    Umm if your breasts are leaking milk more than likely you are pregnant. You can still have your period and be pregnant. Usually your breast don't start leaking till your 4+ months along

    How old are you?

    Have you done a breast self exam to see if you have any masses in your breasts?

    You should visit a doctor to find out what is going on.

    I don't know for sure. You need to make a doctor's appointment first thing in the morning though.

    It could be a number of things that are either minor or major from simple hormonal disturbances all the way to breast cancer (notice my pink ribbon, I am a 10 year breast cancer survivor).

    So you can see that it is important to get a diagnosis straight from your doctor.

    Thanks for reply,
    I'm now hopping I am pregnant, the thought of it being something more is scarey,
    I'll make an appointment first thing and let you know the outcome. Thank you so much for the advice. Xx

    It could be nothing more than hormones, or mastitis. Which is an inflammation of the breast tissue that antibiotics can clear up.

    Yes, breast cancer can be scary to some. But was the best thing that ever happened to me. So, it is all a matter of mind.

    Breasts leaking can also be due to a hormonal imbalance, high prolactine. I had very high prolactine at some point(no special reason, definitely not pregnant!) and I was told I might experience that. Thankfully, I didn't, but it could be that. Your doctor will tell you.

    You could always try a pregnancy test and see what results you get (be sure to follow the directions exactly). Have you been pregnant before?

    It could just be due to hormone changes with your cycle and your period will show up any day.
