Help!!, has anyone had the following symptoms, lower back ache, and sore breasts so sore that even getting into the shower is a problem (with the water hitting them) been like this for nearly a week and period not due until next Friday. I don't usually suffer this early, maybe 3-4 days before and not this bad, have noticed that my nipples feel like they are expanding on my breasts and the part where the nipple meets the breast is very swollen on both, like a raised ring going round, never ever had that before. I have PCOS and have my 1st appointment with IVF clinic on 9th Dec, could it be ever so possible that....... , oh well, it might just be my body telling me I'm due AF. Also every god damn time I dry my hair and the towel brushes against my breasts I could scream in agony (well not that bad, but bad enough). Also I have been taking Clomid to help with the ovulation part of PCOS and on my last AF, Gynie told me to take 150mg and not 100mg (as I have been doing for last 5 months), do you think that the increase in doseage may have anything to do with my breasts being so painful. I have a god damn cold as well which I have caught off one of the pupils at the school where I work.
