Why do I have soar breasts?

Question

My main complaint is that I have had soar breasts for 9 days straight. I have never had soar breasts before. It began in the nipples and then the soreness spread out. It was really uncomfortable the first week, but now it's more like a sense of "streaming" tension throughout the whole breasts. The symptoms are equal in each breast, but varies which one hurts more at a given time.

Also, for 8 days the big veins in my breasts have been very apparent, for 3 days I suddenly have very apparent stretch marks and for 2 days the little veins are very clear as well.

The first day of my last period was October 11th. Then 7 days ago I had slight vaginal bleeding, light pink in color, and it only came in the toilet paper, not my panties. The next day there was nothing and the next two days I had slight brownish blood in my panties. Yesterday I thought I started my period and I was really pissed off because it was five days early. It was fresh blood, but then it was just a little bit and now just very, very little brownish stuff again.

I took a pregnancy test yesterday, because I thought all of this was weird and my friends suggested it, and it came out negative. I'm not supposed to start my period until Sunday the 9th of November, so it could be a false result, but since I'm bleeding already, although little, I doubt that is the reason.

The breast soreness eased a little bit yesterday and today it's the same, but it's still soar and uncomfortable. I read somewhere that breast soreness could be related to cancer, but since the symptoms are identical in both breasts I don't think that's it.

A friend of mine says my breast symptoms are identical to hers when she got pregnant (and she got them five days after conception) and because I've also been emotional she thought I was pregnant until I got my "period" (if that's what it was) and the pregnancy test came out negative yesterday. I'm willing to believe that there might be some kind of hormonal overflow, but now it is unlikely that it's pregnancy that causes it.

I've also been extremely tired for five days, ready to faint from tiredness in the evening.

Is this something I should be worried about and have checked out? What could be a possible reason for this?

Sounds to me like you are pregnant. But I would still make an appointment with your regular Dr. How long has it been since you had a regular physical? Just make an appointment and go see your Dr. You'll feel better knowing their answer and that's what their job is in the first place.

Breast soreness is common in young women, but it becomes less common as they get older.
Breast pain may be constant, or come and go over time. Pain that won't go away or frequently comes back should be discussed with a doctor.

Common causes:
Hormonal changes associated with the menstrual cycle.
Retaining water, which often happens during the menstrual cycle.
An injury or damage to the breast.
Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
An infection in the breast.
Breast cancer, although this is a rare cause of breast pain.

That sounds like it is normal to me.
I have had breast tenderness before my period even starts so that's not unsual.
Periods tend to jump around...sometimes they'll be early, sometimes late. If you want to get them to be more regular then ask your doctor for birth control. It really helps.
It is most likely that your hormones are acting up...which they usually do around the time of your period.
Nothing to worry about.

Sore breasts can be a sign of pregnancy, or 'Liver Qi Stagnation' associated with PMS.
