Something is coming out of my boobs

[theshametheshame]

Just a tiny bit, looks like milk. Definitely not pregnant. What's going on?

did you squeeze them??

Nope, just noticed it coming out of the shower.

out of both or one?

both of 'em

mmmm sure you ain't pregnant?? sorry if it had been one I would have said to see the doctor, but both??

Just finished AF a day or two ago (aren't you glad you asked?)

how odd

Do they hurt?

Isn't it, OR? They're not sore at all. MN is disappointing me, felt sure by now I'd be filling up with replies along the lines of "Oh I get that all the time, it's X"

Am afraid it's never happened to me. But maybe the next MNer to come along will have experienced it I might just be the odd one out.

Think maybe a trip to the GP might be an idea.

How old are your DC? Could it be left over milk? If you recently stopped breastfeeding, I mean.

Stopped bfing Sept last year. Do you think if I stuck dd on there I would... relactate? (Purely theoretical question; dd has formidable gnashers and a mischievious streak.)

Don't know. Only one way to find out...

go to gp - they can test your prolactin level (blood test)and check out generally
prob fine but worth checking out!
i've seen it once with a lady who stopped bf 2 year before and everything was normal, but need to do the tests

Just googled prolactin and discovered I may have cancer, hypothyroidism or be taking anti-psychotic drugs. The internet is so reassuring.

I was going to say Google it but didn't for exactly that reason. It is probably nothing but do get it checked out.

I definitely still had milk in my breasts 4-6months after quitting - don't panic yet!

This can be caused by an excess of prolactin hormone. Your level of this can be determined via a blood test. It can be treated with tablets.

I'm sure I've read about women who've leaked milk months and months after stopping breast feeding. maybe try posting on the bfeeding thread, you may get some more info there

ooo sorry just logged on hope i didn't panic you
other things (eg cancer!) unlikely if you don't have any symptoms..its probably to do with it hanging around from bf but is worth trip to gp.
if you believed everything you read on the net you'd be dying from every minor symptom so don't worry..

Mine still leak tiny ammounts now and again .
My Dd is two

I have leaked over a year after stopping bf.

I had such a strong let down when feeding that after a long conversation with a friend about bf (a year later) i leaked!! Very bizarre.

I still get some milk coming out 6 months aftet stopping BF..my DD is 15 months old.

oops I mean 4 months after..I stopped in September!!

Phew! I'm not alone!

same here I only just have 'dry' boobs after finishing BF in June 06

I get this all the time since dd1 who is 4,was born.So does my mum.I don't know what it is but my mum has had it for 40 years,so I'm not worried about it either.
