Allie's right, it's probably the progesterone...whether natural or a supplement. After ovulation, the follicle that contained the egg starts producing progesterone, and this can often cause tender breasts.

My BBs would always get sore after ovulation, but in a medicated cycle, they would be even more sore than normal (even though I was not on progesterone supplements), because I had more than one follicle release, and that usually increases your body's progesterone levels as well.

Best of luck this month!

Hi there-ARe you taking progesterone?  After all of my IUI's my bbs were sore from that.  Hope that helps?

I also had my first IUI last saturday. The only thing I felt was a little cramp after few hours of the procedure, but nothing else. Sorry not be able to help much.
