I'm not a doctor, but I will try to answer to the best of my knowledge!.

It could be completely normal and harmless!. Especially with you taking birthcontrol!. With the pill, your body thinks its pregnant, thats why you don't get pregnant!. It emits the same hormones into your body, as the ones that occur during a real pregnancy, only in smaller doses!. The "liquid" is more than likely being secreated by your milk glands!. Some women have this problem!. If thats the case, you're basically lactating!. Though its not much, because there is no baby!. Yet the milk glands can beome engorged and produce small amounts of fluid from the nipple while on BC!.

I wouldn't worry to much about it!. However if its bothering you, ask your doctor!. Also if your breasts are really tender or sore, or there's an odd lump or anything in there, definitely get checked!. Also, DEFINITELY if the fluid coming out changes from cloudy to pus colored, or bloody, go to the hospital IMMEDIATELY for an exam!. Fluid discharge of those colors and substances usually are a symptom of breast cancer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you should get your prolactin level checked!. i had this problem and i saw doctors and found out that i have a small tumor in my pituitary gland that causes your prolactin levels to rise!. prolactin is the hormone that causes you to produce breast milk!. get it checked to make sure!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Why do you need progesterone pills!? Preventing pregnancies!? How long have you been on these pills!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
