Are slightly sore boobs (like just noticing them when walking down the stairs, not super sore like it hurts to hug someone) ever a sign of low estrogen? Or is sore boobs always high estrogen? I have some foot pain/body stiffness and sleeping too long (10.5 hrs last night!) that I would usually associate with low E2, but the boobs have me second guessing.

Hello Shannonplussed.
When I came off HRT my previously sore boobs resolved two weeks after stopping Utrogestan, I was still using the Oestrogel but not much and tapering off. I concluded from this that progesterone was the culprit in my case.
Take care.

Thanks. I’ve got a Mirena so taking into account all factors, it’s fair to say at this point things are unbalanced favouring progesterone. I’ll add a little more Estrogel tonight.
