If you get sore boobs before AF, did you get sore boobs before your BFP?

I know sore boobs are a sign of AF. I know they are a sign of a BFP. Just wondering if anyone got both?

I always get sore boobs before AF - anything from 12 to 3 days before it starts with feeling 'full' then then they get painful at the sides then all over to the point where if anyone so much as breathes near me I can feel it. So this is a clear sign of AF for me.

I've been TTC for over 2 years and always regard the boobs as a sign I am out. But also know they could be a sign of a BFP. So basically wondering whether if you get sore AF boobs did you also get sore BFP boobs?

Sorry for TMI. Thanks in advance.

Always get sore boobs before AF, but they were even more painful before my BFP and also much more swollen than I'd ever had with AF.

I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks 3 days on the 22nd of December, I did a test 10dpo as I've been having cramps back ache and funny feelings in my belly button. Came back BFN, I'm now 12dpo due on my period in 2 days but i havent had sore boobs??

Amazing! Congrats @BarryTheKestrel!

Definitely don't give up hope OP. Got my BFP this morning! Turns out the sore boobs were a symptom.

Fruitcocktail6 · 01/02/2018 21:12

Yes I got very sore boobs and belly cramping. Even wore a pad in to work as I was convinced AF would suddenly start during a meeting.

don't give up hope OP. I would have been ttc three years this coming May but I got a BFP last month Smile fingers crossed nothing goes wrong.

BarryTheKestrel · 01/02/2018 21:06

I never get sore boobs before AF but they've been really sore this week. AF due tomorrow. Wondering if this may be BFP month. Here's hoping.

Yep I had sore boobs, bloating, cramping. I was convinced I was about to get my period and I bought some pads and tampons that didn’t end up getting used as I was pregnant!

@LovePinaColada

Yes, due Saturday. It's my first month on clomid and was getting lots of sex in and not drinking so was particularly hopeful.

@LovePinaColada

Thanks, I wish I had asked the question ages ago. Although I suppose it would have just given me more TWW false hope.

Interesting thread @shortgreengiraffe / I get the same as you & good to know it could also be a BFP sign! Good luck!

thepatchworkcat · 30/01/2018 18:21

Yes I get sore boobs for a few days before my period and the same thing happened before I got my BFP. I was convinced I wasn’t pregnant because I felt exactly like I do when my period’s coming.

Good luck!

Thank you all for sharing your hormonal boob experiences. Here's hoping one day I get to find out which side of the BFP Boob Fence I sit on.

Always used to get sore boobs before AF, they were hideously sore before my first BFP, with second BFP they weren't sore at all; you never can tell!
Good luck OP

HoldTightPretendItsAPlan · 30/01/2018 16:31

My boobs get uncomfortable before AF but they were agony before I got BFP.

Paranormalbouquet · 30/01/2018 16:26

I get terribly sore breasts before my period (starts just after ovulation). Didn’t when I was pregnant with DD, with early miscarriage 1 or early miscarriage 2. In December I assumed I was out as had sore breasts but got BFP anyway (unfortunately MMC but doubt that’s related!).

ReggaetonLente · 30/01/2018 16:23

A million fingers crossed for you OP.

Thanks everyone. I am in definite sore boob territory today (AF due Saturday). Sad

Yes and No, first pregnancy they were really sore, but it ended in a MMC.

Second pregnancy no pain at all, and everything was fine.

I don't always get sore boobs before my period, probably about 50% of the time.

gamerpigeon · 30/01/2018 09:12

I had sore boobs but the main difference was that I could suddenly see lots of veins in my boobs before my BFP. DH reckoned that was standard but I've checked now I've had my baby and it definitely isn't!

BBQsAreSooooOverrated · 30/01/2018 09:12

I have soreness before af and before my bfps. The soreness was much worse before bfp though, couldn't even bare the shower on them.

ReggaetonLente · 30/01/2018 09:08

Yes, I felt very similar with both.
