Has it happened again? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pp-cycle-changes#post-763272 Mon, 06 May 2013 11:01:57 +0000 lovehoneybee 763272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure I'm right about this but my DH thought I should "ask (my) bees" to see if anyone else has had a similar experience. </p> <p>several weeks ago I started having an intense pain in my left nipple. Like...toe-curling, biting back a yell every time he latched on, or even when it was touched, by anything. My breast-feeding goal went from 1 year to 8 months, and I debated feeding him from just the right and EP the left (because at least then he wouldn't see/feel me tense up whenever he fed).</p> <p>He wasn't biting me, so at the time I thought it might be thrush, even though I was exhibiting no other symptoms (nor was he). It was recommended that I try taking Grapefruit Seed Extract. </p> <p>So I ordered it (because I couldn't find it at the store), but within 2-3 days the pain was gone. Just vanished. My girls were good as new. </p> <p>Then yesterday I noticed my nipple was sore again. Just the one. Same toe-curling pain, even when it's just a shirt touching it. Then, before bed last night, I realized it was almost exactly a month after it happened the first time, which leads me to believe it it's related to either ovulation or...well I don't know about my period, since I haven't yet had a pp period, I never got boob pain or any sort before my period would start (pre-preg) and I have an IUD. I had this sort of pain right before I got my BFP, though...I actually took a test last month because the pain was specific and the same. </p> <p>So I'm going with the assumption that it's related to my cycle, although I'm not sure which part, exactly. </p> <p>Do you think I'm right? How has your cycle changed post-partum? </p>
