She needs to see her doctor. It could be a number of different things and no one here is qualified to say what it could or could not be.

I have I actually thought I was pregnant once because of my swollen breasts and I was scared I thought for sure I was pregnant but thankfully I wasn't. Swollen breasts are a factor in pregnancy but they are also a factor in menstrual cycles and taking the pill. I wouldn't worry as long as she is taking the pill she should be fine If it makes you feel better get a home pregnancy test or go to the doctor but I think she'll be okay

I know for me, My breasts get swollen and sore always a week before I start my period and stay that way until the 3rd day of actually being on my period. It's due to the hormone change per month causing water retention. If you're girlfriend is not even close to starting her period, it could be something as simple as a change in diet. But if the soreness doesn't go away at all, she should see a doctor because it could be due to a hormonal change or imbalance, medications she's taking and/or her birth control pills.

She's pregnant. Only way to know for sure is to go to the doctor's.

Probably down to hormonal changes, either due to birth control pills (most likely if they're unusually sore) or because she's about to start her period.

I will get swelling and tenderness in just one breast shortly before my menstrual cycle.

Ahhh exactly how did you come to that decision with just a sypton of tender breasts? I get tender breasts before each period, does this mean I'm pregnant every month?
