Huge sore boobs

[spacewitch10]

Hi everyone,

My boobs have been hurting since about 2dpo, when I say hurting at best tender to touch and at worst on fire. today I am 9dpo and they are driving me mad, they feel like they are burning/bruised, round the sides and through the middle to the nipple, and easily a cup size or two bigger. Last night I had really strange punching pains quite low down, still getting them today and cramps.

anyone experienced sore boobs the whole tww and got a bfp?!

Never had a BFP in 20 months of TTC so please feel free to discount my experience but my boobs are exactly as you describe each month, from straight after ovulation until a couple of days before my period arrives. There's a hormone drop after ovulation that's usually responsible I believe.

Thank you @tootrueblue I normally get tender boobs after ovulation too, and on and off until AF but this is constant and another level and haven't experienced this before. So I was just wondering if anyone had experienced it as a new/early pregnancy symptom. I hope you have all the luck ttc very soon ❤️

And you @spacewitch10 hopefully someone with better experience will come along shortly

I am 9dpo and experiencing the same. Really sore breasts since ovulation. Like seriously sore, I feel them aching when I’m walking and if they touch off anything. 7dpo, I got a stitch like pain and then yesterday 8dpo, some light pink cm and strong cramps. Nothing today just really sore breasts again . They are so sore, it’s uncomfortable. Thinking of testing tomorrow but only have one first response and don’t want to waste it! I don’t ever get them this sore. Fingers crossed it means something for the both of us!

The only 2 times I had sore boobs from 3/4dpo were the two times I was pregnant. They were huge and I couldn't bear anyone or anything touching them. In fact the second time I KNEW I was pregnant simply because of my boobs.
Good luck OP x

Thank you for your replies @Bonster37 and @OgdensGoneNutFlake! I'm glad I'm not the only one to experience this.
I did a normal hpt this morning and of course bfn.
Yesterday at 8dpo I had a bad taste in my mouth all evening and I had a streak of discoloured cm in my undies after lots of cramps and pinching, it wasn't white but not sure if it was yellow or very pale brown. today lots of really lotiony type cm, but white. Bad taste in my mouth, a split second of heartburn, lots of cramps (thought af had started) and pinching and of course these god damn KILLER boobs. I wanted to rip them off this afternoon they were so bad!
When do you think you will test @Bonster37?! I ordered some early detection ones today to arrive tomorrow.... it's a pack of 3 so I will do one 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

When I was pregnant I realised for me personally that all the symptoms I was looking for didn't exists and that it just felt the same as my period except this!! They were always sore everymonth just before my period and then it would go away and my period would start but the month I was pregnant they were in agony! Even a speed bump when driving was horrific so it's definitely a sign or was for me anyway. Goodluck hope it's your month!

Thanks @Melvin2021 yes for sure speedbumps! And even walking heavy footed or going down the stairs! That's why I wanted to ask on here because like you, I have sore boobs on and off from ovulation to af but never like this and never constantly. it's just a waiting game now for either a bfp or af 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have one first response and I’m debating testing tomorrow or Thursday so 10 or 11dpo. How are you feeling now?

I get sore boob pre menstrual, but when I was pregnant it was another level of sore and tender, good luck!

Yep I always get sore boobs early when I’m pregnant, this last time I got a bfn at 9dpo but a shadow of a line at 10dpo - so good luck!

Thanks everyone for your replies.
@Bonster37 good luck testing if you test today! My tests won't arrive until later but I've saved some of my morning wee to test later! Weirdly my boobs have calmed a bit today, still a little tender and feel bruised, still noticed going over speed bumps but just feel softer and not as burny as they did so now I'm doubting myself! How do you feel today? Xx

I could have wrote your message. Had really sore breasts for the last week and they gave calmed today. Not feeling confident now. Just tested and got BFN at 10dpo.

@Bonster37 😫 I have just googled the s*it out of it and some women have experienced this and still got a bfp, so we're not out yet. Plus we don't know when implantation may have occurred so there may not be enough hcg in the urine, I think I read 8dpo is a typical day for implantation so let's stay positive, hope your ok! Xx

Just as an aside, I didn't get my bfp with either child until 16 dpo and 12 dpo despite many, many tests.
As they say you're not out til AF shows up x

My soreness eased off when I was pregnant and I still got a bfp. I assumed I was out but that's obviously not the case for everyone. Just wait until you've missed your period then test.

@OgdensGoneNutFlake thank you! As soon as I read that it did remind me with my son (11 years ago) that I suspected pregnancy but did multiple tests that were bfn for weeks and then finally had a bfp when I realised all I could stomach was toast and a strong urge for marmalade 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ I'm not sure what dpo that was though as I wasn't ttc then, so thank you that did offer some reassurance xx

I’ve had two pregnancies and sore boobs (more than usual PMS) was the first noticeable sign at about 3dpo. Followed by irrational emotions outbursts at 8dpo and, with my first, bad cramp at 12dpo.

@Bonster37 tested with an early detector this afternoon and bfn 😔 boobs are on fire again and have had really bad lower back pain today, but no cramps. Then this afternoon when I went for a wee I noticed pink discharge when I wiped, wiped again after the school run and less of it but still there. Think it's af on its way 😔 hope you test again and get your bfp! Xx

My boobs are really hurting again and have had a slight headache. Hope your AF stays away.

Hey, still have sore boobs. Did your AF come?

Burning boobs and insomnia were my first signs with both successful pregnancies

@Bonster37 no af yet but like you still have very painful boobs, had really bad lower back pain yesterday and that weird pink discharge. But nothing today apart from the boobs and feeling a bit nauseous! How are you feeling? Xx

I had cramps yesterday but none so far. I got more tests but think I’d rather see AF than a negative. Today is 11dpo. Going to hold off until wknd I think

@Bonster37 I did another test this morning and I think it's bfn. When I got in from work I thought I saw a hint of a line but if I did it's probably an evap line and after closer inspection I cannot see it everytime so think my eyes are playing tricks! Let me know how you get on tomorrow and fingers crossed for you! Xx
