The Poll of Sore Boobies

[northrncwgrl]

I had an IUD for 3 years and always got sore bb's a week before AF. When I did not have an IUD I NEVER got sore bb's. Now I have had 2 MC's in a row, and both times I had really sore bb's before I found out I was pregnant. Now we're waiting to TTC, but not really going out of our way to prevent. And I O'd early again this month, and 2 days after, my bb's are getting incredibly painful again! I almost couldn't do my daily run last night because they hurt so much.

My main question is - when do you normally get sore bb's, if at all? I've heard of women getting them around ovulation, but that's never happened to me. You????????

Yes waiting to see is all we can do! Would be interesting though, as SO would pretty much have superman sperm....lol sorry.....

well it sounds like you could be pregnant with your bb's being sore way before af is do to arrive about two weeks . well lets just see if there still sore sometime next week :)

I'm like NikiNoo. They don't ever really get sore or painful or tender. Sorry I can't be of anymore help!

Mine hurt so back....I already have DD's and they feel heavy then when I lift or DH lifts them for support it's so painful.  They literally feel that they are both 20 lbs each.  Now I know they are not but that's how it really feels.

[northrncwgrl]

Oh well I hope that isn't an indicator for you Mumita! Seeing that your pregnancy ended in miscarriage (so sorry!), maybe it's a good sign that they're not sore yet? I know I felt every symptom in the book when I had a miscarriage, wondered if maybe that was a bad sign!

Before I got pregnant the first time bbs always got sore a few days before AF.  When I got pregnant they were SOOO SORE!  Then I had a mc and day of my mc they stopped hurting.  The first cycle after mc they did not hurt AT ALL and now i'm in the 2ww and they don't hurt....the sore BBS was my first indicator so I don't know...

Thanks msgorgeous and agomez.....too bad we didn't have some standard to follow! That's where I'm thrown off though - my af wouldn't be due till around the 24th....it's only the 8th and they already feel crazy sore!

[agomez333]

I always get ore bb's before af arrives. When I get prego they are not only sore, but seem fuller and heavier. Again everyone is different.  Good luck!!

[msgorgeous]

i get sorer bbs a few days b4 af is due to arrive but not the last two months??? no idea why. but like you said every woman is differant

[northrncwgrl]

Thanks ladies!

Nikinoo - that made me laugh! haha

Laura - I know! I've always been the same! Hmmmm....I just don't trust my body.

Avanaar - That sounds similar to me as well. No, I haven't gone out of my way to prevent TTC, but we sort of avoided around that time. O'ing early didn't help though! I wasn't expecting to O till this weekend! It's hard when I've pretty much put everything out of my mind - part of me wants to wait a good while, and of course another part doesn't want to wait (hence not REALLY trying to prevent) - but then having bb's that hurt when I even THINK about them doesn't help! *sigh* back to analyzing......ahhhhhh! lol

Guess we're all just that much different hey? :)

I never remember having sore breasts when I ovulated or when I was about to get my period (tho I really never tracked my ovulation, so who knows!).  But when I got pregnant the first time in Nov, my boobies hurt like a **********.  lol  Hubby was *sure* I was pregnant, even tho I just kept telling him it was probably my body getting used to being off birth control (I'd stopped the patch at the end of Oct).

With this pregnancy, they didn't hurt nearly as much, but they've been constantly achy (mostly now just my nips).  

I know you've had two MC's and are still grieving over both your losses, but hubby and I did something similar after our MC in Jan.  Every month we'd try to avoid sex during my ovulation window ...it worked in Feb and Mar ...April, not so much.  If we'd really wanted to prevent a pregnancy we would have used condoms or gotten me back on b.c.  

I do hope if it happens for you again that this one's a sticky one!!  Let us know how things go and if your sore boobies are indeed a sign there's a baby on board!

I NEVER had sore bb's until pregnant..

That was my first sign... Ouch!

[NikiNoo]

I don't at all during my monthly cycle, or pregnancy. Not in fact until there's a baby here sucking on them, then they're SORE!!! :-)
