Question

Clomid and sore painful nipples since 3dpo. Help. Is this normal.

So i am currently 5 dpo and my nipples hurt so much that they r dark red and really tender and have been this way since 3dpo. Not sure if this is a side effect of clomid as i took my first roundof 50 mg cycle day 5-9 and had pos opk cycle day 16 & 17. Not sure if this is promising or just coincidence. I know implantation occurs usually between 5-9 dpo so i know is super early but also implantation could happen as early as 2dpo but is rare.

Implantation cannot happen at 2dpo. Impossible. At 2dpo, even if fertilization happened within seconds of intercourse, you'd still have a 2-4 cell embryo. It can't implant until it is a many hundred cells and has hatched. Cell division is a fairly set process timewise. A very very few embryos are super quick and might be ready for implantation at 5dpo, but for 99% of embryos, you're looking at 6-12dpo for implantation (with 8-10dpo being the most common).

But to answer your initial question, dark red sore nipples is not a side effect of clomid that I have ever heard of. It could be a progesterone side effect, though. And hopefully, a good sign of a strong ovulation.

Good luck!!

I had sore nipples with clomid as well and I knew instantly when I was pregnant by the soreness of my nipples.. INSTANTLY. Some when are just more sensitive to progesterone that others. the only really way to know is it test in a few days. Good Luck. i'll be rooting for you
