I was on the fast track protocol, and have been pumping now for almost three weeks. It was always a bit painful at the start of the pumping, but then got better. Yesterday and today it is really painful:( I have pretty cracked nipples, but was thinking maybe thrush? DId anyone have this with pumping? OUr son is due any day now and I don't want to stop, but dang it is bad.
Any advice would be much appriciated.

thanks for the reply. It is definatly nipple pain, but I am having some shooting pains that go back into my chest. I had thrush with my daughter, and this MAY feel similar. I just wasn't sure if I was bruising myself with the pump. I had some diflucan and took some yesterday, and today was a bit less painful, but honestly the nipple pain feels like I have slammed my nipples in a vice ( not burning). SHould I treat for yeast anyways? I am using Newman's Nipple Ointment now, which has helped a bit.
