6dpo breasts...
Huge and HEAVY! I had to ask my DH to hold them to see if he thought they felt heavy too!  They also feel denser than usual if that makes any sense (which he commented on unprompted, but I also felt) and looked kind of veiny.
I've never noticed them like this before, although it is only my third cycle off BCP.
Has anyone else had this? Is it a PG symptom? Is it too early to tell?

Re: 6dpo breasts...
IT could be but it is kind of early for that. I also get that about a week before my period and then it lets up before AF comes. So good luck.

Re: 6dpo breasts...
It's certainly a pg symptom, but most women don't experience it until a few days before AF is due or thereafter. But, who knows! Good luck!

Thanks, I know I'm being ridiculous! But then again, my previous cycles have shown an LP of 10 days or so, so technically I am a few days before AF

I'm the same - I have a LP of between 10-13 days so I also get AF before most other women. The problem with that is that sometimes, with women with a shorter LP, you may not get your BFP when AF is due because your body hasn't had enough time to accumulate enough hormones.
I remember clearly with both pregnancies (one miscarriage, one successful) I didn't get a BFP until 2 days after AF was due, and with both, my symptoms weren't really noticeable until the day AF was due and a couple days following until I got my BFP.
BUT, EVERY woman is different, as is every pregnancy!

Re: 6dpo breasts...
I have the exact same symptom.... and got it at the same time. I searched for symptoms on twoweekwait.com, and indeed, it has been reported on numerous accounts on their site.
It really depends on the person, though. I've heard that many women get boob pain right before AF.... I don't know how many people get serious swelling / heaviness, though... I presume some do.
At any rate, I never ever get anything boob-related prior to AF, so I'm hoping all this swelling/ heaviness/ pain is a good sign.....
good luck!

I ALWAYS swell even before AF its insane, to the point that DH will say oh you're about to get AF

oh yeah, that's right... so it is a common enough symptom of a normal cycle...
I think with all these super early pregnancy symptoms it's really a matter of the woman noticing something very out of the ordinary for her own experience... if you never had swelling boobs before, and they are now obviously swelling and different, you should make a mental note. If you occassionally or frequently experience it, greet that "symptom" with much more skepticism
