    Strange things going on with my boobs!

    I've been noticing some strange goings on recently with my boobs. They've suddenly become fuller and both started leaking clear fluid. Not a lot but enough for me to notice when wearing a singlet top. They've even been a bit pregnant like tender at times.
    I can't be pregnant as my DH had a vasectomy in Dec 2010.

    I stopped feeding my last child in March and by April I had not one drop of milk left. I squeezed a few times to be sure! Lol.
    I have recently lost 30kgs (since March) and had commented to my DH that my boobs need filling up as they were feeling sad and saggy but suddenly they're feeling full again.
    Anyone had, or heard of, anything like this before? I'm going to bring it up with my GP at my next appt but it's not really worrying me it just confused me more than anything.

    Probably not very helpful, but I have read about women getting pregnant years after their husbands vasectomies.

    That is weird! My mum said she got colostrum after her hysterectomy.

    I get colostrum all the time, usually before I ovulate. I haven't breast fed for over 11 years.

    at my old workplace a guy's wife found out she was pregnant and he had a vasectomy 14 years before then. it can happen and has been known to happen. might be worth doing a test just to make sure.

    Strange things going on with my boobs!

    My girlfriend started getting milk when I, and a couple of her other friends, were all pregnant around the same time.... coincidence?? i don't know, but she went to the doc and got medication to dry it up.
    Eta: she hadn't bf for four years prior to that.

    I would get a breast check done hun. I had milk for nearly a year after DS but also found a lump around that time that was all clear but any fluid from breasts can also be a sign of something else going on. xxx

    I know someone who had this issue, caused by a tumour on the pituitary, messing with hormones. Get checked out, just to e safe.

    Best to get this checked out - it can be a sign of pituitary or hormonal imbalances, plus you should always get any breast changes checked.

    Thanks everyone. I'm seeing my Dr in 2 weeks so I'll bring it up then. I'll probably do a hpt before I go too. I have ridiculous cycles and haven't had AF since August 1. That's completely normal for me though. I think when this happened that I was ovulating as I had some spotting too. Hopefully that's all it was.
