So for those of you who don't know, I recently started my journey with secondary IF. Quick history rundown: prior ovarian torsion, 1 prior miscarriage, PCOS diagnosis, endometriosis diagnosis (removed April 2012), 3 rounds of Clomid in 2012, conceived May of 2012, gave birth January 2013, no prevention since September of 2013, last period 12/16, two negative pregnancy tests, recently finished 10 day Provera...NOW my breasts are super tender and I am lactating! Yes, there is clearish discharge from both breasts (mostly the left). I did not and am not BFing my daughter and milk production had stopped four months after she was born. Why is this happening? Is this a symptom of Provera, or should I take a third pregnancy test? I also looked into Pituitary micro adenomas and hyperpituitarism since I am overweight and have a nearly complete absence of periods that I always thought was due to my PCOS...I am of course going to test, and call my doctor if negative, but can anyone give me any other ideas as to why I might be lactating?

This happened to me the other day I posted about it if you want to look back and I guess if it's been less than a year it can be common my RE is going to double check my prolactin level and my beta today so I'll let ya know but I am in different meds than you and have only been diagnosed with PCOS also breasted till 15months which was about 7 months ago. Sorry for the long sentence I'm on my phone.
Positive Pregnancy test today. Very scared now because I just finished the Provera a little less than a week ago (10mg, 10 days), had a CT scan Monday after a negative pregnancy test last week, and took an anti-anxiety pill (Klonopin) on Tueaday. Someone please ease my anxiety...so terrified this will end in miscarriage.

Ok - well I don't think the Klonopin will hurt too bad. Is it good? Probably not great BUT think of all the crazies that give birth to healthy full term babies on meth and crap.
The CT scan...I'm sure women have done it before (or worse) and not known.
The provera would worry me the most but, it's stuck so far so...
I would TRY not to freak out and get to see a dr ASAP and tell them everything.
Hang in there! I know nothing I said can really help but (hugs) - deep breaths.

I've been to the ER. Bleeding turned bright red. Probable miscarriage...trans-vaginal ultrasound showed a completely empty uterus. HCG level was only 111, indicating 2 weeks which doesn't add up to what should've been our conception date. Redoing HCG bloodwork Monday to confirm levels are dropping.

I'm sorry this is happening. When you are well and recovered from all of this feel free to pm me. You may want to keep an eye on the lack of cycle/lactating thing. I have something similar going on. Best to you.
