can anyone explain why we sometimes get this before AF and with pregnancy..

what is the difference between the 2? does this make any sense at all?? LOL

From what I understand, it's the progesterone that is secreted post-ovulation and also during pregnancy that causes sore or sensitive nipples. Your progesterone levels rise after Oing, and for some people, you get very sore nipples or breasts right before AF comes. I always hated that when we were TTC, because I would always trick myself into thinking that they were sore because I was pregnant--it can be a "symptom" of pregnancy.

oh..ok! I was wondering which hormone was responsible!! thanks!

yeah...I got this last month too...around 8dpo (I NEVER get sore breasts/nipples before AF)....so, I thought wow...maybe I am pregnant, then I started not too long after that of course

So, now I am having this again.....probably cause AF is coming
