Sore Breasts!

Hello All
I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions (besides possible pregnancy) that my breasts would be sore? They actually feel as if they are ready to fall off.
My last period was 1/16 and ended 1/21. A few nights ago, I woke up to go to the bathroom and I practically had to hold them as I walked (no bra to bed) cuz they hurt. I went back to bed and they still were sore when I woke up. I am not large (34 a/b) and they did feel less sore as the day went on but were sore again when I woke up the next day. They don't hurt as much now but kinda feel tender right along the underwire bra. It's not just one boob but both? Any ideas? Any suggestions?

I'm 25 and in the past year my boobs have gone from a 10B to a 10DD and they hurt about a week before my period and it looks like I have had my boobs done I wasnt sure why they were growing but the only thing I could think of is that I left my boyfriend to be with someone I just connected with and he has made me so much happier Because my boobs just started growing after we got together and we do have a lot of sex too I still feel like they might grow more couldn't find much information about it but I'm not on the pill or anything.

Hi - I've done a lot of reading about this subject having suffered severely sore breasts before, during and long after my menstrual cycle for almost 18 months now. I spoke to a Natural Health consultant and was told that this was primarily due to lack to estrogen and to try eating LIQUORICE. I bought a thick strip and within 24 hours, I was completely out of pain. Try and find one that doesn't have too high a sugar content - Liquorice promotes the production of estrogen NATURALLY in the body. Don't overdose on it - just a strip or 2 per day until the symptoms subside. Would love to hear any feedback. TRUST ME, this worked for me, I hope it works for you.

So I had my period last month. And that was the first time my boobs had been sore on the sides before my period. Now I am due for my period anyday and the sides of my boobs hurt again. I've had no other pregnancy signs though. Does this mean I'm pregnant?
