    You should be happy.  I will my menses would stop. My menses is so heavy to the point that my hemoglobin drops low to the point of blood transfusion.  Sore Breast happens with most women it has to do with diet intake.

      Yes mam I am aware of these horrible feelings: every month on my menses I get short of breath, palpaitation, can not walk up steps, eathing ice.  I wish my period would stop for a few months.  I cant enjoy life as much anymore.  since your menses stopped have your hemoglobin gotten better?

      so you gave up one thing and inherited another symptom: soreness in Breast.  I think you can probably wear a tighter bra to contain the soreness?

    Hi Lindy you could be in the menopause. If you haven't had one by next April you will be in the menopause. You won't know until you've missed a whole year.

    I did ache a bit and my breasts were more sore and felt fuller.

    Hope this helps.
