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

[shortgreengiraffe]

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.

Yes. I definitely did. And with my first, when I had no reason to suspect I was pregnant my boobs just felt “different” and I caught sight of them and the thought “I’m pregnant” came right to mind.

Yes. I also had cramps and bloating. I was as sure as anything my period would come any second, right until I turned over that positive test

Thanks @Isadora2007 and @ReggeatonLente so it was a sign of AF and BFP? I am into my second year TTC, this month took clomid for the first time, used conceive plus, BD'd loads - so I have been really hopeful but somewhat clutching at straws I think.

Def a sign of AF for me, and was also the case with DD1 before I got the BFP. Didn’t have this symptom at all with DD2 though!

I got sore boobs before bfp but I don't get them before af that's how I knew

Yes, I felt very similar with both.

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.

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!

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.

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

A million fingers crossed for you OP.

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!).

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

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

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.

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!

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

@LovePinaColada

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

A TWW false hoper here @shortgreengiraffe - are you in the TWW now? I am one day in!

@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.

My fingers are crossed for you! 🤞

And you @LovePinaColada

And you @LovePinaColada

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!

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.
