Colostrum Question

I would definitely go to the doctor to find out what's going on. It is possible that it could be a breast infection (see the WebMD article: http://www.webmd.com/hw/health_guide_atoz/sig56017.asp?na...) And it is also possible that you could be pregnant. No birth control is 100% effective and somebody has to make up that 2-3% failure rate! (I know that's not what you wanted to hear though!)

BTW, my friend had an IUD and it stopped her period. Not sure why or how that works but it did.

It could be a hormonal change. Check with your doctor. And yes, certian IUD's do cause "missed periods." That is the main attraction to the Mirena.

I had an IUD before my last child and loved it. But, they are not for everyone, and they are not as "maintenance free" as some say. They do need to be checked regularly. Your doctor should have explained this, as well as given you literature regarding such.

I also had leakage from my breasts after my middle child was born, but only upon manipulation. This occured up until he was around three.

Call your doctor, maybe it is time for a check up too.

definitely go to the doctor...iud's dont normally stop your period if i remember correctly...the only other thing that i know of that causes discharge from the nipples is cancer so i am thinking you would rather be pregnant! either way, go to the doctor...:) good luck and let us know how it turns out...:)

I'd suggest you check with the doctor to confirm whether or not you are pregnant. I have several friends with "IUD babies."
