Producing milk but not pregnant

[alwayswantedamrfrosty99]

my DS is 19 months old,i BF him for 2 weeks when he was born but milk stopped due to been anaemic, a few days ago i noticed a white liquid on my nipple when i was having a bath,i squeezed it and milk came out so i tried the other and it did the same

i am not pregnant i have done a test,i am taking the contraceptive pill cerazette and have looked up on line if this is a side effect of this pill but it doesnt say it is

does anyone have any idea why this is happening please ?

Not sure, some people always have milk residue if they try for it after having a baby even a couple of years down the line. It can also be a sign of a hormone issue which can indicate other stuff. Don't google and book an appt to see the GP. Can't hurt. .

actually i dont want to worry you but i had this many many months after stopping bfeeding and had to have an mri scan to rule out a tumour on my pituitary gland, this is VERY rare but they scanned me jst to be sure.

btw if it was the tumour, which like i said is RARE, its generally non cancerous and easily treated :)

but other things are much more often the cause such as a slight hormone imbalance taht will sort itself or even medication, some anti-depressants can cause milk production :)

anyway mine went away and they never found the cause and i am fine! so dont worry just get a quick check up wiht your gp :)

4mad is right (as are other posters)
Women's hormones are unpredicatable things sometimes, and lactation apart from pregnancy is not that unusual.
But you do need at least a basic blood hormone test taken at your GP's to rule out anything more serious.

Super-common and very rarely anything to worry about, especially if from both breasts, but see your GP as a precaution.

Wow I didn't know I was a rarity 4mad. I actually have the pituitary tumour. It is benign (they usually are) and it's easily treated with tablets. it's really nothing to worry about.

I had my youngest 5 years ago and didn't BF but it's only been in the last year that I don't get anything if I give them a little squeeze

There were a few drops for years, I mentioned it to the dr as I was also getting really bad breast pain for 2 wks each month but it was just hormonal. The lactation has finally stopped and the breast pain has got less now.

what i meant was the cause of milk production being a tumour on your pituitary gland is rare ifyswim? but its one of the things they check as these can cause it. i ahve no idea how 'rare' the pituitary tumours are, tho i was told they are pretty rare by th econsultant i saw :) anyway i am glad yours is being treated easily, A1980 and hope it doesnt cause you an problems xxx

thankyou for your replies,im going to make an appointment with my GP tomorrow,just to be on the safe side x
