Title: Lactation is it problem or just part of puberty ?
Post by: Medusa on September 23, 2013, 03:13:48 AM
Hi,
I want to ask, I use androcur and injections (in pretty low dose when I compare it to pills) like 3/4 year and before was half a year on estrogel.
I have nice nice development, not in overal size, Im skinny and we dont have it in family, but it looks like other "flat" girls do.  ::)
Is it normal to become lactating in this phase? Not just clear liquid come out but nice milk :P Not much but few drops is there anytime.
I have very lax doctor, he never do any tests since we started, Ill stay with him until I get my papers to operation and then Ill leave, but want to know for now if I should do something or just enjoy it.

It started for me at two months on E and I've been lactating ever since

If I squeeze hard enough a lot can come out.  It's a side effect of the meds :P

Lactated not lacerated.   Is anyone using Motilium?  Do you want to lactate or is it unwanted?

I think most endocrinologists monitor prolactin levels. They shouldn't be too high.

Yes, it is quite common. I have lacerated. It doesn't take very much stimulation  of my breasts for lactation to start.
