Nipple discharge

Hello everyone. Ive recently split with my boyfriend (well he decided to just cut me off and block me everywhere out of his life after a long few months of emotional abuse and torture ) and I’ve been getting more and more poorly as time goes on, and as time went on in the relationship. I’ve been rapidly losing weight/ have a constant pain in my right side just under my ribcage that will not go away. I’ve had tonnes of tests done and they can’t find the cause of the pain . I have an ultrasound on my live/gallbladder next week.I’ve been on Dihydrocodeine /Cyclazine and doxycycline (antibiotics) for a week or so now. I’ve also been on Microgynon contraceptive pills since December.

I’ve been extremely stressed, anxious, depressed and upset lately. Pushed to my limits, questioning my sanity and reality.
Tonight I noticed that my tummy is looking more bloated than usual, I put it down to the codiene “backing me up” a bit as my stools are harder. I have been sick twice but I put it down to taking my tablets on an empty stomach and not eating properly due to stress . . I’ve had no boob pain infact my boobs have actually shrunk considerably in size too since going on this pill 🫠, but out of interest I checked my boobs and noticed my nipples are slightly darker. My nipples have always been my first Indicator of pregnancy with my two kids, I squeezed them (like I used to do to express milk but I did it really hard where it hurt ) and to my absolute horror- clear discharge came out, of both of my boobs!!

now I’m absolutely terrified I’m pregnant. And maybe even about 8 weeks gone. We had sex at Christmas time. Many times.

I had my usual withdrawal bleed when I came off the pill at the end of January for my 7 daybreak . I don’t bleed heavily usually. I also did a clearblue pregnancy test (not first thing in the morning but it was earlier in the day) as I wanted to rule anything out anyway and it was negative.
i also started bleeding randomly out of the blue a week after my period. It was only for a day or two. But it happened after an extremely upsetting, distressing incident for me so I put it down to stress, at the time I was absolutely in pieces , trying to save my relationship, thinking he might have been cheating on me. I know stress can affect hormones.

I have been extremely fatigued, insanely, dozing off on the spot. I am not sleeping well though, like 2 hours a night so it might explain it but I remember being that tired when I was pregnant too. I had a random acne/rash breakout the other day too on my cheeks, it went away pretty fast though the next day. I’m the thinnest I’ve ever been , apart from my lower tummy which is a ledge thanks to 2 c sections.

Question I wanted to ask is - do leaking nipples always mean a pregnancy? Can the medication I’m taking cause this too?
Has anyone else experienced this and it’s not been pregnancy and maybe been on similar medication to me?

im so scared that I’m pregnant. If I am I will have to get an abortion, I’ve never had one before and I do think it will be traumatic for me.
no other option for me though: I don’t want to tell him, I don’t want to talk to him again after the way he’s treated me.

Please block this man and have no further contact with him.

Test with a FRER with FMU.
You're very likely not pregnant and just torturing yourself. Your nipples were not leaking. You squeezed them hard enough to hurt and produced something that indicates nothing. Have you had to do that to confirm a pregnancy before now? They'd be unlikely to leak anyway in very early pregnancy.
You've been on birth control regularly.
Acknowledge the pain this man has caused you and stop obsessing that you might be early pregnant and leaping to oh I'll get an abortion.
I think you need to give yourself a good hard shake. You've been pregnant twice before. Did you go to these extremes then?

Thanks both. I’ve just tested and it’s negative. Thank god’ I’m going to do one more test first thing in morning but I guess something weird is just going on with my body instead!
I’m going to come off the pill I think.
I hate this man for what he’s done to me , he’s ruined my mind
