Is Breast Milk Being Produced Due To Birth Control Pills?

i am 3 weeks late for my period. did UPT, the 1st one gave me blur result. to make sure, i make another test and it showed negative. then i started to take birth control pill. after that, i found that my right breast is leaking with milk when i pressed it. to make sure im not pregnant, i have done 5 more UPT on different days and the results are negatives. should i be worried about im being pregnant or not? or is it because the birth control pill makes my breast produce milk?

Hi.

I've gone through your query. I can understand your anxiety.

U can wait for a maximum of 45days since your last menstrual cycle to confirm pregnancy. I advice you to do serum beta HCG test which is more reliable than HPT.

Also birth control pills to influence milk secretion in a non feeding women is rare. So do serum prolactin levels to rule out any underlying pathology & consult your gynaecologist for further assistance.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Get well soon.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
