How long should breasts hurt before your period?

KD: How long should breasts hurt before your period?
My breasts have been hurting for 6 days now, today is my normal day to start my period. I haven’t started and my breasts have been killing me, especially my nipples. I am wondering if I could be pregnant and if I don’t start by tomorrow, I am going to get a test. Usually my breasts hurt for 5 days, no more and no less. Maybe my body is just changing, but pregnancy is definitely a possibility, just looking to see what other women in their 20s are experiencing in time of breast soreness during pms. Thanks!

Well they usually hurt within a day-2weeks of your period
mine usually hurt 2-3 weeks before my period

It varies for me all the time. Sometimes my breasts hurt for 2 weeks prior to my period. Other times they never hurt at all. They have been hurting me now for the last 3 days and my period is expected within 3 days so it changes all the time. I would say since today isn’t over yet, you shouldn’t consider yourself late just yet. Sometimes even just thinking you are pregnant can make your body miss your period… it has happened to me before and i wasn’t pregnant. So just give it time, relax, and wait and see what happens. Try not to stress over it.

I usually have a little sensitivity in my breasts about a week before my period. I asked my doctor and she says its normal. She stated that you should be concerned when you have pain when you’re not near your period.
