Hi all,
I have a question about sore breasts/nipples post ovulation.
EVERY cycle, I know exactly when I have released an egg because my nipples become incredibly sore. So for me, this month I O'ed on Tuesday 20th and that evening my nipples starting gradually becoming more tender and sore. By wednesday 21st am right through to pm they were unbearably sore. Even clothes brushing past them hurts A LOT. This is really normal for me, it happens every cycle without fail and is a sure fire way of knowing if I have O'ed.
However, today (thursday 22nd) I woke up to absolutely no sore breasts or nipples. The pain has totally gone.
This is not usual at all for me. Once I have o'ed, my nipples are unbearably sore until AF arrives and they stop hurting altogether or until BFP when the pain increases.. I am a little alarmed that the pain has gone away at only 2dpo.
Does anybody know what this could mean?
Last month I had a MC and my breasts were so extremely sore from O onwards, that if DH so much as LOOKED at them I would wince in pain! They stayed that way until a few days after AF was due and I'd had my BFP's and the day they stopped hurting I started MC'ing and bleeding.
My biggest worry is that this is a progesterone issue?. Am I right in understanding that it is the rise of progesterone after O and then subsequently if/when pregnant it rises again that causes sore breasts?
Would the dissappearing sore breasts at 2dpo indicate that my progesterone level had risen post Ov but then dropped again - so therefore not enough to implant/sustain a possible pregnancy?
I need my Dr to investigate progesterone but he won't, so that isn't an option unfortunately.
Also, I've read something online (this (http://www.ehow.com/about_5348559_do-breasts-sore-ovulating.html#ixzz1Y26u8Os8)) that was linked on another pregnancy forum, on a thread about breast pain post-Ov. It basically states that if pain is in the sides of your breasts then it indicates that ovulation has occurred and if the pain is in the front of the breasts or over the nipples it indicates an estrogen dominance which may mean ovulation did not occur.
This is worrying because I NEVER feel pain in the sides of my breasts, not even when I was pregnant with my DS (that I remember) or last month with my MC. The pain is always intense and concentrated in the nipple/areola area.
At this stage post-ov I am well aware that this isn't a case of possibly being pregnant or not, it's not so much symptom spotting for a BFP, rather wondering if this could be the reason for my MC last month and a reason why I can't get/stay pregnant.
The sudden disappearance of sore breasts at 2dpo is just not right for me and I am wondering if there is something wrong.
