Pregnancy boobs while BF?

If you fell pregnant while breastfeeding, what were your symptoms and how did your boobs feel?

For context, I am currently BFing my nearly 9 month old. I went back on the pill at 6wks pp but then came back off it when DD was around 4 months ish as the side effects were awful. So me and DH have been using the pull out method since. We want little ones closer together, but just sort of leaving it to fate at the moment. However, he finished inside me 1-2 weeks ago and I didn't realise it at the time but it was around the time I ovulated. I think I am probably about 7-8dpo currently.

I am always hyperconscious of how my boobs feel because of BFing, but the past two days they have felt unusually full. I don't pump much anymore and DD is on solids with her milk, so it isn't like my supply would have increased or anything. So I highly doubt its milk. I also had a few cramps the other day, and have been incredibly tired and a little dizzy the past couple of days.

It may be nothing whatsoever, and complete coincidence. But my boobs feel WEIRD haha!

Still feeding my 2 year old and I’m 17 weeks - I took a test at 4 weeks because my boobs felt fuller/tingly and I had a sudden increase in milk! It was the boobs that gave it away!
Nipples got sore about 6/8 weeks I think, still more sensitive now but nothing awful.
