Breast tenderness

kaleidoscope87 · July 2014

Hubby and I are TTC and I was
27 days late with AF when
I started feeling what I thought were my usual pms symptoms, breast tenderness, some cramping but not as intense as usual and then a few days of what seemed like AF followed by 3 days of brown CM/spotting. This ended last Wednesday... My question to you ladies is: had anyone ever experienced breast tenderness and heaviness/ enlargement after AF? Trying to avoid yet another BFN

Just take a test.

I was not asking if you thought I was pregnant. I plan on taking a test, but in case of a BFN I was asking about others experiences since this is out of the ordinary past the first three days of AF. Thanks for the suggestions.

95% certain I'm not KU, but my boobs are super tender. It can be a normal PMS symptom, random hormone fluctuation... anything.

I may be too many drinks in to comprehend this correctly, but your period ended a week ago and you're asking if could be pregnant?

No I'm not asking if I could be pregnant just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and/or knows wtf is up with my boobs.

"I'm not asking if I'm pregnant, I'm just wondering if anyone ever had this before & wound up pregnant"

Hormones. I can't see into your body, but PMS symptoms can change at any time.

Thanks. I know no one can see into my body, trust me I wish I could after 10 years of random cycles.

JFC just take a test. Anyone else's experience has absolutely zero impact on you.

So can you clarify how someone having sore boobs helps you avoid a BFN?

Sorry. Should have apparently left that last bit out and phrased my question differently. No one is psychic or can see into my body to see whats going on to cause this, I simply wanted to ask if anyone else had this sort of breast pain not associated with pms.

Not asking if you're pregnant but asking to "avoid a BFN"...
Much sense, so logic.

Anyways, to answer your question - if that was actually a question - yes, I've had breast tenderness randomly from all sorts of things, hormones, sleeping in a funny position, put my bra on too tight, went jogging, jumped up and down without my good boob-hugging bra on, husband got a little frisky, cat got a little frisky... etc etc etc

27 days late?? No one touched on that??

Missed that. I thought she meant she was on CD 27. OP what Cycle Day are you on right now? Have you reached Cycle Day 60?

I had weird bleeding/spotting/whatever the hell it was last wednesday which was CD 61

Dollars to donuts that was a period. I sincerely doubt you're that late.

Unfortunately it's not super unusual that I go 60+ days. My dr is non reactive about it at this point since all tests and ultrasounds come back with nothing. In his words, "that's just how my body works"

Needed a liner but nothing more.

Lol I've been waiting for the pad answer too.

For now, I'm giving OP the benefit of the doubt since I often miss posts when they come all at once, but a few more times and I'll call shenanigans.

Missed my radar. Sorry ladies, but as I said, it was lighter than usual and then turned to dark CM... Tmi i know

Have you tried temping at all? It would be helpful to know if you were ovulating or experiencing anovulatory cycles.

I've tried temping, then had a kidney infection with a fever for 5 days and wasnt tempting for about 2 weeks since I was so sick. Back on track now for about a week and a half but that wont help me for my last cycle

Have you been able to pinpoint ovulation by temping before?

Once.

You don't need to worry about temping your last cycle. Just stick to it now.

Thanks. Ok ladies I'm off. Thanks for the feedback. I'll try not to be such a freak for my next post

When I was pregnant with my twins(no intervention/medications)I never had any breast tenderness until 22 weeks until they started leaking(tmi)! I swore something was wrong until all my ultrasounds confirmed a healthy pregnancy! And I GD so double the hormones affected my pancreas....just not my boobs! By delivery I was a 36DD from a 32a! Stretch marks galore...but boob soreness means nothing! Also never had a day of morning, which I've heard with twins is uncommon.

27 days "late" and you haven't taken a test? Wow. You really don't want to see a negative. Please take a test. Either you are pregnant and had some random bleeding which happens to about 20% of pregnant women in heir first trimester or you're not and need to see your doctor (not the one that told you having that long a cycle is nothing to worry about).
