I'm TTC, so I got myself familiar with all the signs of early pregnancy - one of which is breast tenderness.  But since I have no boobs, I'm just wondering if anyone who had bilateral mastectomy & went through pregnancy is willing to share their early pregnancy experience.  I honestly don't know what my regular cycles are since I got off the pill about 3 months ago.  I used to be 28 days regular before chemo/surgeries, but then after chemo, they put me on the pill for various reasons.  I've been on the pill for, I think, 5 years (I'm a 6 year survivor now).  If I presume I have 28 days cycle back, then I'm 5 days late, but home pregnancy test was negative when I tested a couple days ago.  But, I just can't shake off this feeling of "I think I'm pregnant".  No sign of period coming...  No PMS.  I normally have bad PMS (which was one of the reasons they put me on the pill).  And, my nipple areas has been pretty tender.  Since I had nipple sparing bilateral mastectomy, my nipples are the only breast tissues I have.  I mean it's a strange pain sensation since all the nerves are cut off on my boobs, but somehow I feel very tender on the nipples when I touch.  I never had this feeling before while I was on the pill.  My next doctor's appointment is on 9/17, but this waiting is driving me crazy.  I tried to see if anyone who had bilateral mastectomy had this type of sensation, but I couldn't find any.  Fellow survivors, what was your early pregnancy symptoms (focusing on the boobie area) if you had bilateral mastectomy?  Please share your experience.  Thanks!
