Sore bbs 2 days before ov, worse now, low temps. Estrogen problem?

[patienceiav]

Hey ladies,

It's amazing after a year and a half ttc my body can still do things totally new

This month I've had sore boobs 2 days before ov which have gotten increasingly worse, they normally don't start till 5-7dpo. I also started taking progesterone at 3dpo but my temps are awful, could it be an estrogen issue? It's never happened before

This could be a good sign of a strong O, estrogen surges right before O, causing the lower temps. Estrogen can also cause breast tenderness. I wouldn't worry about it. Fx you get your bfp soon!

Thanks for your input it's interesting you mention strong ov, I had a REALLY positive opk this month! But I've read that it's a weak ov that gives weak temps, because the egg sorta falls out and the corpus luteum doesn't produce enough progesterone. Silly part is I'm on prescription progesterone so how can my temps be so low still? I figured it was some load of estrogen fighting against the temp rise I'd normally have from the progesterone
