I don't have breast pain before my period. I'm pregnant.

Does breast pain before menstruation mean I’m pregnant? This is a question that many women often ask the editor, because some women are not very familiar with the symptoms of early pregnancy, and often think that they are pregnant, but after examination it turns out that they are not pregnant. Today, I will give you a detailed introduction, hoping it will be of some help.

Is it true that I am pregnant if I don’t have breast pain before my period?

Many women experience breast swelling, hardening, and tenderness before their period. In severe cases, the breasts will swell and become uncomfortable when subjected to even the slightest vibration or impact. This is because the body's estrogen level increases before menstruation, causing breast hyperplasia and edema of breast tissue.

Breast pain during pregnancy is caused by changes in female hormones. From the moment the sperm and egg combine with the uterus, the endocrine system of the woman's body begins to change. Among them, one of the most obvious signs is breast sensitivity and pain. It is caused by the increase of female hormones in the pregnant woman's body. This feeling of distension and pain is very similar to what women feel before their period, but it is more obvious. Therefore, if you don’t have breast pain before your period, it doesn’t mean you are pregnant.

Symptoms of early pregnancy

1. Amenorrhea: It is the most obvious symptom. If you have sex without any contraceptive method and your period has not come on time for 2 weeks, and you still haven't had your period for more than 5-7 days, you should consider the possibility of pregnancy.

2. Breast enlargement and sensitivity: This feeling of swelling and pain is very similar to the feeling before your period, but it is more obvious. These pregnancy symptoms will improve significantly after the third month of your pregnancy, and your body will have adapted to the changes in male hormones during pregnancy by then.

3. More sensitive to smells: You may not be able to tolerate the smell of cooking fumes or tea, and some aromas will make you feel nauseous. These pregnancy signs may be caused by your body's rapidly increasing levels of estrogen.

4. Fatigue: Rapidly increasing levels of progesterone (also called "corpus luteum") may cause sudden mental fatigue and even fatigue.

5. A small amount of vaginal bleeding: Some women will experience a small amount of vaginal bleeding around the 11th to 12th day after pregnancy. This type of vaginal bleeding may be caused by the fusion of sperm and egg and the embedding of the blood-rich uterine wall, which begins 6 days after fertilization.

6. Abdominal bloating: The changes in male hormones in the early stages of pregnancy may cause abdominal bloating.

After reading the editor's introduction, I hope everyone has a certain understanding of the symptoms of early pregnancy. Generally speaking, one to two weeks after ovulation and intercourse, you can use early pregnancy test strips or blood HCG tests to determine whether you are pregnant, and the blood HCG test is more accurate, so if the above symptoms occur, why not use the method introduced by the editor to test for pregnancy.
