nipple discharge after starting pill

Hi. I recently had a GYN exam, (breast exam and pap) - everything was normal. Yesterday I started taking the pill (It's monday, I started my period on saturday) and last night noticed a clear, almost cloudy white discharge from my nipples, but only when I squeezed them. I know that I am not pregnant, and have read that this can be caused by a hormonal change from taking birth control, and if this is so, will the discharge stop soon, as my body adapts to the hormones released by the pill? Or will this continue throughout the entire time I am on the pill?

Nipple discharge is a more rare side effect that we don't hear about too much.
