Colostrum?

I know it's possible to still have colostrum way beyond breastfeeding, but I'm a little weirded out that I've had it for the last couple of days when I haven't had any in the last 6 months. Anyone else notice this? I'm due for AF around nowish so I'm guessing it's just hormones playing around in my body. Just odd.

    I can't speak for myself, but I know both my sisters had milk at random for about a year after they quit nursing.  So, what you have may not be colostrum, but milk.  And I do think it's possible to have it, even though you've not had any in a while.

    ETA:  either that or you're KU! :)

    The color led me to believe it would be colostrum (sorry, TMI). I doubt that I'm pregnant, we use condoms and I can't remember the last time we did anything, as bad as that sounds... LOL

    I noticed this sometimes - but mine was due to high prolactin levels.

    YES! Me!!! I noticed it the other day. Definitely Colostrum. I couldn't figure out why as I stopped BFing when DD was 10 months old...I wondered why I had it too...glad to know I'm not alone.

    I have the same thing.  I never notice if it's around AF time.  But I only BF for 3 weeks.  It's wierd.

    I stopped nursing right at a year, but still have colostrum. I'm glad to see this post, I'd been wondering about it too. My cousin, though its been 4 years since nursing, says she still notices it. I wasn't sure if I could believe her :/
