my nipples hurt

My nipples usually never get hard unless I get cold, but lately the very tips have been getting hard really easily and they are much more red than the rest of my nipple. They also hurt. Could I have cancer or be pregnant?

I would look into it. I know for me the older I get the more tender my nipples get. It is odd. When I first started noticing it I thought the very same as you. You can do a self check to see if there are any lumps on your breast. There is great information on how to check online.
