Boobs hurting way more and not pregnant.. Why?

cloudymeatballs · October 2013

I have noticed that my boobs have been hurting a whole lot more lately right after I'm ovulating. I mean, really hurt. It has been this way now for a few months, at first I was thinking maybe I was pregnant, but nope. Tests negative and start when I am supposed to. Strange thing too is that I have noticed my back hurting more and more bloated and gassy?? I don't get it, it didn't feel this way until we started TTC, and now it is every month. I have heard of this when you actually are pregnant, but I am not yet unfortunately. Has anyone ever had this? Its weird to me....

Remind me: how long have you been off BC?

My boobs were uuuuber sore at the end of last cycle before AF arrived. That's not a typical pre-AF symptom for me, but it is for many others. I was also slightly gassier; I'm not typically all that gassy.

@LuckyAngel07 is right. Coming off BCP can do that to you. I know mine were super sore for 2 weeks before AF showed up and I was bloated, gassy, etc. I wasn't pg either. Could be the hormones messing with you and your body adjusting to cycling again.

Sorry... My boobs always hurt RIGHT after I O. And I mean like sore, tender, don't touch me, kind of hurt. This also happen after I came off BCP.

This is very normal for me. post O I had terribly sore boobs and mad cramping

That was always an issue for me in the 2 week window. It was terrible when I was on BC, and got worse when I got off. Don't know why, but the hormones must not have been masked as much.

What helped was wearing a loose sports bra to bed. That way they always had support.

My nips always hurt like hell after I ovulate. Normal.

While all of this is completely normal, if it's not normal for you, it could be a number of things or a combination of a few. Most likely, coming off BC, like PPs have said. I'm also a firm believer in the mind/body connection. I know my body knows how much I want to be pg, so I get a lot of symptoms that I either never got or never noticed before. Not everyone agrees, though.

This. That was always my telltale sign that I ovulated. Sometimes I would get it before AF too but most of the time it would start a few days after I ovulated.

Honestly the longer I've been off all forms of bc, all hormonal changes cause stronger physical symptoms. I never even knew that you could feel ovulation until like 8 months ago. And yes, my boobs are always sore after O.

LuckyAngel07 · October 2013

PS: My boobs just got sore late last night. I didn't mark breast tenderness in my chart last cycle (why? I have no idea) but I seem to recall them starting to feel sore several days before AF (even before the pre-AF spotting).

So yay for continually changing PMS symptoms.

I actually haven't been on BC for like a year and a half. These feelings seem to have just started within like the last few months. My boobs never really had that 'hurt' before my AF like lots of others til now. Its a trip, kind of like my body is psyching me out, like oh you could be pregnant, then bam, AF shows up like 2 weeks later...

This is exactly what's happening with me. I've been off BC since end of June 2012. Just these last 2 cycles, my boobs have started feeling sore about a week after O.

Ok, I don't feel like so much is wrong then.

Mine has been like my last 2 or 3 cycles too. Last time, they hurt BAD! Mine are pretty little too, lol, but it made me think, man I am so glad they aren't huge, I'd be dying!!! Never had much boob pain, not a good feeling...

Yup!! The one time I feel like little boobs are probably a good thing!

@goodwolf. That's my favorite movie ever

@cloudymeatballs progesterone is the answer to your question

lfk2013 · November 2013

Yeah, this thread is not comforting. I'm still on BCP at the moment and they are more sensitive in the middle of my cycle. Then about a week before AF, holy crap...the nips can't be touched. I can't WAIT to see how they feel when I come off BCP in December.

ladybuginl0ve · November 2013

Ever since I came off bc I don't even want DH touching them they're so painful. Poor DH. Lol

lfk2013 · November 2013

Yeah, he's not going to like that. LOL.
