Very sensitive erect nipples 4 days. What could be the cause

No-one seems to have found an answer? I know I'm not pregnant, i'm 19, and having the same problems - erect and sore nipples, it's been going on for almost a week now. Does anyone know of any way to help it? Other than just saying, "you might be pregnant"?

im 18 and had the exact same symptoms of really hard sore nipples. i read this yesterday then took a test and it came back positive so yeah i would definatly just take a test if u have the symptoms just to be sure.

Just because your nipples are extra sensitive, does not always mean you are pregnant, however this is a possibility. For those of you that are sexually active, extra breast play involving licking and sucking can stimulate the nerves in your breasts and cause them to become extra sensitive, more often between the first and second week following your period. Also extra sensitivity can occur around 14-18 days after your period due to ovulation. For the 14 y/o, the human body is in a state of constant change, specially for you at this age, with the constant rise and decrease of your hormone levels, and you not being sexually active, this is pretty common, although everyone matures differently.

As far as those of you that are worried about pregnancy, yes this is a high possibility, although does not mean you are pregnant, remember, it takes up to 2 weeks after sex to even conceive a baby, and the first symptoms although very faint, will not show up for at least 2-4 weeks. These symptoms can include, but are not limited to, Nausia, Feeling like you have to pee (even if you just went) sensitive breasts (more in the nipples, the breasts will begin to get painful more around the second tri mester), food cravings, and let us not forget the mood swings!

If you suspect you may be pregnant, you can do a home pregnancy test, I would suggest waiting for 2 weeks after your missed period, and do the test early in the morning, when you first wake up to use the bathroom. The hormone level in the urine will be at the highest concentration durring this time. *** Also, if you have a period, and you are still having sensitivity, take a test 2 weeks after your period, ( Some women can continue having a period 1, 2, even all 9 months of there pregnancy!)

I hope this helped all of you, and if you continue to have this problem, contact your Primary Care Doctor, or your OBGYN as soon as possible to discuss the problem further.

I can't believe this. I'm 19 too!

I hope I'm not pregnant, I have had implanon in since July. Just noticed it a week ago in the shower, and they are sensitive to the touch.

I don't know anything about it just being part of my cycle, I don't get a period on my BC.

so im 20 and im very turned on and always havin sex but since the last two weeks my nips have been very very very hard.. dont know and my tits feels very heavy... help me

I am also 19 years old, but not sexually active. They hurt in my bra, despite wearing different styles of bras all week, and sleeping braless at night. Has anyone found an answer?

I am a 50 year old and going through menopause, and having the same sensitivty with my nipples. Sorry no answer here, but maybe changes in your life can be the reason.

ive been having the same symptoms for the fast 4 or 5 days, and im not sure why either. the post about marijuana made sense to me since ive been smoking regularly for the past few weekends, so i hope its just that and not a pregnancy. did u ever find out what it was?

i am 20 and am sexually active and mine feel the same way...its either cuz of pregnacy or ur growing cuz that tends 2 happen when ur partner grabs u there causing them 2 stretch making them grow but if ur not experiencing the growth and r nausious after eating i would recommend a pregnacy test 

I am not quite 19 and have had the same problem for awhile also. i have had regular periods and i am sexually active. i wasnt on birth control the week after my period so i dont think it was that. sometimes i get nauseaus in the mornings before breakfast but i always thought it was because of waking up much earlier then normal.  i havent taken a test because i want to see if there were any other possibilities before taking it. i dont smoke weed so thats also not a possibility

no news here that im also 19. and this has never happened b4. theyr ONLY a bit sensitive a day or 2 b4 my period. and its been about a week. and 3wks after unprotected sex. its so bad, it hurts to lay on my tummy, i have to hold them

19, same problem as well. Don't like the sore feeling so bad. :( Could anyone fill me in? Thanks a whole lot

I'm about to turn 21, and I've only just recently (within the last week) been experiencing this problem. Except, it's only ONE of my nipples, and I'm super confused. I'm a virgin, so I'm pretty sure for me that pregnancy is most definitely NOT the problem.

Does anyone think it could be because this is will be my first period since I was 15 where I've been off the pill? I think I read somewhere that this could be related to PMS - which I've never experienced before - so I'm hoping this is the only problem and it will go away soon. I keep bumping it in the shower and it's really quite sore.

I'm 19 too, not sexually active, and having the same symptoms... 

haahahhahahahahhahaha this is hilarious!! i tweeted this sh*t! I've found I love my hypersensitive nipples too haha
