Hi Shery - When both breasts are sore, this is nearly always a hormonal issue; your moodiness points to this, too. Soreness isn't generally a breast cancer symptom, and it would be very rare indeed to have symptoms of breast cancer in btoh breasts at once, so please don't worry about that. You may still be pregnant - not all pregnancy tests are accurate, esp. those you give yourself at home. I'd suggest you see a doctor, describe your symptoms, and go from there. Good luck - hope you feel better soon. PJH
