Hello there. okay, im 17years old and scared that I might be pregnant. I should have started my period today or earlier this week, and I dont have any signs that it will come at all. My breast have been really sensitive lately and i am lactating a little already. Am I pregnant? If you know anything or have any ideas on what I should do, please let me know. Thank you.

hi hun!!
=)
have you had unprotected sexual intercourse in the past few months?
i say once you have missed your period take a home pregnancy test
and that should give you a pretty good answer...

Hi
Lactating already? I have never known a woman who was not pregnant to lactate.....one has to be pregnant to produce milk????????? Are you for certain you are lactating? I think you need to go to the health department, see a Dr. maybe get a pregnancy test.

You actually have to have a baby suckle before you begin to lactate.

What?
I began lactating in my 6th month of pregnancy. My daughter was still in the womb. Lactating if I am not mistaken and Websters Dictionary means: to secrete milk..thats what I did and no one "suckled me"???????

That wasn't milk. You were not lactating. That was colostrum and it was leaking. Your body does not produce milk until about 3 days after a baby is born and is nursing. This causes the engorgement. Your breasts stop making milk when the baby stops nursing. This is a natural process.

Ingi, what else could it be other then lactating? i've been 2 months pregnant before, but I had a miscarraige. It is creamy white and it taste like watered down sweet milk (my boyfriend tried it). My period was supposed to start around 4 days ago. I feel sick to my stomach before bed, and im always hungry, thirsty, and tired. And im currently feeling turned off when my man starts playing with me or when he wants sex. What else could all this be?

Hormones. If you are taking pregnancy tests and they are negative, then you'll need to go see a doctor.

If you stimulate your nipples enough, you can cause a creamy looking discharge to come out of them. So, if you've been feeling them a lot and checking them out, that could be the culprit.

However, I think you need to either make an appointment with your doctor or buy an HPT.
