Sore boobies?

I know we have all felt this way before and it is not from working out (not this time anyway:) ).
Bottom line....I haven't been on any birthcontrol in 4 yrs.DH and I were trying to have a baby but it got to complicted so we just decided to go with the flow.We found out it was going to be hard for us to get pregnate b/c DH as a low sperm count. Since this, DH has finished his stressful job, which could have contributed to the low sperm count.
I never get sore breast,not even when I am starting my period.Last week this time I noticed that my breast were sore BUT I am not suppose to start my period until the 31st, so I am thinking that if I were pregnate, I wouldn't be having sypmtoms yet, would I?
I was talking to my mom yesterday and she said that around 10 yrs after she had me,her breast got really sore and she never went to the Dr.She said,maybe I have an infection? The pain starts under my arm pit (in both, the left if worse the the right) and it is tender to the center of my breast.How in the world would I get an infection?
DH says that they look like they are getting bigger....I dunno...to early to do a test but as anyone had these symptoms and not been pregante. I will go to the Dr either way, I guess.

Hi Lori,
My first clue when I was pregnant with both my kids was soreness! They also felt heavy, and warm. You are not so far away from the 31st either. Some of the home kits you can do pretty early, but if their negative, it still doesn't mean your not pregnant. It could also be PMS or even sore muscles??
 
Lori,

That was the very first thing that happen to me when I got pregnant. I didn't know I was pregnant right away, but I thought it was strange that my breast, especially the nipples were very sore. Five days later I went and took a pregnancy test and I found out that I was pregnant then.

This probably isn't the problem, but I thought I'd say it anyways, just in case. Are you eating a lot of soy or drinking a lot of soy milk? Every time I drink soy milk, my boobs hurt like crazy. Has something to do with the estrogen that is in soy. Just thought I'd throw this out there to you. Hope you're pregnant!!!
 
My first symptoms were sore boobs (tho I do occasionally get them from PMS too) and being extraordinarily tired during the day...
 
NOw mine feel more like Susans then Charolettes.My nipples aren't sore but my boobs feel warm and heavier.It is most sore right by my arm pit where my breast actually starts.
I would like to be pregante but I don't want to get my hopes up.I would also like to take a test but my period may start and I really don't want to waste $20 on one of those early result test.If its anything like my other pregnancy (which was 10 yrs ago)I should be throwing up any morning now....

Hi Lori,

Many women have very early pregnancy symptoms, prior to being able to test. Some women have none at all. Waiting to take the test can be an excruciating time!! And individual pregnancies vary, as well, so just because you got sick, early, with your first child, doesn't mean you will do the same with another pregnancy. Unfortunately the only thing you can do is wait another couple of days x( x( x( I would say your breast soreness is a promising sign of pregnancy, but only a positive test taken on the 31st or thereafter is really going to tell you what you want to know.

I hope you have some good news in a few days!

Thanks, I kind of hope I am but I don't want to get my hopes up.I have had alot of late periods in the past but never sore breast.I am also have having alot of heartburn.
Lori:)
 
I had soreness and heartburn right away .infact those were my first symptoms .I think you can get a two pack of pregnancy tests and for me one day late was soon enough for a positve test!!! So take the test on the first if you dont get your period .Then save the second test for later .. Good luck I too hope your preggo !!!!
 
Sounds like you could be pregnant, but I would think heartburn would come later on in pregnancy. I hope you are though. Let us know soon please as I will be thinking of ya.

I would think it would be two early for heartburn as well.But I don't normally get heartburn so its weird for me to have eaten something 3 days in a row that would do it to me.
I haven't been any more tired then usual.I just had a little cat nap but I only got 5 1/2 hours of sleep last night.
I will probably wait until the 2nd of Sept to take a test.I will try and keep busy until then....thats unless I get more symptoms, then I will have to buy one.
If I am not pregnate I hope this is not a new PMS symptom I am getting.I can't handle my boobs being tender for 2 weeks out of a month.
I don't think I am pregnate but that is only b/c I have taken so many test negative test in the last 4 yrs.

Wow, this is the most exciting thread I've read on this forum! I didn't know any of this stuff, either, so it's pretty interesting.

Lori, I'm wishing you and your DH all the best whatever happens!!
 
That was one of the first signs for me too that I was pregnant. All three of my pregnancies were different. The last probably the most painful. The doctor said as you get older your body changes, and your pregnancies will be different...blah, blah, blah. Wasn't helping me with the pain! Good luck! Please keep up posted.

I have posted about sore boobs before and I get them without being pregnant.

Take this month......I am on the pill and the breast soreness started week 2 into the month, but not week 3. So.......it did not seem to be related to my period, plus I don't know if I believe you go through the same hormone fluctuations that cause breast soreness if you are on the pill.

Anyway.......for the last, oh, six months or so I have had no soreness. But this month..........I put on several pounds like that (snapping fingers) my breast are very heavy and the nipples are very sore. They look like they grew a size, even to hubby, but so does everything else on my body, LOL. It is just weird how it happens all of a sudden!

So, I can't figure it out. Yes, I drink caffeine but that doesn't change month to month. No soy. It is just a mystery.......why this month out of all months. The other times I have posted about this it was the same. If it is not something that happens EVERY month in a cyclical fashion it is so confusing.

But.......you are not on the pill. I would get a pregnancy test. If you are not PG, well, you can be just as stupified as I am by it. LOL. (watch me post next week that I am PG, LOL)}(
 
With both of my pregnancies I was very sore in the very beginning. Drinking too much caffeine can cause fibrocytstic breast disease which can also cause them to be sore and lumpy. Mine get tender every month right before I start. Last month it was really bad because I had drank more caffeine than usual. This month I haven't drank hardly any and the tenderness is only there if touched.
 
I know I had sore breast with my other pregnacy but I can't remember when this started to happen. I was only 16 when I got pregnate so I wasn't paying much attention to anything.
The only thing I do find is that every month I get stronger symptoms that my period is starting. But with that said, I didn't ahev any PMS last week and I still don't. I usually get crabby the week before my period but last week I was fine.
I guess we will have to wait and see.
Don't worry you guys will be the first to know.I am not sure if we will tell anyone right away.If at all possible I would like to keep it a secret until I got past 3 montes.
And with all this being said...I might not even be, I think I am thinking WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY to far ahead.
