Breast Tenderness

[rghkah38]

I'm on CD22 and I am having breast tenderness.  They have been feeling this way since Monday which was 6 days ago.  My cycles normally last 28 to 30 days.  Can you have breast tenderness from ovulation?  I'm not on any progestrone due to the doctors telling me that I can't start back up until the end of this month.

Yes, I get tender breasts every month, and I've only been on progesterone supplements once.  And yes, the tenderness usually lasts until AF arrives. I will say, though, that on femara, my breasts were more sore than normal. I'm assuming that's because it made me ovulate more than one egg, so the progesterone in my body was higher.

So tender breasts is normal for me in the 2WW...but if it's not normal for you, it could definitely be a good sign!!!

Usually that happens when I'm on progestrone, but I haven't been on progestrone for a while now.  Actually I'm not taking anything except for my prenatals.  Did your BB's ever hurt after ovulation when you didn't take anything?  If so did it last unil af showed up?

[Heather5]

I get tender BBs every month right after ovulation. It's from the progesterone your body makes after O...so no need to be worried. However, the two times I got pregnant, my BBs gradually got much more sore than normal, and sure enough, BFP.

Best of luck! I hope you get a BFP within the next week or so!

This is not making any sense to me and it kind of worries me because I started hurtig on CD17.  Isn't that a little early to feel BB soreness?  The time frame from when DH and I had sex does not make sense either.  I am on CD24 and I'm still sore.  I really hope nothing else is going on. I'm making myself scared now.

I took a pregnancy test on Friday and today and both of them came out negative, so my guess is that I'm not going to be pregnant this month.  I know I'm only on CD23, but I thought I would see something, but there was not even a hint of a line.    My BB have been sore since CD17 and I don't understand it.  I only had sore BB when I was on progestrone and estace.  The only thing I've been on since July is Prenatals.  What's going on?    What else can this be from?

I really hope that is a good sign for you, because it was always a bad one for me. I have heard many women say that sore breast is their number one pregnancy symptom.  Last year when I finally got pregnant with my son it was the only month my breast did not hurt and I was on progestrone, so that was weird in itself.

I really really hope that this is the opposite for you. I am not really sore if your breast could be sore from ovulation, I guess it could be with the change of hormones.  

CD22 your getting close to the end. Good luck and I hope you get your BFP.
