Hi! Im new here! I found this site by googling.

Im a mom of three sweet little boys, and Im kind of puzzled by some of these strange symptoms Ive been having the past couple of weeks.

I had my last period on June 18th. My husband I have been having sex alot between the last week of June through the first week of July. Since around July 5th, My breasts have been sore and tender. It was that night when I was getting ready for bed, that I noticed after taking off my bra that my breasts felt so tender, sore and heavy feeling. It hurt to bend down and pick up stuff. I had to put my arm over my breasts so when I bent down, they wouldnt hurt. Now the soreness lasted a few days, and as days went on, I noticed my nipples starting to become more "erect"... and looks to be alittle darker too. I then started to experience an "itch" that would come and go "down there". No burning, no odor, etc. It would just kind of come and go on days.

I havnt had any itching for a couple of days now.

But today, my nipples are killing me. Now Im due for my period around July 14th through the 15th or so... Looking back at my menstrual cycle chart, It looks like this the past few months....

So my question is.... does this sound like I could be pregnant & is it possible to get sore and tender breasts 4-5 dpo, which then has came and gone between now and then?
Its not a normal PMS sign for me. I usually get moody a few days til my period shows up and at times I get kind of crampy. But other than that, ive never experienced the soreness in my breasts so soon in my cycle, or before my period is due.

Oh i forgot to add....

Ive been having really vivid dreams too the past couple of nights. When i dream, I wake up not remembering anything. But the past two nights Ive been waking up being able to remember dreams! They all have been very weird dreams too!

I also forgot to mention that I had some acne break outs on my lower right side of my face. I started seeing them about five days ago... I know acne that come along with AF, so I didnt think to list it in the first response.

I tend to have sore nipples right after ovulation until about 5 dpo. I don't remember really getting actual sore boobs more than a day or two in other cycles but to say the least this cycle my boob soreness has been more prominent, almost everyday, especially at night! Since probably 4 dpo. I hope it is a good thing for us

Yes, thats how its been for me since 4-5dpo too. I really noticed it the first two days... July 5th and 6th. But then during the days after I didnt notice it as much, til at night, when the bra comes off and its like the soreness begins again. I noticed it again tonight when I went to take a shower. Ive never had sore breasts prior to a period. Its always been mood swings, and cramps. So this is all new to me.

Have you noticed any changes when it comes to the nipples? Like are they different looking?

If AF is due on the 14th or 15th why not just take a HPT? You would be far enough along to get results.

Apart of me just wants to wait a couple more days and see what happens.
If nothing comes by friday, I will for sure be taking a pregnancy test.

Nothin different in the color or look of them that I could tell. I have relatively veiny-looking breasts already because I have a small chest and more importantly pale skin. So that means nothing for me. Also my nipples already look pinkish brownish normally, and are typically pretty...ahem, erect. So the only difference is the soreness.

Mine have been since I "O" and they normally are not until week prior to AF.

I cant pin point the exact day I ovulated, All I know based on the EWCM I saw, which was on the 30th of June and the 1st of July, along with the increase desire for sex, Im estimating I O'd around that time. The breast tenderness I experienced wasnt til the 5th of July. This is all new to me. I remember thinking, "what is this?" I never have had sore breasts before a period, yet alone that soon before a period! But like tonight, Im sitting here with sore nipples, and I had decided to take some tyenol for the pain I am in.
