Is This a Sign of Pregnancy? Posted: 10-11-03 23:33pm


Hi, recently I have noticed that a milky liquid comes out of my nipples if any pressure is applied around them. I think that it is a form of breast milk but I thought you only had breast milk if you are pregnant. Is this true or is it normal for this to be happening to me? I am 17 years old and sexually active and i'm affraid that I could be pregnant allthough its still to soon to take a test. Could someone please help me out with this question? Thank you.

Nipple Discharge Posted: 10-12-03 00:31am


Dear growinup, nipple discharge is not a sign of pregnancy, so I don't think you need to worry about that. Many women have some type of nipple discharge or fluid when their breasts are squeezed, and its normal. Some women are more prone to discharge than others. Usually women on birth control pills, certain blood pressure medications or tranquilizers. You mentioned you are 17, it is actually more common in teenage girls and then again at menopause than any other age group. I think you need to start worrying if the discharge comes out by itself without squeezing your nipples. If it is sticky or has blood in it, then that is also a reason to be concerned. Good luck, .::suzy::.

That could be a sign but I wouldn't get all worked up. Before I found out I was pregnant I was having white stuff coming out my nipple and my breast were twice as big than normal.

Pregnancy. Posted: 11-10-04 00:34am


I have a two year old little boy and I think I might be pregnant again. But it is to soon for me to test as well. I recently switched birth control methods so there was a lapse in time where having sex could have gotten me pregnant. By the way thanks doc for telling me that one!!! Lol, but I would very happy to find out I was pregnant and it has only been about 8 days since the time where I could have conceived. I am allready having breast tenderness, and discharge exactly like I did when I was pregnant (but it started at about 6 months the first time!) and food aversions, cravings, vomiting from smells!!! And I am wondering is it even possible for me to be having all of these symptoms so quickly? I did switch to the nuva ring which has half the hormones of ortho tri but could that even cause so many problems so quickly?!? I am so confused. Does anyone have any answers?
