For the past 3 weeks my nipples have been leaking. It has gotten more frequent and heavier over this week. I am not pregnant (that I know of.) Chances are almost zero that I am pregnant also due to PCOS. Has anyone else had this happen to them while they weren't pregnant? I am going to call my OB on Monday and talk to him about it. Thanks in advance.
Yes, leaking on their own. I don't have to squeeze my nipples to get anything out. I can even press on my breast (like in the shower when I was washing this morning) and that will cause them to leak too. Yes, we are trying to get pregnant. It has been almost 2 years of trying, but due to my PCOS I will need help with fertility drugs to get pregnant.
Have the doc check your prolactin levels. Your hormones could be out of whack.
Try taking some Benadryl in the meantime, until you can see your doc, that will help dry you up... I'd also take a pregnancy test JUST in case. My 3rd pregnancy, I started leaking when I was about 3 months along! ANNOYING!
Just happened this summer to me ! Mine were off and on leaking though. I had them checked by my gyn/ob. She was pretty sure they were harmone related but went ahead and did bloodwork and had me have a mammogram & sonogram. Sure enough - nothing wrong - just harmones. Nothing to do but deal with it. They still have minor leaks - mainly at night but for the most part have kind of subsided. I would check with your doctor and also go ahead and take an over the counter pregnancy test just to check.
I did once, I was drinkking alot of herbal tea with fenugeek in it. GRRR, it also made my fatty tumor grow. Stopped injesting it, and the tumor is shriking and no more leaks. Could be hormonal, or something else, but often times are diets can have adverse affects on us.
Leaking on their own? Or do you have squeeze them to get the fluid out?
If I squeeze mine, even WAY before having mikey they would squirt (TMI) out white liquid. I had my prolactin (sp) levels checked and all was well. Are you trying to get pregnant?
I would call him TODAY, so I'm not 'stressing' over it all weekend :-)
Check your pituatary glad. Go to an endocrinologist and have them check you----your hormones are out of wack. I had this when I was 14!!!! it was not fun---lactating when you don't have a baby or are not pregnant---so get it checked out and you will be fine. Takes a few weeks on meds for the lactating to stop and you have to be VERY careful about bumping them. GL
