A few years ago I got my prolactin checked because I had some drops. DD was about two. Nothing was found...I am slightly hypothyroidic. Not on medication though. Wonder if it's that??
I will hunt down Minnie!!!
Thanks everyone!!
If anyone else has possible explanations, please feel free to add them!!
I lactate when I have antidepressants.... specifically ones that have serotonin in them. I have never been pregnant... but I lactate like a boss when on AD's.
Get to the docs hun, get your prolactin levels checked. They might send you for a head scan as tumors on the pituitary gland can cause a rise in prolactin.
Mine ended up being the AD's but I had all my bloods done and the head scans etc just to make sure everything was okay. Endocrinologist's explanation for me was that I have "boobs that know what they are doing" as soon as there is an increased level of serotonin
My mum told me that the same thing happens to her from time to time. She thinks its normal, a bit weird considering she couldnt BF any of us kids as she didnt have a great amount of supply. But she puts it down to being clucky..
yep for me it is because of high prolactin, i would suggest having yours checked, mine is usually over 1000 when i get milk like that (normal is about 80-500) and i usually score myself an CT scan or MRI for my troubles, it is easy to drop the level, im only medication weekly for it because when it is high it stops me from ovulating because my body already thinks its pregnant, very frustrating
