Can Swollen And Tender Breast Be Pregnancy Symptoms?

I began my period on 6/20 or 6/21 and it was uncharacteristically short. I have swelling and tender breasts, which only happens right before I start my period. It s too soon to a PMS because it s only 7/6 but the pregnancy test I took said it was negative. My husband and I attempted conception before, during, and after my period. Could I possibly be pregnant now and already showing symptoms although the test is currently negative?

Hi there, I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

1 ) First of all do not panic.

2 ) You are hardly in the middle of the cycle. It is too early to expect pregnancy symptoms and get urine test reports positive.

3 ) I will suggest you to wait patiently till yoyr expected date of cycle in the month of July.
If you happen to cross your dates, then please get morning's first sample of urine tested for pregnancy pregnancy. In case of doubt blood beta HCG test and USG will be of help.

4 ) For my patients who are planning to get pregnant, I suggested the following -
Please opt for a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen. Include more portions of fruits, salads and vegetables in daily diet. Drink plenty of water in the day. Avoid deep fried foods, bakery products products and refined sugars. Avoid substance abuse if any. Start on Folic acid, Vitamin B 12 and Omega 3 supplements at least 3 months before you plan to get pregnant. This helps to protect your pregnancy and avoid various complications during pregnancy and delivery of the baby.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks.
