experience it before the HCG is even released. It all depends on your body because everyone is different.

I have always had mild breast tenderness just before and during my periods, but the breast tenderness I felt when I was pregnant but didn't know yet was just a bit different.  Sometimes they would be so tender that just to bump them would be very painful.  Othertimes, I would feel as though there was no room for my arms to hang down at my sides because they felt swollen, too.
