Hey guys. I'm in peri and am on progesterone 300mg nightly and estradiol 0.025mg patches twice weekly. My nipples are unbelievably sore. Seriously they feel like fresh bruises, even the pressure of fabric from a shirt or bra can be painful. My GYN said this is common with progesterone and recommended evening primrose pills, but like an idiot I didn't ask what strength or how often. Do you have any experience with this or advice? Please and thanks - it's making me extremely cranky 😬

There are various products designed to help with soreness while breastfeeding, perhaps those could provide some relief by shielding your nipples?

A quick search found these, but I can't speak to their efficacy: https://shellies.co/

    Seashell nipple shields! These are cool, I'll have to check out the reviews. I don't know if they'd be comfortable - seems like something hard against my nipples would be painful - but it seems like they're cooling which might help. Also I could be a secret Little Mermaid haha
