Why do breasts hurt before your period?
Just before your period is the time of the highest level of estrogen, which is the primary female hormone. Estrogen regulates the female reproductive system. Breasts become fuller under the influence of estrogen. It is a way of preparing the body for a possible pregnancy to allow the female breasts to produce milk. Progesterone is also a female hormone necessary for pregnancy. If the female becomes pregnant then progesterone becomes elevated and estrogen lessensn. Progestrone means pro-for and gesterone-gestation is a word for pregnancy.
Right before your period, hormones are at a high in your body. (When they drop, that's when you get your period.) During this high and when the hormone level drop, it causes breast tissue in many girls to become very sensitive. When the tissue and muscle is more sensitive, little things you normally wouldn't notice (like bumping into someone, for example) can hurt a lot more.

What does having a menstrual period mean?
Answer
Each month, an egg is released from one of the ovaries. If this egg is fertilised by sperm, it becomes a fetus and implants into the uterus (womb) lining which has built up over the past month. If it is not fertilised, it starts to degrade, along with the thickened lining of the uterus, which begins to detach from the uterus wall. The egg and lining both need to leave the body, which is what is happening during your period. As the lining detaches, blood vessels rupture and this is why there is bleeding.
Answer
It means your body is cycling through the normal period of readying itself for a fertilized egg and then sloughing off the uterine lining when no fertlized egg is present. This monthly time of bleeding is referred to as having your period.
