Why am i lactating? i know i am not pregnant because i just got off the depo-provera shot in september

Not uncommon: Lactating is not uncommon and most often not serious. Changes in hormone levels can trigger it. Since you recently stopped depo, get a pregnancy test. Blood tests checking hormone levels such as thyroid and prolactin can be helpful. Very rarely tumors (usually not cancerous) may be a cause. Finally, some medications, especially psychiatric ones can cause lactation. Check with your doctor.
