I have been on birth control for a year and a half and I take it at exactly the same time each day.
A few days ago I noticed that when I squeezed my right nipple a very small amount of white discharge appeared. It was not very thick, but every so slightly sticky. And it only came out of one nipple. I could not be pregnant....could I? What would be other causes of this?
I appreciate your thoughtful answers.

Milky discharge (cloudy, whitish or almost clear in color, thin, non-sticky) is the most common type of discharge. Most milky discharge is caused by lactation or increased mechanical stimulation of the nipple due to fondling, suckling or irritation from clothing during exercise or activity. Drugs or hormones that stimulate prolactin secretion can cause spontaneous, persistent production of milk (galactorrhea). Prolactin is the hormone produced by the pituitary gland that starts the growth of the mammary glands and triggers production of milk. Some pituitary tumors cause excess prolactin secretion that can lead to milky nipple discharge, usually from both breasts (bilateral). Opalescent discharge that is yellow or green in color is normal.

No, I do not think you are pregnant. Usually the "milk" is coming in a couple days after birth only and not during the pregnancy.
I would go and talk to your GYN about your nipple discharge.

Go to your doctor and have this checked out. There could be
several reasons this is happening, but not usually because you are pregnant.

I think it is just hormones. I must have had a lot of hormones because I could do this at age 9 (got curious).

No, I really do not think you are pregnant. I suggest you seek medical advice, preferably a GYN ASAP to help you rectify this.
