Could this be breast cancer?
- Thread starter Moso
- Start date
Some women get sore spots in their breasts before their menstrual period. Symptoms can vary or change from period to period and can also change with age so that may explain why you've never had this before. The cramping may also be caused by PMS or your period.
Im on the second week of white pills on my birth control so my period isn't near
Ok. I did change pills earlier this year and Im on the third pack, so it could still be my body getting used to the pills
It's very likely that that's what it is. If you're not sure, you should check with the doctor who prescribed the birth control.

Only if the dosage was increased though. If the dosage was increased... you can bet it's the birth control but if not.... she should go see a gynecologist for answers.
That's true, I was assuming the dose had been increased or she had started a new brand of birth control. Forgive me if I've been mistaken- I only know a little about female reproductive health.
The original poster should probably see a gynecologist regardless, because if there is a problem with her birth control, it should be addressed as such.

How about plain old trapped wind? I get trapped wind and I can feel pain in very odd areas somewhere or another in my torso. Lay down flat on your belly for twenty minutes and if it is trapped wind, it will release after about twenty minutes. Look at your diet and see if there were similar windy foods that you may have eaten.
For anyway, if it carries on or happens again, I would go and have a chat with a doctor.
I don't think the dosage was increased, but I'm not sure. I was having really bad mood swings so she switched me to another brand. And the sensation stopped today and Im not in pain now. I did make an app with my university health center to look at the moles I made the first post about and I'll mention this to her

I'm sorry if I sounded like a bitch. I'mean on a very dark place right now. Thank giving is coming up and that's hard for me because I know that I won't be able to go to thanksgiving dinner because of my anxiety. I have mentioned before about my inability to travel more than 10 miles from my home and my in-law's live about 80 miles from my home. I know that if I go... I will be extremely anxious the while time and now I have that fear of the fear that we always talk about here. I do think know if I can take it but, on the other hand. .. if I don't my self esteem will be shattered for not being able to do the simplest thing . .go have thanksgiving dinner with my family. Isn't that sad? And pathetic? I feel so ashamed of myself this time of year. Sure there are medications to combat this but, I don't want to be asleep the whole time or worst... act crazy because or the medication. What do I do ?
You didn't sound like a bitch at all, and I wasn't yelling at you, I'm sorry if I came across too harsh
I'm so sorry you're going through this. Sending hugs.
You're not pathetic and you shouldn't feel ashamed of yourself. Anxiety is an illness and a disability, not a choice. You didn't choose to have anxiety so nobody should be blaming you for feeling this way.
Do you think you could talk to your husband about what to do about Thanksgiving? I think he would understand and he would probably be able to be helpful. The answer isn't always medication so hopefully the two of you can come up with a feasible solution together.
And if worse comes to worse, you can spend Thanksgiving on here talking with us
We'll be able to offer support, kindness, and guidance, even though we can't be there in person.I'm freaking out about Thanksgiving too to be honest because that's when I'm getting married. I'm panicking! The holidays are a difficult time for most of us.

We don't have Thanksgiving in the UK but we do have a harvest festival which is when we give thanks for all God has given us. We would go to church and take food with us which the church would make up into baskets and take around to the old folk in the community but we wouldn't have a meal to celebrate.
For us it is Christmas. I've been feeling a bit low about that lately. I'll be on my own again. I think it's sad how my life has turned out. With no children, no husband and no family to even see. They are all too busy and will see others rather than me. That hurts so much but I will still make the most of it.
Instead of thinking negative about that day, I will make a feast of a dinner and share it with those wonderful souls that would be upset if they were not with me that day. Even though they don't understand it. Yes, you've guessed it. My two dogs will have pressies wrapped up for them and get a plate of roast dinner. Even a pig in a blanket on their plates.
@Concernedgal if you can't make it to see your in-laws on Thanksgiving, then the one thing you should do is forgive yourself. You cannot help your condition. If you choose to travel, perhaps your doctor can prescribe a pill to help you to sleep or relax on the journey? I wish you luck and wonder what you will do. My heart goes out to you because I know how you feel.
An idea for next year maybe, to invite your in-laws to your house for Thanksgiving.

You didn't sound Harsh at all. I just reread my post and sounded like I was being a bitch. Then again.... I feel major insecurity this time of year.
I wasn't offended, so try not to be so hard on yourself
I understand that you're going through a difficult time. We're here for you.

I know that you know how I feel and that's what makes a bad situation. .. not a devastating one. Before I came here... it was the loneliness that hurt the most. I'm so very glad that you guys are here for me. I am going to need you guys more than usual this year. Love you guys.

Yes, I agree with you wholeheartedly. The support on here is amazing. I like to come on here even if I'm feeling okay and give support to others. Giving support helps us to realise that we are not alone. Our feelings may be unique to our situations but we are not alone in suffering it. I'm glad coming on here is helping you.
