A member asked:

My boobs are really sore every month, this didn't start until after i had the i.u.d removed. what could be causing this im not stressed or ovulating?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It's normal: Breasts will commonly get sore each month, but this will vary with the individual and perhaps with hormone levels. It definitely is associated with ovulatory cycles but not with stress, and starting with iud removal is only coincidental.
