Possibly Pregnant, Sort of Lactating, On the Shot Posted: 10-08-04 18:41pm
First off shes 16 and so am i... We live
together and are on our own and thinking
about getting married.
Well my girlfriend started the
shot(depo-provera) 2 months ago (august
5). We waited much longer than the doctor
said we had to to have unprotected sex.
Since we have been having unprotected sex.
She spotted really lightly during her
normal periods both months... I got
concerned the first month so I did some
investigating then and it turned up that
this is normal is the shot stops ovulation
so a period may be really light or stop
all together.
Now about 30min ago we were fooling
around and we noticed that she had
lactated... She told me to taste it and
it did not taste like regular breast
milk(dont ask how I know)... Is was sour
and tasted like regular cow milk... There
was very little of it, but she could
squeez it out, but no more than a drop.
Now here is my question, when would a
woman start lactating during a normal
pregnancy? Also she has shown no signs of
pregnancy. She has shown symptoms from
the shot( small weight gain around 2lbs,
brown spotting instead of period).
Now, we do know for sure that if a
baby was concieved it was right around 2
months ago because we waited 4 days(until
she got off her period) we fallowed the
directions exactly for the shot...
Oh and one more thing.... She lactated
once before but only once and only in one
breast and it was very little, and I
believe she was on the pill at the time.
Also we had just gotten done working out
(very stressful cardio and lots of
sweating) so maybe this is a build up of
something...?
So is the lactating a sign of pregnancy at
2 months? Would the hormones in the shot
make her lactate? Or what would cause
this?
Also a general question when do women
start lactating?
If you have any questions post and I will
get back asap, she has gone to work and I
have nothing to do but sit here and
worry...

All I really have to say is I was on the
shot once and I know that it messed me up
pretty good. I didn't have my period for
a year. But I think she should maybe talk
to someone if she thinks she is pregnant.
Take a test, take to your parents,
something!
