This may seem stupid to ask because I've had 3 children, but my husband and I split up a couple of weeks ago and now I'm wondering. I am exactly 14 days away from my next period, but my breasts started swelling yesterday, which seems too early for me. Some sites say that when ovulating your breasts can swell. I didn't get a caffine withdraw yesterday that I always get when I go over 24 hours without caffine. I also got a cold sore the other day, which is right about the time of ovulation. Some of the blogs I've read say that they got cold sores when they were pregnant. I know swollen breasts can occur when ovulating, but what about that and cold sores? Does anyone have any knowledge or advice on this? Please help. I'm so heartbroken and wonder if the stress is causing early symptoms of menstruation (or could it be pregnancy).
