Colostrum Powder

leaking colostrum after baby = pregnancy?

well my son is almost 4 months old. i was breastfeeding but complications with him led to not being able to past 4 weeks. anyways, my milk dried up quickly and its been at least a month and a half since i was able to squeeze any milk from my nipple. over the last 2 days or so i noticed that my breasts are hard - not tender - but harder than normal. they're not so much so like being engorged but they're just a little harder than last week. i squeezed to see if maybe for some hormonal reason i had some milk in there, but what came out i think was colostrum. it was mostly whitish with clear but it was a sticky texture, unlike milk. during my pregnancy with my son, i leaked a teeny tiny bit from about week 20 on. why would this be happening now?? does it mean i could be pregnant? im not lte on my period or anything, not til next week. seems a bit early to be leaking colostrum if i were pregnant... could it just be hormones? to psalm91 - thanks for your input but its not milk that im leaking its colostrum. and like i said in the question i havent had any milk leakage for at least a month and a half. thanks anyways tho, i appreciate it i know colostrum is normally yellow but when i had it while pregnant with my son is was very light yellow and appeared white/clearish almost at times. but i can tell by the texture of it that its not milk! milk is very watery while colostrum is sticky.

1. my guess would be hormones. if your breast are being stimulated in any way, it's possible that the milk is just not drying up yet.
2. You might be preganant i dont want you to feel uncomfortable but have u and your husband/boyfriend had sex sense the baby was born that might be it you could be pregnant if you are congradulations!!!!!>>>>
3. Colostrum is yellow, not white. Milk has more of the whitish clear color to it. Chances are you are not fully dried up yet and you squeezing your nipples could make your body think that it needs to start producing it again.
