during my period my breast (i am not sure if it was just one or both as it was my boyfriend who noticed) began to leak a small amount of a white substance i can only assume is milk. i have been on the pill for a long time and am very safe with it so i dont understand what it going on. please help as i am very worried that i could be pregnant

If I were you I would have this checked. You may not be pregnant but it could be something else. However, some women normally have occasional milky discharge especially upon nipple or breast stimulation and this is ok.

I still feel that you should see a doctor about this, just to be on the safe side. You could have excessive prolactin levels caused by different things including benign tumor in the brain for example.

I am not trying to scare you, just to inform you so you could make a good decision and see your doctor. Like I said, it could be nothing special.

Thankyou for your reply - I did a home pregnancy test which came out negative thankfully. Am worried about what else it could be though, do you think I should go to a doctors now or wait to see if it happens any more? Thankyou again

In December I was late, when I thought I was starting my period I only spotted for 2 days. My breast have been producing this clear liquid substance every since I was suppose to come on my period on the 17 of December. Now it's January and my breast is still producing the clear liquid (for 1 month and 6 days now). I went to the doctor and had tests done and everything came back normal but I still don't know what's wrong with me.

That happens with me as well.. not sure why. It's not all the time but every month or so. Would love to know why. Maybe it's do to the pill?
