Probably not: If you ovulate then you should be fine. Breast milk (galactorrhea) is caused by high levels of prolactin. Prolactin usually causes infertility by preventing ovulation which is not a problem for you. Best wishes.

No: If you have started ovulating again then you should be able to conceive even if you are still getting a little mik production.
