A member asked:

It's been a week after i ovulated and my boobs are still sore, is this normal or could it be something else?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Breast soreness: This is typical of ovulation and high Progesterone levels. If it persists check apreg test at the end of your cycle.

Don't worry: There are so many reasons for breast tenderness it's usually impossible to explain. There's also usually nothing to worry about. If it becomes a pattern you should ask your doctor to check it out.
