Q: Clear substance leaking from breast

Hi,
About 4 days ago I started leaking a clear white substance from my right breast. Then 3 days ago after I finished using the restroom then wiped myself I saw dark brownish streaks on my toilet paper so I started wearing pantie liners thinking I was about to start, but still nothing. On top of that I've been cramping and gassy for a month this has never happened to me before. I don't think I'm pregnant because my boyfriend and I are ALWAYS careful we ALWAYS use condoms plus he always pulls out before he comes. I'm just scared could it be a infection or pregnancy???

It sounds like you could be pregnant. The clear white substance that is leaking from your breast is called collostrum. It's the substance that comes before the milk. Occasionally it will leak during pregnancy.
Just so you know, pulling out doesn't work. Condoms are good, but him pulling out has no effect on pregnancy. You can still get pregnant and also, sometimes condoms break and/or leak.
I would get a pregnancy test. It wouldn't hurt to rule that out at this point. If you aren't pregnant, I would see your ob/gyn.

I agree

I totally agree with Marianne0058. You gonna dance.....you gotta pay the fiddler! If you were my daughter, I'd say go to planned parenthood clinic and get birth control other than condoms....do everything you possibly can to ensure you don't get pregnant! Good luck!
