Pregnant or not?: The question is not very clear. Is the lactation problem post-partum and involves breast feeding? Initially there is colostrum and the full milk supply does not come in for several days warm compresses and a breast pump could help.If you are not pregnant and secreting from your nipples, a serum prolactin level and mammogram might be in order.
