Hormone imbalance/ lactation ?
| Sun, 09-07-2003 - 9:12pm |
Well, I was about 4 days late, and having every symptom in the book, including lactation. My HPTs were coming out BFN, and my OPK were BFP. I went to the doctors on Saturday and he ran a HGC and Hormone check on my blood, he didn't think pregnant, but thought some sort of hormone imbalance causing lactation and pregnancy symptoms. This evening I got AF with a vengence very horrible cramps (I usually have none) and heavy bleeding.
Has anyone else had hormone imbalance problems with lactation, ect? I'm devestated about not being pregnant yet (ttc month 5 using Shettles method for girl- so we didn't expect instant results, but still). I'm mostly terrified that I have some type of problem that will involve treatments/more difficult or impossible time getting pregnant. I'm 25, DH is 32, and we had *no* problems concieving DD who is 4 1/2 now. We decided to have a baby, and boom, next month were pregnant.
Any advice?

Hope that helps.

I've had the same thing, I guess. I don't think it was lactation, just a clear discharge...started with just one nipple, then was both nipples. My doc was not at all concerned about it. What the other posters said about stimulation is right. Also, just could be some hormone shifts.
Definitely check with your doc to be sure though...but I've read that as long as it is not bloody or greenish, it should be okay.
Take care,

I was reading on another board here urmmmm the breastfeeding board, they were talking about nipple and breast soreness once AF started back up again while breastfeeding I think there were some vitimins they suggested taking which cut back on AF breast pain, I think maybe Calcium/magnesium combo or something. I'm sure you could ask there? They are really nice and would not chase you away or anything ;)
