PMS: tits hurting like crazzzzzie

okay, my tits are hurting like FREAKING CRAZY...

i have a question for the sexy ladies out there....

do you BLOAT the SAME time your breasts enlarge and hurt??

im trying to figure out whether i've actually gained some weight or if me just bloating....

and im sure my PMS will come soon, cuz my boobies look like mount fiji. hard and huge

Mine used to do the same thing both right before my period and around ovulation, but since I started with the Minera IUD they seem to hurt randomly.  It's annoying.

The word 'tits' is such a gross word.

Yeah I was thinking you might get more responses if you just say "breasts"... I mean come on we're adults here aren't we?  But for the record mine do the same, most women's do I believe.  It's called PMS.

My breasts get pretty sore for a couple of weeks each month. I've been taking evening primrose oil supplements (which you can get at places like GNC) and that's seemed to have helped with the pain a little bit.

My OBGYN said that drinking a lot of caffeine can be a factor in tender breasts. But, as a graduate student, there are just some things I WON'T do, like give up caffeinated coffee. Puh-leez.

make sure your getting enough calcium. Take a supplement, it helped with my tenderness even when i was on the pill. although you don't want to, going caffeine free really does work!!! I also get tenderness when i eat soy.

Just a thought, are you sure your not pregnant? My breast gave me the first clue.

Ditto to barby on the calcium. With some women, getting enough calcium (1300 mg or 130% DV) before and during menstruation helps a lot with PMS. Unfortunately, some women are pretty much doomed with horrible symptoms. Luckily I'm not one of them. :P

Yes it is likely PMS. When it first occoured I used to think it was my bra causing the pain. It was years befor I leared about bloating. There was not much information easily avilable to young teenagers about health issues back in the 60's.

 me too!! never knew about BLOATING til i became a member of CC!!

 

I switched to a different bc and it fixed the hurty breasts

Caffeine DOES make a difference.  During the totm when my (big) breasts are sore, I cut out the caffeine and it does help with pain.  Other wise I'll be laying in bed asleep and one of my cute little kitties steps on my boob and I scream and sit up like a flash, wanting to catapult the cat, it hurts so much.

Much better now that I learned about caffeine.  I don't think it affects everyone the same, but you might want to see what happens.

 Hmmm... i guess, THANK GOD that im not a caffeine addict nor drink caffeine that much!!! honestly, the hurting boobies thing is kind of all right... it feels nice to tell you the truth (i hope no one bashes me for saying this )

now what im dealing with is bloating.... i dont quite remember, but what i "sort of" remember is that when you bloat only your lower abdomen BLOATS ?!!!!!!!!?????

hope i was just dreaming when i heard that..
