Sorta panicky question (poss TMI) UPDATE

I just found a lump in my breast. I'm fairly sure it wasn't there before but I'm in the middle of my period. Does anyone know if you can get a breast check done during a period or does the tissue change? Is it better to wait til I'm finished? Thanks

Dont panic!Easy to say I know!Id usually say wait until your period is finished but for peace of mind Id go to the GP.They will prob tell you to wait til after your period aswell but you will probably feel better!

Afaik you Have to wait till a certain time of your cycle-not during period. But there's no harm ringing doc to check. Hope you're ok. Btw I think your breasts are more lumpy during period. Thinking of you x

Definitely don't panic. Theres so many things it could be. I definitely find my boobs are tender and hard and lumpy before and during period so this could be a strong possibility. Hormones are a b*tch. Go to the doctor to get checked out but definitely don't panic.

Thanks folks, I'm sitting here crying like a sap (I'm blaming that on hormones too). I'm sure it's nothing but I was just on to the surgery there, I have to wait til a week after :(

Good but try not to worry!

Trying hard, it's just annoying to find it now and be able to do nothing for two weeks.

Firstly DO NOT PANIC, I have just been through all the checking and biopsys etc. I never once had a heart fluttering moment or loss of sleep over it. Go to you GP and ask him/her to book you into the breast clinic in Beamont, your apt will take about 2 months. I went and had a scan and they found more then the lump that I knew about and they did a biopsy on another area, everything thankfully was fine. I honestly didn't even loose a wink of sleep then night before I got my results, there is no point in letting panic set in.

Castaway- it takes 2 months to get an appointment?? Is this not supposed to be one of those things that you're supposed to take care of asap? I'm a little wigged over the two week wait at the moment. I know logically there's no point to worrying it's just hard to keep it out of mind.

Hi there, I too have been in your situation twice. I think the fact that you've just noticed the lump, probably means that it is to do with you time of month. As it wasn't there before iykwim. Both my lumps were there ages before I'd the courage to get them checked. But saying that, get it checked. I've had two fibroidanomas, they are benign lumps and totally harmless. It's more than likely that or a cyst. I know it's very worrying but just get to the gp and get referral to Beaumont breast clinic. You can always go private if you are overly worried. I'm sure it's nothing chick xx
