maybe you should ask your doctor...
...maybe it's from the hormones?

I've been on Depo before, and have gotten the same thing. What the shot does is trick your body into thinking it's pregnant. Thus some pregnancy symptoms can occur, it's normal, just annoying. Try not to stimulate your breast at all and it should clear up pretty quickly.
Hope that helps

It very likely is the depo. Check with your Doc. Your prolactin levels should be checked as they are probly too high, that is what causes breast discharge very much like milk.

Every woman will have a discharge from her nipples sometime or another, even if she is not pregnant, it's the body's way of keeping the lines clear. Even some men may have discharge, srsly.

it is possible that the discharge is breast milk. this is not uncommon as you are receiving hormones from the depo shots. if that is the case, it is more of an inconveinence.
call the RN who administers your shots to confirm.

You very well could be, when I found out I was, I had similar symptoms. Honestly don't worry about it take a test and if it is negative,wait a week and if your period still isn't there take another one. You could just be stressed out.

I ask my doc about this before and she says its ok it comes from the birth control you take.
