Breast Leaking Milk 4 - 5DPO NORMAL?

June 26, 2008

Okay.. I had something weird happen today. I was checking to see if my nipples hurt (LOL) and I squeezed my breast a little and a white substance (like milk) came out. My daughter is two years old and I had to stop breast feeding at 6 months because my milk dried up. I haven't had this happen in a year and a half?

Is this a good sign or should I just chalk it up to good ol progesterone?

Obviously I never squeeze my boobs/nipples when not TTC so I don't know if my breast have always done this post-ovulation / pre-AF or not... but it sure was strange.

Also.. I had a lot of electric/sharp feeling pains in my breasts today. My breast typically don't ever hurt.. every once in a while a day or two before AF but she isn't supposed to show until July 4th/5th..

IDEAS?

This is not due to progesterone. Infact its due to prolactin harmones which inhibits ovulation and not a good thing during TTC. U need to see a Dr to check your prolactin levels if you dont get preggo after trying. Breasts hurting has nothing to do with pregnancy 4 DPO. Infact the pregnancy harmone only secretes after 6-7 dpo.

Well I'm not sure what DPO I am in. I could be Anywhere from 4 - 7 DPO. Is it bad if I am 6 - 7 DPO... would it be normal then?

I think I've already ovulated.. I guess I'm confused.

So.. just to make sure we are on the same page. If I don't get pregnant this go around.. I should have my prolactin checked?

I had the same thing happen--took off my bra one day and had wet spots. Turned out I had a tumor on my pituitary gland that was over-producing prolactin. I have never been pregnant, though, so yours may be due to something else. My tumor was pretty small and I was able to decrease it even more with meds--no big deal. Hope this helps!

I had my prolactin levels checked and they were fine. My doctor didn't seem to think it was anything to worry about.
