I stopped nursing my daughter about 3 months ago. Now I'm late for AF (my cycles returned awhile ago and have been totally normal)and I've got breastmilk leaking a small amount. Could it still be from weaning her, or is 3 months long enough for it to be totally gone? Maybe this is a pg symptom???? Thanks for any info!

I breastfed both my kids. It's possible you coul be pregnant, or that your body is re-adjusting. I stop breastfeeding my son in May and I still sometimes get leakage of milk. When I stopped breastfeeding my daughter it took almost 9 months before I was completely dried up. I know some women it has taken almost a year to completely dry up after breastfeeding. About your cycle it could be getting re-adjusted also. I had 3 normal cycles after I started to wean and now they are irregular. I also get midcycle bleeding some months, other months early, late etc. I know I am not pregnant b/c I had a tubal after my son.

It's also possible you could be pregnant.

Hope this has helped.
