Or at least give them a call and see if it's a normal side effect of the hormones. I wish I knew enough to tell you not to worry, but if I were in your shoes I would be worried too. I suspect it's just colostrum, which in and of itself isn't worrying, but it does mean that your body is thinking that it's pregnant. I think. I'm not a medical doctor so I'm the farthest thing from an authority on this.

In short: Yeah. Call your doctor. :)

This happened to me a few weeks after starting HRT, and stopped almost as fast as it started. Probably nothing to worry about! But if you want to play it safe as possible, do call your doctor. I didn't, but I don't have a track record of playing it safe :P

I totally understand. I haven't started HRT myself, so I have no idea what to expect. I'm hoping to start sometime this month, though, and this would have worried me, too.

When your on spiro, make sure to drink plenty of water and watch the potassium.

It  isn't all that rare. It happened to my wife and that was after a while a hormones. If I remember right it may have been Provera related. It's all haze since it is very ancient history, like well over 30 years ago.

So I wouldn't freak out over it. To be safe give the doc a call Monday to get the final word

Hey~
It has to do with hormone levels. It use to happen to me quite a bit but not so much any more. They might just adjust what your taking and when you take it. But yeah . The clear nipple covers in the mean time at places like Walmart that's what you may want to get in the mean time so you don't leak through your tops

:) thanks luckily its only happening when i squeeze them so no leaking through tops

I get that sometimes.  It is just colostrum.  Nothing major to worry about, unless it is a flood.  But you can see your doctor, if you are worried.

First time it happened to me was about week 3 and totally had the short mark like I was breast feeding or something I about freaked too.  Its totally a normal side effect of Spiro even listed in the drug facts

Happens to me, too. In fact, i made a similar freak out thread like this one a couple months ago. Checked at doc and after blood tests everything was normal.
