My last 3 periods have been extremely light and I have milk discharge from my br___t. I also have gain about 10 lbs in the last 3 months. I have taken numerous HPT's and had a blood test. All are negative. The only place I have gained weight is my abdomen and I can't wear my pants. I have had two children and my tests always came back positive right away. Is it possible I am pregnant? What should I do?

Hi Farmwife<
How old are you? It sounds like you may be starting to go into menopause, which can cause changes in your periods, and abdominal weight gain ( I don't what the milk production could mean though , except for pregnancy, and certain medications). I am only 35 and have gone into premature menopause, and have skipped 3 periods in 2004 ( not all in a row). I would suggest having your FSH and estrogen levels checked, if your FSH is high (23.0 -116.2) and estrogen low, this indicates that you are menopausal. You can also buy an at home test for menopause, called menocheck, they look just like a pregnancy test stick, but test for rising levels in FSH. You may want to rule this out first. And, I guess it is possible that you may be pregnant too, although it doesn't sound likely to me, since you always test positive right away. You would most likely have a +++ result after 3 months. I highly recommend buying a home test for menopause and then confiriming the result with your 0b-gyn, and if this is negative, I would request an ultrasound to check for pregnancy and other things that may be causing your symptoms. Good luck and let me know what you do and how it turns out!! :)
