the official name for this is 'cyclical mastalgia' [not 'ouch my boob' as we like to call it....], and relates to the breast tenderness that occurs during your hormonal variations over your cycle. the first two weeks of your cycle, your body is producing increased levels of oestrogen, which can cause your breasts to get bigger, and during the second half of your cycle your progesterone is way up which can cause puffed up milk ducts. all in all, making for some very tender tits. 🍒
