Sore boobs and Itchy mean anything at CD11????????????

[Sammerson0814]

Someone please give me some insight.. I have also posted this question in Fertility and no one has replied.

I am at cycle day 11, and this is my first cycle off of birth control. My breasts have been sore for a while, since the end of my period in March, and I thought I may have been pregnant, but after a few BFN and a lot of frustration I have convinced myself it was all in my head, or a side effect of the pill. My breasts are still very sore, and now my nipples are itchy. I haven't changed detergent or anything like that. I am still associating the sore breasts, and other symptoms like bloating and gas, to the pill, since this is only the beginning of the 2nd week beign off of it. Could the sore and itchy breasts also be due to oncoming ovulation? Crazy hormones? I dont want to get back into the cycle of thinking I'm pregnant and driving myself crazy. I am not well endowed at all and I never used to even remember I had boobs, let alone have them be sore or itchy.

Any advice or opinions will be greatly appreciated.

Some women experience symptoms just before ovulation that mimic PMS/pregnancy symptoms. So you could be gearing up to O. Which would make sense based on when you stopped taking the pill. Or it could just be your body readjusting after being on the pill. Are you having any cervical fluid?

No, I have been checking since day 1 of this sycle, and it is just kind of barely there, thick, not much there at all. Since this is the first cycle off of the pill I'm not really sure when I am going to O. My clcyles on the pill lasted 31 days. So I assuming I should be O'ing within the next week, but no changes in Cm yet. My biggest fear is the the tests I took were wrong, and I could actually be pregnant ( and I say this b/c I want a baby, and I honestly think its in my head).

this is my third cycle TTC number 2 since coming off the nuvaring (so not the pill but kind of similar).

I was sooooo convinced in the first cycle that I was preggo (had every sign) but now i think it was my body dealing with not having those hormones...I had read that in a few places too but thought it wouldnt apply to me...it def did though!

So it could be a pregnancy or AF or you gearing up to O or just dealing with the lack of fake hormones...who knows!? haha

Have you considered charting? I just started this month and it's informative and addicting!
