I think I've got very high prolactin levels or am going through a prolactin spike. Something that missB linked me to in the last couple of days suggests my levels may be high
My nipples have been very sensitive lately and I was just able to make a thin milky fluid come out of them. My nipples seem larger than usual and very firm.
Does this sound like lactation or should I be worried?
Edit: Could this also explain why my breasts have been aching recently?

Personally i wouldnt be worried,esp as its coming out of both. Maybe the method of massaging you are using is stimulating in a way to promote milk. Youl do very well when you nurse, thats a great thing.

Phew. I was kinda worried because I wasn't expecting it. They looked a little white at the tips so I started squeezing along my nipples and was like "holy f***". Seeing as I still haven't had a period I'm worried I might have been getting false negatives on tests.
But if it's just a result of massage and high prolactin then I am not so worried.
The veins in my breasts and nipples are becoming more and more visible too. I haven't been attempting to induce lactation or anything like that, although I did think it would be kinda cool/kinky

Yeh i think since youre not on herbs some people are just predisposed to react to massage that way. Surely youre stimulating your nipples in some way i would have thought to get that response...?
Im actaully using my manual breast pump to try correct my nipple that retracts so will be interesting to see if i get any pre milk too. I struggled breast feeding though so i dont think it will be an issue for me. But you'd be suprised how many men here end up getting pre milk too.

Well I don't think my massaging is stimulating the nipples, but my partner has been known to randomly rub, squeeze and play with my nipples at all hours of the day. He finds it very easy to turn me on using my nipples as they have always been sensitive, even more so since they started growing again.
But I guess the massages could be stimulating the glandular tissue in my breasts, I noticed the glandular tissue does seem bigger than it used to be which is probably why my breasts are sitting higher and feel fuller.
I'm tempted to try and induce full lactation now that this is happened

Id be impressed if you did. You'd likely have to work at it though. Contiuous massage or pump during the day. But to have it running down your breast then it wouldnt suprise me if you could do it! You dont want to have to worry about mastitis though (very real possibliity) if you did go full boar and lactate. Depending on what that did to your hormones, your appetite would increase too. My best friend is BFeeding now. She eats alot, put on alot of weight as a result. But if she stops feeding bub for even one full day then the milk tends to slow right down.
