Boobs stopped being sore after ovulation...not pregnant?

Hi all,
My boobs have been sore since ovulation (about a week ago) but this morning I woke up and they are no longer sore. Would this mean I'm not pregnant? I thought they would stay sore due to progesterone so presuming I'm not now as they've stopped 😢
Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences please x

Hi, you only actually get pregnancy symptoms (due to hcg) when the egg has been implanted (6-12DPO)

premom.com/blogs/hormone-tracking/the-hormonal-relationship-between-lh-pdg-and-hcg

This link explains really well (with graphs) how the hormones change if you are pregnant or not

Best of luck/ I’m on cycle 3 it messes with your head!!!

Ovulation can make your boobs sore. Just because they've stopped hurting now doesn't mean you're not pregnant though, I had no symptoms until I was 5 weeks pregnant. The only thing you can do is wait.

Good luck! My fingers are crossed for you x

Hi @Beatrice900,

I read that sore boobs is a sign of ovulation. I would say try not to overanalyse but, I did the exact same every month when TTC and roamed every forum I could find for answers so, I understand. It's hard to be patient but, like Tabbycat said, the only way to find out is to wait it out and test.

P.S. I had no symptoms whatsoever for the first month or so, apart from a slightly wider behind!

Good luck xx

Thank you. I know, it's just silly but can't stop thinking about it and analysing everything!

Didn't want to read & run but I'm afraid I have no advice, mine weren't sore at at any time during pregnancy.
Try not to overthink it, wait it out & take a test!
