tender breasts?

Sorry I am not sure where to look to find this out but, what does it feel like to have tender breasts when you are pregnant? and how long after you conceive do they start to feel tender? I think might have tender breasts, but I don't know because I have never had them before, even before my period. I sorta feel pregnant, but it could just be my imagination wanting me to be.
thanks heaps :-)

Pregnancy symptoms do not typically start until 4-6 weeks pregnant (after your period is missed).

Tender breasts are very sensitive to the touch. Its hard to describe but any number of things can cause it, including an impending period.

If your last period was odd then I would go ahead and consider testing again. It is possible that coupled with the cramping that you may be having an early misscarriage.
Hope things work out.

Or, it was implantation spotting, and the cramping is normal. I had cramping quite early on with my son.

Could tender breasts be an early sign? As in, what if someone has not missed their period yet, but have extremely tender breasts (more tender than normally right before their period).

yes but also as someone else just posted tender breasts can just be a sign of PMS or an impending period.

I rarely get tender breasts but this past period I had VERY tender breasts to the point that even my bra hurt yet my period showed up exactly as scheduled. So its hard to say definately that its going to be a sign for me that tender breasts are a sign of pregancy. Obviously this is anecdotal but it certainly shows the variability.
