Hi everyone,
I’m currently 3 months postpartum. At the 6 week mark I noticed a hard breast lump in my left breast that’s kind of diagonal - it starts at the sternum and goes into the edge of my left breast. It is very movable and oval shaped. However, sometimes I feel like the shape is irregular depending upon which position I’m in. I spoke to my doc on the phone at the 6 week mark and she said to massage and pump as it could be a clogged duct. She advised that if it didn’t clear up after my next cycle to come and get checked. Well, I just had my second post partum period and the lump hasn’t gone. It’s still there. Sometimes it feels hard especially when I’m standing. However when I dig deep and bend down it feels softer. I don’t know what the right way to check is 🤷*♀️
I have an appointment with her for this Thursday. I’m quite worried and haven’t really been able to concentrate on anything much since making the appointment. I was really really hoping it would go away by itself. It’s scary because it feels irregular, gets hard and it almost feels like it has a loooong spike extending from it to my sternum. I don’t know if that’s just a tendon. But I’m just freaked oit
