 What Does Delayed Period Along With Breast Pain Indicate? 

Hey, so I have been pregnant before and remember what it felt like. I had sex 3 days after my last period, nowhere close to my ovulation time. My breasts have been hurting but no other symptoms of pregnancy. My period is due in 5 days but today I had some pink blood in my undies... what could be going on?

Hello dear
Understand your concern.
I think it is due to hormonal imbalance as a part of premenstrual syndrome.
Wait for few more days, period will come if you are not pregnant or any other abnormality.
I think chance of pregnancy is less but you can check up after 5 days.

Other Cause of delayed period may be:
Excessive stress, sudden change in life style, endometriosis, adenomyosis, thyroid abnormalities, excessive alcohol and caffeine, PCOS.

Following are the cause of breast tenderness:
Most common-Hormonal imbalance : High /lack of estrogen and progesterone. Breast cyst, Breast trauma, Breast size, Excessive stress, Alcohol and caffeine use

You can do following test if it persists:
1. Hormonal profile: LH, FSH, Prolactin, Estrogen, progesterone
2. Mammography
3. USG
4. Endometrial biopsy

You can following advice
1. Life style changes
- 30 min regular walk
- Wear supportive pad bra
- use of Ice pack
- Relaxation excercise: breathing technique
- Low fat diet
- High fiber intake
- Decreased salt intake
- Multivitamin intake
- Reduce alcohol and caffine

3. Gentle massage with prime rose oil
4. Acupuncture therapy

Hope this may help you.
Best regards
