I did post on conception but got nothing and am kind of freaked out I googled stupidly and am now more confused.

Came off depo injection 6 weeks ago to ttc #2 and have randomly started lactating earlier it was just on the right but now both sides have 3/4 small drops if I squeeze and the right one has a pain in it. Could this be my body adjusting to being off birth control or a pregnancy sign or something worrying? I didn't BF but lactated a after having DS for nearly 2 years then stopped about 8 months ago I did leak a good bit when pregnant with DS but only at 6mo+.

DS is poorly and neither of us drive so no chance of getting a test until Monday and TBH don't want to get my hopes up for nothing. Google has everything from it's a sign of ovulating to it's a sign your not ovulating Confused

Personally I would see a gp. Are you sure it's not discharge from the nipple?

It's the same colour/consistancy from after ds was born which gp assured me was me still lactating slightly and nothing to worry about. I'm totally confused and slightly worried about it now though.

My breasts oozed regularly to the point that it would show on my tops and was embarrassing. I came off the pill, thinking it was related but then had no periods. Having gone to my gp and been referred to a specialist, it turned out my prolactin levels were abnormally high. They couldn't really explain why it had happened but thought it would resolve itself once I had children. They put me on medication, I was monitored every 6-12 months or so, and I did come off the medication when ttc. My dd is now nearly 4 and I haven't had a problem since.

In my case, it wasn't anything major but I suggest that you go see your gp to have it investigated and to put your mind at rest.
