OvuloomWhat Is It?
Breast tenderness, swelling, and sensitivity are among the earliest signs of pregnancy, often appearing 1-2 weeks after conception. Hormonal changes — particularly rising hCG and progesterone — cause increased blood flow and tissue changes in the breasts.
Common Causes
Early pregnancy (rising hCG/progesterone), PMS (cyclical breast pain), hormonal birth control, fibrocystic breast changes, caffeine sensitivity, perimenopause, or breastfeeding.
⚠️ When to See a Doctor
If you feel a new lump, if there's nipple discharge (not related to pregnancy/breastfeeding), if pain is severe and doesn't follow your cycle, or if you notice skin changes on the breast.
💡 Tips & Management
Wear a supportive, well-fitting bra. Reduce caffeine intake. Apply warm or cool compresses. Track breast tenderness timing in Ovuloom — cyclical patterns suggest PMS, while persistent tenderness may indicate pregnancy.
