Yeah I was thinking about trying to keep them, but then I thought... what a pain to have to take them in and out every hour or so, at least at first, and if my nipples get sore like new breastfeeding moms' usually do, am I really going to want to be shoving jewelry through chapped and inflamed nips? Uh, probably not.

Heck if I know. I just got this irritated patch right on the tip of one nipple. I thought it was a pimple. It would cycle through scabbing over, oozing nastiness, healing a bit, scabbing over, oozing nastiness... after a month of it I went to my Dr. and he said it was just a plugged duct, don't worry about it, it will clear itself up. That was LAST November, and I've FINALLY been clear of this thing for a few weeks now. When it scabbed over it would have a little black pinprick dot right in the middle. And I'm a picker, so I'd pick it off, and that would leave me with a little crater in my skin where I'd picked the dot out.
It wasn't particularly painful though it did get uncomfortable if it got backed up with the oozing nastiness stage. The worst part was that it was located right over the horizontal bar of my piercing so it was impossible to squeeze out comfortably (again, I'm a picker..... I can't help it!!).
Anyway. I switched bras and starting taking my bra off as much as I could a few weeks back and that seems to have helped. So now I wonder if my regular bra type (push up) was causing the problem?
