My boobs are really hurting............... can it be caused by stopping smoking (I know, thats dumb but you never know.....)

Very tingly and tender.

Only since I stopped smoking yesterday.

Paracetamol hasnt helped.

On the plus side they look bigger though

oh dear

have you done a pg test

Increased circulation?

Ditto Enid!!

Yep actually

The doctor did one last week before prescribing me my new pill.

I think I may have lay on them funny.

PMT?

aaah new pills do that to me - it will probably wear off after the first month or so of taking it

Its not a new pill. She was just giving me a repeat prescription and said that because I hadnt had an AF (which happens sometimes when you are on the pill) that she would do one to make sure iyswim.

possibly build up to your period then?

Me too, Tamba

For the past few months they have started tingling and being tender just before my period starts. It goes on long enough for me to start panicking and then af arrives.

It's been years since I gave up smoking though.

Maybe thats it then.

Fanatastic

Something else to look forward to every month!!

(Thanks for your comments )

i've got just one sore boob, what does that mean then ????

Funny you should mention this because I woke up this morning with both boobs feeling achy and tender. I'm not due on my period and i'm definately not pregnant maybe there's a strange virus going round!

Actually i'm right in the middle of my cycle can this happen when you are ovulating they feel bigger like when you are pregnant too but im definately NOT pregnant!

Ohhh a sore nork virus

Cheesy - the right one is deffo worse for some reason.

Is it a full moon or something?

Deffo the new pills, I (temporarily) had real jugs when I changed mine. Shame they vanished once I'd taken the next pack.

My bristols were agony when I was pg.

Don?t mean to be rude - but if you have put a little weight on while stopping smoking, the extra water retention/weight gain can make your boobs sore. It is the first warning sign for me that I have put on a few pounds - sore, bigger boobs. Fortunately. it is the first place the weight comes off when dieting so can relieve the prob fairly quickly.
