Breast ache in luteal because of progesterone. Progesterone hormone rises during luteal phase and causes water retention in the breast. It is the same hormone that causes the breast to swell with milk during pregnancy.. During our monthly cycle our body goes through some what of a fake pregnancy, it is why pregnancy symptoms and PMS are so alike and many women get confused if they're expecting their period or they are pregnant!
Estrogen might cause breast pain if they are growing from adding estrogen from the body, but that is growing pains. Luteal is all progesterone raising in the body which causes swelling and water retention. It is why swell up in water weight/gain a few pounds before we get our period.
