Ouch! My Boobs!

Anewton1787

Hi ladies!  I'm new to this whole TTC thing and I have no idea what any of these acronyms mean! (sorry)! 

My boobs are KILLING me!!

here's the back story...I came off of my birth control pills about a month ago.  Since then (2-3 weeks after stopping the BC) my nipples have been killing me!! occasionally my whole boob hurts, but man! My nipples!! They are also almost always in that half-hard state, too!  I've had some other symptoms that are identical to both coming off of the pill and early pregnancy (constipation, moodiness...). 

Thoughts? Any insight will be helpful :-)

Take a pregnancy test if you think you might be pregnant, I guess.

I have very tender breasts due to fibrocystic disease and have even had a lump removed. They get quite painful sometimes.

This is my first cycle off the pills too, but my nipples feel normal. The biggest thing I've noticed is how much freaking CM I have going on down there! It's ridiculous!

Point is, we're all different, and our bodies will react differently to changes. Sounds like your body is adjusting. Just hang in there.

I have a ton of "strange" CM too!! and crazy, vivid dreams! I took a pregnancy test last weekend and it was negative (as I figured because I still have over a week until I'm due for my period)...I guess I'll just wait it out.  I think I'm just looking to see what everyone else experiences as early pregnancy symptoms vs. coming off the pill symptoms. 

Also, the past two days I've gotten really nauseous driving to work...pregnancy or "yucky belly" from the antibiotic I'm on??  This TTC thing has so many factors :-)

What do you mean strange CM? Is it radioactive or something? I don't understand.

Lotion?

Here are my thoughts.

Either:
1) You want to be pregnant very badly, so you are secretly hoping that any of these symptoms (which could be symptoms of PMS) could mean you're pregnant.
2) You're actually pregnant.

My advice?  Take a test.

Take another test false negatives are very common best way to know is a blood test but even so if your hcg levels aren't high enough it might not be detected as for sore breast Ive always found that a nice warm bath is a great way for the pain to go away I don't understand why some people on here are so rude it's obvious your seeking advice good luck and don't stress it'll happen in time

Holy run-on sentence. Also, how is suggesting taking a pregnancy test considered rude? I think it's pretty useful advice.
