Possible pregnancy/lump in breast

[Emma1]

Hey ladies. I have a question. I took a pregnancy test 1 week ago this past Sunday(was due to start AF on Tues.) Both came back positive. On thursday I started bleeding. I thought this was just my period and chaulked it up to a faulty test(false positive). I had my yearly check up yesterday and explained all this to my OB. She also found a lump(very small) in my breast. She said she thought I had a very early miscarriage and now I have to have a mammogram.

Has anyone ever heard of having lumps like that if you were preggo? She said she thought it was from being pregnant (although it was very early). I have to wait and see what my HCG levels are before they will do a mammogram. Any thoughts?

Lumps in the breasts happen alot in pregnancy. They're swollen glands usually, but they can sometimes be cysts. Sorry to hear about the possible miscarrage. :-(

I am sorry for what you are going through.  However,
1. dont give up on your pregnancy, you may not be miscarrying
2. dont ignore a lump in your breast because it "may" be from being pregnant

Any time your breasts feel different to you or your doctor, you need to have it checked.  Mammos are not 100% so always do self checks.  You know better than anyone else how your breast feel.  Good luck.

You definitely need to have the lump checked but........I wouldn't worry too much.  My best friend got a lump in her breast right before she took her hpt to find a BFP!  We have a mutual friend that is an OB/GYN nurse and that woman told my friend to take the test because she knew that lumps are common.
