Cyclic breast pain?

Hi everyone, im new to this is please excuse if any of my abbeviations are off.
I came off the depo injection in october 2019 thinking in a year or 2 I might be ready to TTC so thought it would be best to come off early as it might take a while to get fertility back however was very surprised to get a period in December 2019. Prior to this I had really bad breast pain and once I got my period it resolved.
I havent officialy TTC but havent used contraception either so theres always the possibility of conception which secretly im happy with.
Its been 3 weeks since my last period and today ive started with breast pain again. Im unsure of how long my cycle is due to being on depo for 10 years and only having 1 period since coming off but im going to assume its a 28 day cycle just so i can "keep an eye"
My question is can you get cyclic breast pain mid cycle even if you have technically conceived? Ive DTD unprotected around the 14 day cycle part so im unsure whether this pain im having now is a early way of saying my period is coming or whether you can still get this pain but end up being pregnant too?

Hey! You can have breast pain from either pms or pregnancy, it is common in both for some people. I get it every month about a week or so before my period. Hope that helps :)

Hi, I hope it is a pregnancy symptom for you but just wanted to add that I got horrendous breast pain at various points in my cycle after stopping depo. It lasted about 8 month and sometimes was so bad I had to sleep in a sports bra. I still get some sensitivity just before AF but I definitely blame the depo for the random pain!

I get it for a week before my period. Every month. They also seem bigger. It's happened ever since I came off the progesterone only pill. So it could just be PMS symptoms. People do get it as a sign of pregnancy though too. So not very helpful!

I used to get it pre-period but since having my daughter I don't. I can also get it during or just before ovulation. Oddly though, sore boobs was not an early pregnancy symptom for me.

Not exactly the same but I came off the combined pill in October last year (not TTC, DH got the all clear after having a vasectomy) and my boobs have been weird. Sore on and off and when they're not sore they feel sort of heavy. Apparently it's all to do with hormones balancing themselves out.

Could well be a period. Its hard to remember what your cycle was like before when you've had contraception that long.
