1. I don't know what AF is, but if you are being serious then you may not be producing colostrum, it may be due to a tumor on your pituitary gland, although it's rare it is possible. And that is a symptom. So if you are being completely serious and you don't think you're pregnant, or if the test is negative then I would have that checked. Your breasts shouldn't be producing milk if you are just recently pregnant and if you don't know you are pregnant and you are like 5-6 months along then you are really out there in space.. you would have thought you might notice a long time before your breasts started producing milk.
2. You wouldn't produce colostrum that early in pregnancy. The other responder is correct, in that there could be a pituitary growth -- completely harmless... or some sort of hormonal imbalance. Call your gyn or PCP, he/she will order bloodwork to check your prolactin level. If elevated, then you will be sent for an MRI scan of your brain to check for a pituitary tumor. I went through this myself back in 2005.
3. I am confused, what are you due for "any day"? if you are lactating and not due to have a baby - I would advise you to see a doctor. there are conditions and medications that can cause this and you need to be examined by a doctor. if you are pregnant and due for "delivery" any day - then yes, it is common to leak prior to labor.
4. Not sure what's due anyday but if it's your period this isn't colostrum, I was an early leaker at 16 weeks the leakage is clear with a slight brown/yellow tinge and sticky.
5. It is possible, I just asked a very similiar question yesterday. I know that I am pregnant but thought it was to early (I am about 9 weeks) to produce it, but had someone tell me that they started really early too. Good Luck!
6. It's a sign of very late pregnancy - like being within a few days of giving birth, maybe a few weeks. I would speak to your doctor about it happening this early. The most common sign to have in very early pregnancy is...no symptoms at all. You really shouldn't expect to feel any different until after you've missed a period AT LEAST. Some people do, but it's more common not to feel any different until you are 6-8 weeks gone. You will get far bigger symptoms from being stressed or excited or nervous than you will from being a few days pregnant. Hope that doesn't sound too negative, what I'm trying to say is that you shouldn't expect to be able to tell that you have conceived. All the people out there thinking "my breasts aren't sore, I don't feel sick, everything tastes normal, it didn't work again" - you're just as likely to be pregnant as someone with early symptoms.
7. i had the same thing happen to me, actually this was the first sign of me thinking i was pregnant. It happened for only a couple of days & it was very little, but then stopped all together. i do believe it can be an early sign of pregnancy, but i dont think its normal if you are leaking plenty of colostrum. everyone's body & hormones is different, so i say its a possibiltity take a test & talk to your dr.! Good luck & best wishes :)
