Can Sore nipples be a sign of pregnancy?

I'm about 4 days away from my period, but over the last week or so, my nipples have been overly sensative to the point of being sore, but my breasts aren't. Usually, before my period, my breasts will get sore, but not this time. Just the nipples. Usually, I don't have much feeling in my nipples at all. Usually I'll start cramping as well, but I've not had that either. Could this be sign that I'm pregnant?

I would wait to get your hopes up yet you could just be reacting different to AF then again you could be showing signs of PG it's hard to say because your not late, but you could try on of those early tests and see what happens, but don't get discouraged if the result isn't + you can always test again when you are for surely late LOL and sprinkle,sprinkle!

Thanks for the in-put. I'm due for AF today, but haven't had it yet. I guess we'll see.

Sensitive nipples can be different for everyone. Could be a sign of AF, could be a sign of pregnancy, or it could just mean you need to change your bras (material etc). For myself I didn't even get sore nipples until I was about 2 months pregnant. I'm now 17w3d and I hardly get them at all but I still will on occassion. What gave it away for me was the constant cramping for like 3.5 weeks...2 weeks of that was wait time before I could test but when I did I noticed how the cramping didn't go away yet.


I would wait the 4 days, then add 2 more then take your first test and go from there.


Good Luck
