A member asked:

Would breast tenderness occur just 5 days after ovulation if pregnant? would pregnancy happen this soon? perhaps ovulation occurred sooner?

Dr. Victor Beshay answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Possible: Breast tenderness is a result of Progesterone hormone production after ovulation. Pregnant cycles may have higher Progesterone production leading to more breast symptoms. However, these symptoms cannot be used as a pregnancy test. If you miss your cycle, make sure to check a urine pregnancy test.
