I did ask this last week or so, but buried it at the end of another post.

Can someome please explain to me why some mothers have intense nipple 
pain whilst nursing during the ovulationary segment of the menstural cycle?

Is it the same reason for why breastfeeding can become painful during 
pregnancy, or not linked? 

Is there anything to be done to alleviate the pain?  Intense nipple pain 
during feeding for several days of any 28 day cycle can be a bit 
debilitating.

(I know of mothers who state it only hurts on the day of ovulation.  
Others, who have pain in the run up to, and on, ovulation.  Some, who 
have pain during run up, on ovulation day, and then for a few days 
afterwards.  I'm not sure if it's important, but every mother I've had 
contact with, is nursing a toddler.  But then... that's why they are 
noticing, for their periods have usually not returned _until_ the baby 
is a toddler.)
