Pregnant?

I am 38 and trying to get pregnant. It is 20 days since my last period and my breasts are a little sore.  Do you only have this when you are close to starting your period or could it be from being pregnant?

I'm 35 and 4 weeks pregnant with my first child. I usually noticed sore breasts before period but this is much more pronounced. It was the first thing I noticed.

Tender breasts were always my first indication of pregnancy. I am 39 and currently 19 weeks pregnant. I had a positive HPT 2 days before my missed period (used the First Response Early Results pregnancy test). Good luck!

I would wait until 19 past ovulation or 7 days late. You dont want a false negstive. also, i would have blood test verses hpt.

You could be pregnant or maybe not. I personally never had tender breast.

Right now, it's probably too early to take a pregnancy test, you can only wait. Good luck!

It could be from both!  Take a HPT about 2 weeks after possible conception.

i had tender breast when I was first pregnant. I also get them right before my period, so I mistook my breast tenderness for me peiod but found out a couple of weeks later I was actually pregnant.
