Hello, I'm new here, although I have been reading the posts on this site for a couple of months now. I wasn't sure where to post this so also posted in tww.
I hope my question makes sense and I'll try to be as brief as I can!
I am not currently ttc but we use withdrawal, my boyfriend isn't keen on ttc at the moment but I admit I'd be more than happy if I were to get pregnant now - so every month I do tend to symptom spot just incase! I've paid close attention to my body for a few years now so notice anything unusual.
I have 3 children (youngest is 6) and I breastfed them all. Sorry if this is TMI but since I stopped breastfeeding my youngest, I have been able to squeeze a drop of clear liquid from one breast - used to always be the left one but i took the mini pill for 7 months last year and since then it's been the right breast for some reason lol - I guess it was the change in hormones. This cycle since 4dpo I've had an increase in this and it is now in both breasts. The strange thing is, I wasn't really expecting anything to come out that early (as it's normally only there the week or so leading up AF), I checked my bb's partly out of habit in the tww but mostly because I had strange mild cramps after
that night and it got me wondering if the cramps were a very early pg sign. I was totally surprised that not only was it in both bb's but in one was a big thick creamy drop and I remembered this was an early sign when I was pg with my daughter.
I'm now 7 dpo and still have it in both bb's but not as much as on 4 dpo when I first checked. So I'm not wanting to get my hopes up, especially as 4 dpo is extremely early for symptoms, and I've been trying to think of anything else that could cause a hormonal change after all these years, and the only thing I can think of at the moment is my thyroid medication which I have been taking since the beginning of the year, I was told I was borderline low and am taking the lowest possible dose of thyroxine and my levels are now ok.
I know thyroid problems can cause all sorts of symptoms so does anyone know if thyroid medication could cause this? I have been taking the same medication since the beginning of the year but 2 weeks ago I was given a different brand but was told the tablets were the same as my old ones, I don't know if this would make any difference. I've tried to google for any answers but can't find any, sorry this has been so long and thanks to anyone who reads! I have been feeling confused but do feel a little better now I feel I've told someone.
