Tender breasts before period?

About two months ago I started getting tender breasts (and a tad swollen) about two days before my period starts. Once my period starts the pain goes away. This is the third month in a row. Is this normal or should I go to the doctor?

Also, I am not taking any type of medicine and I am 100% sure I am not pregnant unless Jesus is coming.

    This is normal. It might happen every month or it might happen just some months. Periods can be so unpredictable when it comes to the monthly symptoms, even when the timing of your periods are predictable. I had periods from the age of 12 until the age of 48 when I had a hysterectomy. The one thing I can tell you for sure is that your periods will change throughout your life. The timing will change sometimes. The symptoms before and during will change sometimes.

    The one basic thing to remember is that if you have a really bad period or a really strange symptom during a period, write it down and keep track. If something really bad or strange happens two or three months in a row, that means you should see a doctor. If pain is ever severe, that means you should see a doctor right away.

    This is usually because before ur actually menstruating your body is doing its own process the entire month and its probably just your boobs growing so dont be worried! Hormones are crazy leading up to your period!!
