Nipples hurt soooo bad !! -- Update in OP

Sorry the NP was pushing you to make a decision about bc/conceiving. You can take all the time you need to make a decision, don't let her get to you.

Have you ever looked into alternative therapies? I really like the book "be your own doctor" by Rachel weaver, and there's a great website that sells herbals called mountain meadow herbs, not sure if herbs of supplements would help relate hormone levels but may be worth trying hope you feel better soon momma.

Thanks for the info. I am willing to try anything to help - diet, supplements, etc.

Thank you I think I am going to try to regulate through diet/supplements and start tracking to see if I am ovulating. DH and I have agreed to see what happens without any major fertility treatment intervention at this time. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Extreme pain that radiates through the breast to by shoulder is usually the ONLY symptom that I have thrush (no white spots, no redness, nothing on baby) and the first few times it happened, I didn't recognize what it was and it progressed to mild mastitis which the only other symptoms were nausea and fatigue. Treating the thrush with Gentian Violet or Nystatin and mastitis with lots of rest and fluids have worked beautifully for me every time. My sister is a doc and she said that a medical professional who has never had thrush would not have recognized that I had it.

Just something to consider. It may not be hormonal at all--your symptoms sound EXACTLY like mine.
