Could Missing Periods And White Discharge From Breasts Be Due To Pregnancy?

I am an 18 year old girl who recieved a birth control shot in august. I have gained a little bit of weight since then. I have also not had my menstrual cycle in about a month, and have taken 5 pregnancy test every couple weeks, all of which have come back negative. recently my left breast has been leaking a white substance. could this be a sign of pregnancy or something else?

Hallow Dear,

Missing a period with secretions form the breasts is highly suggestive of pregnancy. However, even after a month of missed period, your pregnancy tests are negative, it is likely that the pregnancy might have been wasted. Please get ultrasonography done to confirm that you have not landed in missed abortion. If so you need evacuation of the uterus.

If the uterus is empty, you may have been landed in hormonal imbalance. Please get your hormonal profile done : FSH, LH, Prolactin, TST, T3, T4. High Prolactin levels do cause milk secretions in non pregnant state also. If the levels of Prolactin are more than 50, you may have to undergo X-ray skull to have a look at the Pituitary gland.

If there is no pregnancy, you may take Tab. Deviry for 5 days and then within 4-7 days, you should get withdrawal bleeding.

Please report to a Gynaecologist.
