Do areolas shrink while on BE? Mine look like they did... Could it also be because of cold weather? I heard that they change colors too...  |

Hi Lild, Areolas do tend to change while on BE. They will change colors, deep red is common.  And a good sign...they will also look budded, like a girl that is just sproutin'  |

I've read on the board that some people also secret white stuff from their nipples? Progestin? How does that happen?? Pammy - wow, you are inspirational! |

LilD, eerrr, that white stuff...that was 'milk' from glands. Happens frequently with new moms..for as much as up to two years after weaning. If you haven't had children..that shouldn't be a problem. It's an indicator for sure that prolactin levels are high, but everything's a balance..not enough estrogen, and/or too much progesterone, and you STILL won't store fats in the breasts, which is the testimony of some ladies here, unfortunately. |

It is more than likely "colestrum" which is not milk but the inductory to milk production. Shortly after a woman gives birth breasts will produce this prior to milk. The milk generally comes in 2-4 days later. So as long as you are NOT producing milk, it's fine;. Chances are it happens with women who breast fed recently, I think there are few that are experiencing it and haven't breast fed in a LOOOONG time. |

ummm, white stuff from yr nipples - in my case (no children) I've been told it's prolactin. High prolactin apparently means good chance of growth - but as said above, mine was high before I started, and I never grew then! I think it's a "don't worry if it doesn't happen but if it does, it MAY be a good sign" kinda thing - unless of course you've got any discomfort with it.

Women who have had babies are pretty much capable of producing milk anytime thereafter under the right circumstances.
Prolactin is the hormone produce in the pituitary gland that causes this to happen. High levels of estrogen, low levels of dopamin and manual stimulation can cause an increase in this hormone.
Once the pump is primed, so to speak, it can happen pretty easily, even a couple of years after having the baby.
Okay - this is not true for ALL women, but common enough not to blink at.
Some women will produce milk before childbirth, but I believe this is not as common.
Just means your equipment works.
