Hi Ladies. I'm in week 13, so right on the edge of 1st & 2nd trimester. So far everything looks good, and the neuchal ultrasound was good and showed what sure looked like boy parts. I'm finishing up antibiotics for a sinus infection, feeling MUCH better, but curious about of all the odd things, my armpit. It swelled up, toward the front, and was very tender, but I couldn't feel any lymph nodes. It's a whole handfull of puffy on the right that isn't there on the left. Yes, I've seen my doc. This happened a couple of years ago, and she told me it was breast tissue, and ordered a mammogram that was fine. This time she tells me it's lymph swelling. Humm.. same problem, two answers. This time it started with the sinus infection, so I'm guessing it could be related. If it were swollen breast tissue, I'd have expected it to swell when mine were most tender, but it didn't pop up until they were past the worst of that early pg misery and feeling rather normal again. It's been two weeks, my sinuses are nearly normal again, but the puffy area is still puffy, and still tender when poked, or when I put my arm down and a bit forward. Doc does not seem concerned, and the web searching I've done isn't leading anywhere specific, and I'll call doc again if it continues, but I wonder if anyone out there has had a smimilar experience?

Week 14, sinus infection cleared up, right armpit still puffy, but a bit less tender. Just bumping up the question because I can't possibly be the only one who's ever experienced this? I see the doc again in 5 days so I'll inquire further there...
