got milk?

i am lactating.

rewind.

i had a little scare with the lump in my right breast.
it had gotten bigger and began to hurt more than usual.
so i went for another ultrasound and mammogram.
they said it's definitely benign however i should see a breast surgeon.
more doctors. fun.

then

i find that i am leaking, from my breasts. leaking milk.
turns out the medicine i am taking for anxiety increases the levels
of prolactin, a hormone that is high in pregnant women, hence the lactating.
needless to say i am no longer taking that medication after tonight.

i am hoping that the pain from the lump may have something to do with this lactation.
we'll see.

i find the entire situation hysterical.
i hope that this brightens your day.

lactating. hah.





p.s. don't forget to check out my educational link on the term transgender, and don't hesitate to ask questions if i confuse you. part of me starting this blog was to educate my friends by talking about being trans on a personal level.
