Mere nipples are super sore since few days and my period is due soon. Cant tell if its just PMS or could be something more. Anyone able to tell the difference between the two?
Ugh, I had such sore nipples right before my missed period and kept wondering the same thing! It turned out to be my very first pregnancy symptom. Did you also notice any other symptoms like mild cramping or feeling extra tired?
It is so hard to tell the difference because the progesterone hormone causes the exact same soreness in both scenarios. Please try to be very gentle with yourself during this anxious waiting period. Sending you a lot of warmth, and I hope you get the result you are wishing for very soon.
In my experience, pregnancy nipple soreness feels a bit more intense and lasts longer than the usual pre-period pain. When I got pregnant, even the touch of my clothes felt uncomfortable. Try wearing a soft cotton bra to ease the discomfort while you wait to take a test.
Nipple pain is a classic symptom of hormonal changes, which happen in both cases. My doctor told me that tracking thyroid and hormone levels regularly is very helpful if your cycles are irregular. The best way to be sure is to wait for your period date and take a home test.
I felt the exact same nipple pain and was convinced my period was coming, but then my date got missed! It was such a beautiful, emotional surprise when the test came positive. I highly recommend waiting a couple of days after your missed date to take a proper test.
