Question about breasts?

So bear with me, I'm not horribly down with your lingo, so I'm putting this in layman's terms: I had my period on Feb 2.  I was laying down to sleep tonight, and started FREAKING because my chest feels heavy.  I got up and went to check my Facebook (I'm sort of a hypochondriac so I know better than to call 911 right away...plus I JUST had my heart checked and it's fine and healthy).  When I stood up, it felt a LOT better.  Now I'm sitting sort of slumped, and it hurts again, but lower.  Just now, I tried lifting up one of my breasts and the pain went away on that side.  Then I thought about it: my nipples have been protruding all day (and I have small nipples and big areolas, so they don't normally), and due to my experimentation, I know that the heavy feeling was caused by my breasts!  Is this another ovulation thing?  It should also be noted that I've been feeling flu-ey, but have already gotten the one that's going around and gotten over it (and you can't get the same strain of the flu twice as it's a virus).  Plus, no fever, sore throat, congestion, etc.  Just sort of blah and feeling motion sick when I usually never do.  But the breast thing...I mean, how many changes can my normal cycle have randomly all of a sudden just because I'm TTC?  My cycle lately has been approx. 22 days...so...???  

PS-sorry about all the dumb questions.  But most of you guys have actual experience, as opposed to just googling "my boobs feel like they weigh 10 lbs".  Thanks for all your help, so much!

congrats. I understand about the hypochondriac part. The only problem I have with my symptoms I didn't think they existed with ttc or if it was implantation that happened, that I have the symptoms after reading them

I have never had that happen, but since I started ttc I have had sore breasts, throbbing breasts and I could have sworn some times they were swollen, but never heavy. At this point any strange occurance I have with my body I blame on mother nature playing with my head since I am ttc. Some of your symptoms do sound hopeful. Good luck to you this month.
