OK my history so far.....Had DD 5/02 breast milk completely dried up around her 3 month mark. I did not breast feed. Well now she is 15 months and my breasts have been tingly for a couple weeks and some clear sticky (colostrum?) discharge followed by a couple drops of milky discharge when pressed.

I was on the pill from when I had her to June. Missed a few pills at beginging of July pack so did not take that month. Had a period at begining of July (on the pill) then a 3 day period at end of July (not on pill). I also had a yeast infection at begining of July (don't usually get these)doc tested me for all sorts of stuff as have also been having abdomen pains. So far nothing has been wrong and urine test at doc was negative that was in July though). Doc ordered an u/s to check for scar tissue and or cysts ect.. I go back on the 8th of Sept to find out results but it is driving me nuts. He doesn't know about the breast milk/discharge yet as it just happened a few days ago at begining of a period (1st month being back on pill after month off). It seemed like a normal 5 day period. But I am still having lots of breast tenderness, areolas def. look pg, and feel flutters once in awhile (may be my imagination though LOL).

I think I am gonna break down and take another home pg test (took last ones in July). DH says to wait and save money since going to the doc but I cannot stand waiting another whole week!

What do you all think?

Thanks ~Steph

Well you could be messed up from being on and off b/c the way you have...but its a possiblity to be pregnant still. My DH is the same about the money issue...I have to sneak and buy a test (lol) he hates spending money on them. I know testing would ease your mind a little bit. A week can sure go buy slow when you have only one thing on your mind. I would say just talk to DH...and maybe buy a cheaper one or something. Or go to a free clinic just to take a test...for most a pregnancy test is done just on a walk in basis.

Thanks for posting to me. Well took a test (DH is at work so went and got one LOL) it was negative so guess we will have to see what Doc says on the 8th now. I know my mom had messed up hormone issues so I may be following in her footsteps!
