I stopped brestfeeding my 3 1/2 month old son about 8 weeks ago and the milk had almost disappeared but over the past couple of days my breasts seem to be a lot heavier and now I seem to be getting more milk!!! I wrote a message yesterday about my symptoms but today had a HPN even though AF is due tomorrow. What do you all think of this? Ever happened to anyone or know of someone it has happened to? Is thisa sign of pregnancy?

Hi,

I know when I stopped breast-feeding, it took a while for my milk to dry up, it would seem like it was almost gone and then I would wake up in a lake(lol). My breasts leaked for almost 6 months, always just when I thought it was safe to leave the nursing pads at home.

However, if your hormones are fluctuating and y ou are pregnant, I'm sure that could be causing a milk surplus right now.

It's hard to wait until AF is due, but that's pretty much all you can do right now.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
