Ouch my boobs are killing me!

Haha sorry ladies too much information maybe...

AF due around thursday this week although not EXACTLY sure as I only came off the pill in december so not quite regular yet.

Had a week of feeling SOOOOO bloated every day and serious cramps which has now passed.... and been replaced today by BOOB PAIN FROM HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive POAS twice in the last week... I KNOW YOU DONT HAVE TO TELL ME ITS PROBABLY TOO EARLY TO TELL ANYWAY! I was being silly and weak.... both negative.

Maybe the breast tenderness now is because AF is on the way? Probably. But still... ouch! Never had symptoms like this however I have been on the pill for 10 years up until recently so I guess this is what its like to have real cycles and real PMT!?

I dunno.

Obviously I'm really hoping AF wont come at all and that I will POAS next week and get a BFP!

Could the bloating and cramps last week AND the breast tenderness and pain in lower tummy/back be early pregnancy signs?

I definitely dont feel right! Ughhh. Its hard being female!

I've got sore boobs too, my face has broken out in spots and I've had these weird period type cramps and lots of ovary aches and lower back ache.

Are we pregnant? (God I bloody hope so lol) All the signs are there!

Aaaaargh!

My period is due 26th.

Fingers crossed for both of us! xxx

Ahhhh! GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And to me... lol!

This has been my first real month of ttc to it would be a huge surprise and quite frankly a miracle if i was pregnant.. we didnt even really dtd that much... but obviously it only takes one time! haha!

I dont even truly know when my period is due... thats the most annoying thing. First REAL period after coming off the pill was on Jan 25th to Jan 29th.... so I'm assuming (based on a 28 day cycle) that AS will come end of this week. However... whos to say my cycle will be 28 days!!?!!?! Arrrgh!

In a way I'm hoping AF comes SOON so that I can get it over and done with and start really going for it (dtd dtd dtd dtd) in march! BUT.... maybe I will get a BFP next week!?
MAYBE YOU WILL TOOO! x

We've been trying for a year, we though we had the correct dates using ovulation charts.. but they were wrong!

We've started using the Clearblue Ovulation Kits and it pinpoints your 2 best days which turned out to be 4 days earlier than we thought! [shocked]

My periods change by a day or 3 each month so I don't know exactly what day I'm due on, it's 26th-29th.

Oh I hope we do! Time is dragging...... xx

Thank you thank you thank you for starting this Fred!
It's exactly how I'm feeling and was working myself up about it, ha!
That's all really.

Furrybiscuit · 21/02/2013 19:26

OP, I've been in the exact same position! Came off the pill in December after 10 years. Turns out that sore boobs for about 14 days is just part of a normal cycle for me (had AF twice since coming off, one 35 days and one 31 days). Suppose was just a bit of a shock, as u say, with not having had this PMS type symptoms for so many years.

Saying that tho, just cos that's how it is for me doesn't mean it's the same for u!! So fx for u

Interesting interesting!
Well... AF due yesterday for me but that's based on a 28 day cycle which I don't think is really correct for me.

Would love to be pregnant already but don't really think that's likely to be honest.

Want AF to come so I can start getting a more realistic picture of my cycles...

But... My boobs are still killing me! Aggggggh.

I know it's getting a big annoying really!!!!!

Never in my life have I really wanted my period to JUST ARRIVE!

Of course, there's a minuscule chance of pregnancy which would be amazing but... No...I'm sure AF is coming... Just slowly!

Ooo thank you for starting this thread. I'm feeling the boob pain this month after coming off the pill (microgynon) in January. My nipples have been raw at times during this month and last night I tried to sleep on my front but couldn't as my boobies were so painful.

As we're not properly TTC until April, I'm thinking this is all related to just coming off the pill, but we DTD unprotected on 16th. Just the 1 time mind but I've been tracking on an iPhone app and it was around the time of ovulation. I got EWCM this month too. So, I'm secretly hoping that the mega sore boobs could ever so possibly mean we got really lucky.

I've had cramps too, and have been googling like mad.

Ooo let's hope the boob soreness means BFP for us all

gillian1986 · 24/02/2013 12:25

Well it wasnt a BFP for me! AF came yesterday!
So... I think my boob soreness was a sign of AF coming!

Ah well.. want AF to g o away now so we can get down to business x

OP posts:

honey86 · 24/02/2013 12:32

Meemawandmoonpie · 01/03/2013 09:07

The return of the dreaded AF for me too! After 15 years on the pill I've gone straight back into a bog standard, run of the mill 28 day cycle.. Suppose that's good?
Back to symptom spotting I go... Such fun !!!

SassySask · 01/03/2013 14:21

First month TTC really and got all these signs, am really scared to do a test though, it all seems so much serious when you pee on the little stick
