Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

cold & breasts???

Question:

Thanks, anything is worth a try, since I ovulated this month *despite* BCP, (good news for the egg/fertility process–bad for the symptom management.) I’m going to be trying just Rez with no BCP for a couple of months.  The breast pain is the biggest worry.  (I have Rx for the cramps, which leaves me pretty blissed out for most of the duration (lol) I’ll try to find them!

I have no idea about why this happens, but I do have a suggestion that may help the sensitivity.  Check into getting Hobbit Breast Shells.  These are plastic "shell" type things they gave me at the hospital after I had my baby to help with the nipple sensitivity.  They cover the areola but do not touch the nipple and hold your clothing off your nipple.  This may help you with the sensitivity.  Not sure where you could buy these, but if all else fails call your local hospital or a lacation consultant.  I am sure they can help.

OK, this one’s embarassing, but maybe someone knows… It’s that time of year, we’ve had snow for 3 days in a row…  temps in the teens.  When I get ‘cold’ is when I have severe, acute breast pain.  If I actually look at the nipple, it is blue tinged… dark purple not normal dark pink, often with a very small white area. (Pinhead sized.)  Nipple is swollen and hard. It used to be strictly premenstrual, I would be in agony for days, hardly able to wear a bra.  Definitely not able to sleep on my stomach or even my side sometimes. Been on BCP for 6 mos, helped tremendously at first, but now I’m dying.  I have another week to go on the Pill before the placebo days, so it *shouldn’t* be PMS. Does anyone know what this is?  Should I be worried?  I am ‘well endowed’ thanks to PCO related obesity…  Need to loose #100lbs.  will this go away or is it just hypersensitivity?
