Sore breasts - sign i'm not pregnant?

So I know that breast soreness can indicate pregnancy. But, if I'm having it 6 dpo, wouldn't that be too early to indicate pregnancy and more likely indicate I'm getting AF, so that it's rather proof that I'm not pregnant? In other words, this happens every month pre-AF so if I were pregnant I would think that it would not happen.


I had slight bleeding 5 dpo which I thought could be implantation, but that would also mean that my body should know it is not getting a period, right?


Yes I'm over-analyzing but did iui first time this month and am anxious. Comments appreciated.

I'm the opposite: I don't usually have sore breasts in the week after O, but in the cycle I got my BFP, I did. So I see sore breasts in the first week as a potential sign of pregnancy.

This TTC business is so frustrating, isn't it? I have always had post-O breast tenderness that kicks in within a day or two of Oing. When I was pg with DD I had NO soreness at all. After I stopped BFing her and went back to normal periods again I went straight back to having sore BBS after O. With this pregnancy I had no sore BBS until 11DPO. They still hurt a week later, and it hurts worse than they every did before. Just hugging DH or taking a shower causes horrible pain!


I think the point of the story is that you never know. The cycles when I had the most symptoms ended in BFN's. This last cycle had the fewest symptoms and I ended up being pg. Don't count yourself out yet, you're still very early! Hopefully this is your month! GL!!!

there are many reasons ur breasts could be sore. for example, my boyfriend really likes to squeeze my boobies when we having sex. i love it but next day they are sore so sore and i think i'm pregnant. does he squeeze them? do you like it? is he using comdom? this can prevent pregnancy, contrary to what you hear.
