Leaking from the breasts when you are not breastfeeding or pregnant is called "galactorrhea".
It is usually not harmful, unless you are leaking from one breast only -- then it could be a sign of breast disease.
Galactorrhea of both breasts is generally caused by hormonal changes.
Of course this happens in pregnancy & afterwards. Sometimes it can be related to a medical problem but in your case it is more likely to be a side effect of the pill.
The hormones in oral contraceptives, depo provera, and the patch can all cause your breasts to leak. This is not uncommon or dangerous, and there is no need to stop the pills. If it bothers you, your healthcare provider could switch you to a different one.
If you have an appointment coming up soon, just mention it at your next visit. If that's a long time from now, give them a call. They may want to examine you, to be sure there is nothing else going on.

(1) Rush to ur doctor, take her advice
(2) Check ur pregnancy through home based pregnancy kit.
(3) Check for any cuts/Exterior Infections/wounds.
(4) Check for any other Complications.
Normally, Leaky Breasts r also a sign of Pregnancy, but it is too early as u have said it is only 2 weeks, and u have not clearly mentioned that ur periods have been missed or not.

If you are pregnant your breasts will leak at around 4 months not so soon. Possibly the hormonal pattern of your body has changed. And for such matters always consult your doctor!

It's normal, it doesn't indicate anything what you've said, it just means your body is doing what it's supposed to be doing at this stage. It might get worse though, i've just started leaking tiny bits over the past few days, i count myself lucky though as my friend was leaking alot at this stage in her pregnancy.

I've had discharge from my nipples (a lot) while on depo provera and NOT pregnant.
I'm 3 1/2 months pregnant now and I have not had any kind of leakage at all!
(Leakage is typically a sign of pregnancy BUT... look at my experience... ) Are you having other signs of pregnancy? nausea for example?

Actually that is how I new I was pregnant. I was leaking, went to my dr. and found out I was 6 weeks pregnant. They said its a hormonal change.

this is one for a doctor. depends what they are leaking, if there is any pain, what sort of pill etc .....too many variables. but it would be a bit early for leakage from pregnancy if you are not far enough along to do a test yet.

No. This doesn't mean you're pregnant. You do need to see your doctor though, you may have an infection or need to change pills.

Please go and get a test. Leaking breasts can also mean something is wrong. I don't want to scare you but that is the reality. Go see a doctor.
