confused  Okay, so I have a two year old son and had a miscarriage last October.  Also about a year ago i dont remember exactly when, but my breasts leaked colostrum for about a week.  I didn't go to the doctor because I got my period and thought that I was fine.  Well my body has been telling me that I'm pregnant.  I know what it feels like since I had two pregnancies.  Anyway, my breasts are fuller and leaking colostrum and also I get waves of nausea and heartburn.  Both happened with my pregnancies.  I dont think I'm really pregnant and cant find out for another week or so.  Has anyone ever heard of or experienced these things and not been pregnant?  I am guessing that maybe I have a thyroid or hormone problem if I'm not pregnant.  What should I do? Thanks!

HI Racheal
I have heard of women who have had a real belief and all the SX of a pregnancy
They want to be preggars so bad there bodies will trick them into it

THere is an actual medical name for this
I will have to have a look as I am forgetting so much lately

If I were you I would be seeing your doc and finding out just what may be going on with your hormones
\
I am sure there is a cause for this

Plz keep us posted
Wish I was more help

One step at a time sweetie.  Are not the home pregnancy kits accurate and able to use pretty soon after becoming pregnant.

Try tosing out all the other throughts of what it might be.  Rule out the pregnancy first and then take it from there.

Take care of you .......hugs

Hey all.
I have been soooo exahsted lately I can hardly even log on here. Sorry about that. And I cant remember when I started my last period so I dont even know what day I'm supposed to start. I still feel very pregnant. My breasts are still full and leaking. Plus my emotions are CRAZY!!! I am still getting the nausea in spells at different times of the day. But I have a test in my bathroom. I am going to wait until the 5th of August to take it and of course I will let all of you know. I dont know what I'll do if I am pregnant though. I have so much going on now, how can I handle 2 kids? Dont get me wrong. I would love to have another baby and every time I see someone elses babies I get all melty. BUt there is just no way I am stable enough right now to do this. I am torn. Maybe I'm just having a hormone problem? Have any of you had your breasts leak 2 years after your milk dried up? Is it just me? Thanks for your concern and advice! See, my biggest worry is that I'll have to stop taking Paxil alltogether if I am pregnant because it causes birth defects. So I'm afraid I would totally go off the deep end. I'm not going to worry about it until I'm late though. I'll keep yall updated. Love to you all!

PLZ quit worrying self into panic mode hun it may well be your hormones .........
I have heard of women leaking after a couple of yrs not many but a couple anyways
PLUS there are some safe meds out there you can swith
I know Paxil has been your life saver but you might just have to switch you are preggars

Please know we are all behind you no matter what the outcome is and your decision is
