Lactation as early sign of pregnancy??

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!

@Prembabymum I'm so tempted to test but trying to hold out!

I can't see anything on the stick but I feel like I can see a really faint line on the plastic one!

Prembabymum · 22/05/2018 20:27

Im sure I can see something!!

Eeek fx are you going to test again tomorrow? When is af due again?

Prembabymum · 26/05/2018 13:00

How are you getting on @sprinkle? I'm not due on wed so going to test again then. Still having loads of symptoms but likely all in my head. Last frer (yesterday) was a bfn.

Fx for you @Prembabymum

I was due on wed/thurs...no sign of af as of yet! However I resisted the urge to test and tested this morning at 16/17dpo bfn, I feel like I may see a slight shadow of a light but that may have been out of the time limit & I thought I saw one last month but it wasn't.

Not sure what is going on, still having some symptoms unless in my head. Only saving grace is I've never been late for a period before in regular as clockwork but I didn't feel o this month but did feel a sensation I've never felt before around ovaries after when I thought I'd ovulated so I may have ovulated late I guess Sad

I'm sorry to hear that @Prembabymum, possibly but to be honest I have no idea what's going on.
