Hi all! I’m wondering if anyone has had experience with red raspberry leaf and breast soreness?
I have terrible menstrual cramps and am also looking to conceive (obvs), so I began having 1-2 cups of red raspberry leaf about CD 4. My intent was to let it regulate my hormones and do its thing for my uterus before my next period.
I stopped taking it around CD 15, partly because I read you should only take it up to ovulation, but also because I had this weird hour where I had such strong cramps that it felt like I had my period. I also had some spotting, which is unheard of for me, even during ovulation.
The next day, my boobs were SO sore and swollen. That’s usual for me in the 4-5 days before AF, but never ever this early. And they’ve stayed sore and swollen. Nipples look the same.
I’m now at CD 21 and am seriously weirded out. I haven’t had any tea for almost 10 days but my boobs are so sore. Husband was away for two weeks and we only had sex on CD 5 and CD 17, so don’t see how I can be pregnant unless the tea made me ovulate super early.
Anyone else get sore breasts on red raspberry leaf tea?
