Breast pain/tenderness - Menopause Message Board

My last period was either Oct or Nov '07 - most months just before my period would come I would have sore/tender breasts and once my period arrived they would be fine again, which was fine.
Now my question is - I have the sore/tender breasts with about 3/4 weeks but no sign of a period............Has anybody had this happen - the sore breasts but no period? I am beginning to wonder is it something that is wrong with my breasts or should I be worried? Would love to hear if any of you have this problem.

Hi,
Last winter my breasts were sore and very tender for at least 3 months, no period and constant pain. I see a breast specialist for my mamo, who is also a woman, and she told me its normal and to believe her it will get better. She was right it get go away so i'd say not to worry.

Oh, thank you so much for your reply.

It's just anytime I had the breast tenderness before was just before a period and then they were fine when it arrived. Now it has been almost a year since I had a period and my breasts are sore - about 5 weeks now and no period (thank god for that tho!) It is always good to hear somebody else has had this happen. Of course I get worried with every new symptom I get..........thanks again

Just to let you know I got my period on last Tuesday - after all that time - I really thought I was finished with it. At least my breasts are ok again but so disappointed that my period arrived again....oh, it could be worse i guess

I've had a lot of this over the years and began taking Vitex--a natural progesterone in capsule form that can be found in organic/alternative medicine stores--and it has made a 100% difference. I used to take it twice a day, then went to once a day...then whenever I remembered...hahaha...regardless, the sore breasts NEVER returned. <removed> Don't suffer like that. I wish I'd known 5 years before someone talked about it on here and saved myself the pain.
