Patient's question:
Breast tenderness, lower abdominal pain, and a faint pain in the lower body—should I be expecting my period or pregnant? My period arrived on the 15th, and I had intercourse on days 8-13 of this month, sometimes using condoms and sometimes practicing withdrawal. Yet, my period hasn’t arrived yet, but the breast tenderness has persisted for several days. Last month, my period came 5 days early, and it was usually quite regular. Could this mean I’m about to get my period or that I might be pregnant? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
