What is going on with me...plz help!?!


Question:

What is going on with me...plz help!?

I started lactating last Sunday. Then on Tuesday my breast started hurting and they are still sore. I only lactate if I squeeze my boobs to check, they just don't leak. Thursday I went to the doctor and she said she thought this was all for my period, she thought it was about to start so therefore I should come back in 2 weeks to get it checked out again. She ordered a blood test to check my Thyroid and a Pregnancy test. The Pregnancy test came back negative, yet still no period (I should have started on the 5th). I go from hot and cold, temp. wise sporadically and I'm a little more hungry than normal and if I don't eat I get really sick to my stomach. Has this happened to anyone? Does anyone have any suggestions because I don't think a blood test could be wrong.


Answers:

I hope that your doctor did bloodwork to check your prolactin levels as well.

This happened to me a while ago. I was not pregnant, I knew that I wasn't. I called my gyn, she checked my prolactin levels... they were elevated. She sent me for an MRI of my brain. Turns out that the cause of everything is a pituitary tumor.

Don't panic. These things are benign. :) This is probably what is going on with you. Make sure that your doctor is doing a prolactin level check.

I do have hypothyroidism as well... given your temps, you probably have something going on with that, too. Nothing to worry about. This lactation thing, though is not necessarily related to the thyroid.
