If you've not breastfed for a year and suddenly your supply returns could it mane you are pregnant?

Or just hrmones remaining from a year ago?

Anyone leaked milk only to find out they were pregant?

jeepers! that would be a funny way to find out!! will watch with interest!

Watch with interest as the thread dies.

Anyone?

Don't know if this is good news or bad.....but my boobs regularily leak & DD is 8 (not loads or often - but frequently)

8! When did you stop breastfeeding?

It's neither good or bad news tbh, the person in question only started ttc this month.

At 9m

Thanks for your help ( i read 9am at first). I'll let her know.

Fairyfly - could be a hormone imbalance or side effects of medication you are on. Happened to a friend of mine recently - thread \link{http://mumsnet.com/Talk?topicid=1364&threadid=154037&stamp=060311135634\here}
Turned out it was a medication side effect.

Gosh, i thought it would be really common also, thanks for the link. No medication though.........will relay all this info.

thank godnes it isnt you. I was sure I hadn't missed out on the birth of your third child. and I am sure lyou were not breastfeeding your little one last time we met!

Yes, I was faintly perturbed at your extended breastfeeding prowess too.

I've actually had three more children while i've been away, irish, welsh and english, wanted to balance out the family. Long live Britain.

i get a bit of leaking... often find wet bits on my pajamas. i stopped bf almost 2 .5 years ago... i was told by someone once that some people will always do this!!!!!!

Had a bit of leakage at my last check-up. It had been over a year since I last bf, dr. said it was totally normal.

HTH

Thanks x

An excess of prolactin (the milk producing hormone) can be a cause of this. A blood test would determine the level of this hormone in your bloodstream.

Too high a level of prolactin can affect ovulation so it ought to be treated. It can be treated with tablets.

Thanks Meerkat, im ringing her now and will read this down the phone ( im not giving her a link)
