Do you get sore boobs before AF?

MrsCrys · January 2009

AF is due today and my boobs hurt like a mf-er. I haven't had a "normal" period since I went on BCP about 5 years ago, but I don't think my boobs ever hurt, and they didn't hurt last month (my first month off BCP)

I had given up pretty much, I'm 14DPO with a BFN yesterday, and now my stupid boobs have my muck boots and pole all ready to go.

Mine didn't used to, but over the course of the past year, it started happening. They hurt like a mofo and get all swollen.

elizjane26 · January 2009

I do, but I've heard they hurt a lot worse when you are actually pregnant. GL.

Kismet21 · January 2009

I do. And one time they hurt so bad I was "sure" I was PG...not so.

GL to you! ?

My boobs grow from a D to a DD the week before AF every cycle. They do get sore, but I have been use to it for a while.

traceandrob · January 2009

Not really common for me. About 3 cycles ago they were killing me. Random thing I guess.

Becky19 · January 2009

no but I don't really have any symptoms of AF, other than temp drop.

aggiebride07 · January 2009

Yup...mine do!

michelleh0385 · January 2009

Mine do before AF as well.... another sign that goes either way Confused

MrsStephM · January 2009

I don't ever (well, I'll get a random twinge or two sometimes). I always think that if I even actually get pregnant, I would know it if I had sore boobs!

You're lucky!

MrsCrys · January 2009

MrsSteph that's me too, never ever had sore boobs except when I went on BCP (mimics pregnancy right?) so I always felt like I would know if I got sore boobs.

Which sucks because the me that's floating above me is tsk-tsking down at me right now for fishing so hard.

sauma790 · January 2009

I never got sore boods before, during or after af.

Mrs.Husband · January 2009

I never had sore boobs (pre-BCP, on BCP or in the last year off BCP) until last cycle. I was certain I was pregnant, but nope! I just had a random AF symptom last month. Hated it! They were so sore; I couldn't even sleep on my belly (preferred sleep position) for about a week. I'm hoping that is an AF symptom that never rears her ugly head again (unless I'm pregnant, of course!

).

It's okay, we forgive you!

heathercara · January 2009

I get major sore boobs with O, but not with AF. In fact, that's one of the reasons I knew that it was AF this month and not PG, no sore boobs, since I hear they hurt like hell when you are KU. Figure it will be a good sign for me!

Sorry I am late to the party.

MrsCrys · January 2009

lmao!! I look just like that, only hotter. Wink

wlknsnlrn · January 2009

Mine do sometimes. They hurt so bad that I don't want to even wear a bra

Lizard2022 · January 2009

My boobs hurt so much right now.

I'm trying to decide if I'm imagining it or not. They usualy get sore and swollen before AF, but this seems ridiculous. I'm a 36DD and I'm popping out of my bra.

$Shoegirl$ · January 2009

yes they were always a little tender before AF but once I stopped bcp it was even worst!

Redrose101307 · January 2009

they always hurt after i O until AF

MrsStephM · January 2009

I don't blame you for fishing MrsCrys--I'd be doing the same thing if my boobs hurt! Although it sounds like it can just be a random thing as well, so there goes my theory!

lumbride · January 2009

I don't usually.

MissMcCauley · January 2009

Yeah mine are usually sore before AF - last cycle I was 18dpo and then got AF, so some cycles you end up a few days late for no reason. GL

lj smith · January 2009

Yes it's a very common PMS symptom.

high_hopes · January 2009

Mine are usually a little tender, but for the past three days I can't even bump them without it hurting like a mofo!

AJflowers · January 2009

Mine never used to, but a couple cycles ago they did (thought I might be pg) and this time they are, but...not usually.

Since we're sharing cup sizes, I go between 32-DD/34-D (supposed to be almost the same) and I swear they're swollen, spilling over got the double boob going, naw mean? DH says no, they look the same.

nikinikinine · January 2009

my boobs hurt pretty much all the time. I have fibrocystic breast tissue which basically means my breast tissue is really dense and I have a lot of heaviness in general. The sides tend to be more sore than any other part of my boob. But it's so bad that I sleep with a bra on because it helps with the pain.
