Lactation as early sign of pregnancy??

[Prembabymum]

So I am currently ttc #2 and today is day 8 po (although I'm basing this on instinct and knowing my own body as my app says I ovulated later. My cycles can vary from 23 days to 34 days so I've learned to spot the signs instead!) I've had lots of symptoms; bloating, cramps, fatigue, increased appetite, discharge etc but Ive had all of these before in my last 2ww when I was pregnant with ds. However in the last 2 days I've had a weird one; my boobs have been sore, tingly and I keep feeling like I'm having a 'let-down' like I did when I was breastfeeding! I stopped lactating 7 months ago and haven't had this feeling since! It first happened in the shower and I couldn't tell if I actually produced anything. It happened again in the middle of the night last night, but my boobs were dry then, and finally it happened really strongly when I was holding my friend's tiny baby today and she started to cry; i felt like I was going to leak through my top but luckily nothing came out!
I did a FRER this morning - bfn, but I think it's too early to test.
Anyone had this happen?? Surely it's got to be an early sign of pregnancy!! This didn't happen when I conceived ds though!

I'm not sure I'm afraid but wanted to say good luck! I'm ttc first. Maybe it is and because your body has done t before it's remembering? I don't know but fx for you!

Thanks for the reply @sprinkle I think you might be right tbh! Good luck to you too! When can you test?

Generally it means your prolactin is high which will stop you from becoming pregnant. If you aren't, go to your gp at the start of the next cycle as this may be something they can help.

Thanks @Prembabymum I'm not entirely sure of o date but I think I'm about 9dpo, af due around Thursday time but I'm so tempted to test tomorrow even though I know it's likely way too early!!

Ah, thats good to know! This is cycle 1 for us so no idea if it will be easy or hard this time; took 2 cycles for ds. Is that linked to the thyroid?

@sprinkle if you can wait it's always best to; clearly I don't practice what I preach though!
I think its maybe too much of a coincidences that I'm having these symptoms at this time; going to make sure it's not pregnancy first befor looking into other possibilities.

Aw I know I'm only on cycle 2 and I stocked up on pg tests last time so just have them here waiting to be used ha

Prolactin is not linked though thyroid as far as I know. I believe it's a relatively simple fix if that is the issue, but you need a blood test from your gp to find out.

Yesterday's frer just in case

Darn! Wont let me load the pic!

Do you see a line @Prembabymum

I couldn't resist and tested this morn at I think 10dpo can't really tell this month as didn't feel o as usual not surprising really it was a bfn

Didn't test today but this was yesterday's. Will test again tomorrow prob. You're not out yet!

I feel like I can see a really really faint line, what do you think?

I thought I could too but I get really bad line eyes! Will wait a bit longer if I can...

These were today's BFNS :( dont want to waste my last frer until I can def get an accurate result. I'm still only 10 days po

@Prembabymum they look like mine yesterday at 10dpo :-( fx for both of us though! Af due in a few days for me so I guess I will know one way or another shortly, I'm going to try and not yest before due but you know how hard it is!

May have gone mad but I've been analysing these all day!!

May have gone mad but I've been analysing these all day!!

@Prembabymum is the plastic one the stick from before? I thought I could see a faint line on that one in normal colour but see it less on these versions

Also, how do you do this?? I need something else to help my addiction.

It's the photoshop app; the free one. Yeah, I need to get a grip tbh!

Still waiting; latest symptoms are now veiny boobs, waking up in the middle of the night starving and needing to eat, continuous cramps and now very weapy! Hope I get a bfp or I've no idea what's going on!

@Prembabymum they sound like good symptoms so fx!

I'm not really having anything :-( I keep getting very hot flushes and I'm just generally very warm but I did feel unwell over weekend and it is warm where I live currently so prob that. Bbs were slightly sore last night but nothing major. Grain pain yesterday but gone now. I did resist urge to test this morning and going to try and wait until af due

Groin*

Have you taken another test today yet? I stopped bf 10 months ago and still produce a drop of milk if I give my nipple a squeeze. Not sure if it's a sign of early pregnancy but the body does amazing things to confound us sometimes

Didn't test today; trying to wait until the result will be accurate. Its so hard though!! This is the first time this has happened since I stopped bfing so I really hope it means something!!
