Ow.. but, YAY!
So I have two 'hurts' today and only one is my fault! I some how managed to injure my left knee. I think I have a 'pressure bruise' as I call it... I put too much pressure on the knee cap for too long and now it feels bruised. The other 'hurt' is hormone related. I'm soooo not used to my body creating the hormones, so I was not prepared for my nipples to start hurting yesterday. I just hope the blood test I had done in the AM shows the buildup and I don't get contradicting test results (blood and the LH strips).
I was talking to my mum this morning and asked her if sore nipples means I'm producing progesterone on my own. She immediately quipped that it could be a sign of pregnancy. I face palmed. The pain started 2-3 days after the tests showed I ovulated, I doubt it would be a sign. Normally I'd be jumping on that bandwagon, but I'm hesitant to get all excited right now. It's too soon for that.
I am excited that my body seems to be producing the hormones to the levels of causing sore nipples! They hurt and it's annoying, but I'm HAPPY about it. That seems strange and kinda crazy, but I don't care! I'm in a strangely good mood this morning. Then again it could be because pieces of my puzzle are falling into place.
It seems like something has changed. Just as I start the process for counseling and get my first counseling appointment and I start having more good days than bad. I think part of it is the hope has been restored by this cycle working. I may not get my BFP from this cycle, but my body is doing what it should be doing and I couldn't be happier with that!

My nipples/boobs range anywhere from sore to out and out miserable for a week before I start. They were the absolute worst when we got pregnant and then they were REALLY bad a couple months ago (made me think we got preg again, but it was a false alarm). But yes it could be a sign that your hormones are fluctuating like they should be. Unfortunately all the first signs of pregnancy are also the signs of PMS. So I just quit looking for signs anymore. I have a really regular cycle, so if it\'s a day or two late, then I\'ll test. I\'m hoping your blood test shows that you did indeed ovulate - and better yet, hopefully your sore boobies are a TRUE SIGN!!!!!
Yay for good signs! Like you said, even if this month is not a BFP, at least it seems like your body is figuring things out! Thats a good thing!
Thanks ladies! I\'m just happy that something\'s happening instead of nothing!
My hubby came home from getting groceries (my knee prevented me from assisting) and I was helping to put them away. He walked out of the kitchen for a minute and came back to see my clutching my boobs (I\'d just hit them on one of the boxes I was taking out of a bag). I looked at him and said \"My nipples hurt... and I\'m excited about it!\" and he just about fell over laughing. I love when I can catch him off guard about these things, he\'s happy something\'s working and that I\'m happy.
Baby steps...this is a great one! Yeah boobs!
HAPPY SORE NIPPLE DAY!!!!
