Extreme Breast Tenderness! HELP!

I am POSSIBLY 5 days late for my period (I have an irregular cycle 28-35 days), and I was completely thrown off by my ovulation symptoms this month, so there is definitely a week difference in which I ovulated. Anyhow, within the past couple days I have begun to have intense breast tenderness, soreness, PAIN, whatever you want to call it, and they have definitely become a lot fuller. Today is the worst by far. I usually have breast tenderness before my period, but not to this extent. I put a sports bra on because I needed the extra support, but the tightness of it made them a little more painful, that's how sensitive they are. There is a tingling sensation too. Has anyone else experienced this? Is pregnancy breast tenderness different from pregnancy breast tenderness?

Sorry, that last line didn't make sense..I meant, is pregnancy breast tenderness different from Pre-Menstrual breast tenderness pain. Thanks!

Yes it is more intense as the days go on!!! I usually get tingley nipples and tender breasts the day before or on the first day of my period, but when I'm pregnant (this is my 5th pregnancy and 4th baby) I get it days before I am even due (or maybe I'm just used to the feeling by now LOL!) and I do a test before I'm even due which usually comes up +++ ! So if I were you and these are unusual symptoms for you DO A TEST - I wouldn't be surprised if it comes up +++ too!!! Keep us posted!

yes, it is a major difference. my breast tenderness before my menstrual it barely even noticeable, but its a possibility that i could be pregnant, and my breast were extremely sore for all last a week straight, i had to remove my bra occassionally jus for sum type of relief. that pain went away on sunday night. im not expecting my menstrual until next week though so i hope that helps.....
