What Causes Swollen Breasts, Cramps And Brown Spotting With Negative HPT Result?
My breasts are extremely swollen. I had bad cramps for a couple of days then they stopped. I thought my period started today but nothing on tampon except a little brown blood. I m tired. I took a pregnancy test but it said negative. What is going on

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Swelling and pain of the breasts, abdominal cramps, can occur before or during a period.
Since your period is due, it is possible that the symptoms are related to this.
Pregnancy can also cause these symptoms. If the pregnancy test was done 11 to 14 days after possible conception then it is accurate, if it was done before this time, then it should be repeated.
I hope this helps
