Is my breast discomfort from a fibroid cyst or could I be pregnant?
Question: Is my breast discomfort from a fibroid cyst or could I be pregnant?
I ovulated on November 13th, had sex that night with my husband and he withdrew. 4 days later, both of my breasts began to feel heavy and tender. On November 20th, I noticed that my left breast was larger than my right breast and also much more tender. I felt around and noticed a mass in my breast.
I went to a nurse practitioner today, and she did a breast exam and said she thought I had a fibroid cyst and that I probably wasn’t pregnant. I asked her why then did I have tenderness in both of my breasts, since this is abnormal for me. She said it was just hormones.
I am too early to take a home pregnancy test yet. I’ll have to wait about one more week. But does anyone have any insight as to why both my breasts would be tender all of the sudden and why this all just came about this month?

BTW, I believe the nurse when she says I probably have a fibroid cyst. I just don’t
The nurse practitioner scheduled me for an ultra-sound on my breast to see what’s going on. But I can’t get in until the end of the month.
She didn’t want to do a blood test b/c she said the labs would be closed for the holidays anyways. I don’t know.

during menstration your beast may feel more tender. you could be pregnant but only the test will tell. And while at the the Doctors office with your visit to the NP why did you not have them give you a blood HCG test to see if you were pregnant. also did you schedule a mamogram to see if you have a cyst.
