I went to the Drs this morning - I've had a swollen, painful breast for 4 - 5 days now. He felt it and said there's a definite lump and put me on antibiotics for a week to see if that clears it up. I've also to go for blood tests, and go back in one week's time to get the results of the blood test - as well as to see if the lump is still there - if it is, there will be a biopsy.
He also asked me to do a home pregnancy test, and said he will be checking my blood for HCG. I did the home test - which was neg (I have the mirena coil so didn't expect otherwise, although it still made me to see my bfn.
He mentioned it was probably mastitis - I haven't BF'd for over two years (my DD is nearly 5) and he asked me if I'd been around someone else's baby, as sometimes hearing a newborn crying baby can prompt your breasts to get going again in women who have already breast-fed.
Well, I haven't been around someone else's baby - but, as you can tell from my other thread, I've been thinking about TCC and not being able to (yet) none stop for weeks - I wonder if that is it?
