Is Pain In Breasts A Sign Of Pregnancy?

Posted on Thu, 18 Feb 2016

Question: Hi, last week I had doubts whether I was pregnant since my breasts would hurt so I had asked a doctor here if I was and they told me it was just PMS but should take a pregnancy test just in case and so I did in the morning and it came back negative and so yesterday I got my period with bad cramps and it was right on time from my last time because its every 23 days but I took a look at the pregnancy test again and theres a super faint second line. Am I pregnant or is it a false positive?

Repeat test advised.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
Second line is very faint and period is already started so chances of pregnancy is not there, so most likely false positive.
But repeat your pregnancy test from morning sample.
Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck.

Hi again, I tried the water trick on the test stick to see if it was maybe an evaporation line and it washed off and the stronger line remained intact. So should I still retest?
