For the last couple of weeks my breast have been hurting & very tender ....I feel like they are bruised ....is this a sign of an infection ??? my nipples look fine & nothing gross is coming out --- could it be from me starting back with the fenugreek to get my supply up????

anyone have this before ??? & any suggestions please ...

Is it like you're engorged? If so,then I would think it's just an increase in supply. When my kids have a growth spurt my breasts usually get tender and sore for a couple days while my supply figures out what it wants to do, then they go back to normal. I've never had it for a couple weeks, though.
Any red spots or lumps on your breasts? Anything else out of the ordinary with them?
I guess if you've been taking the fenugreek the whole time this is going on, that may be it and it's just playing with your supply so you're engorged, but I really don't know.

Could be the supply increase, yeah. That's also what I've felt the two times I had a plugged duct. I'd check for any lumps.
