Hi Dina, Welcome to the group! It is so wonderful to know that there are others out in the world who understand exactly what you're going through, isn't it? Good luck in your baby making! My hubby and I are going to be trying in a little bit as well! Anyway, about the lactating...my poor younger sister does also, and she's only 19! She's had this annoying problem for about a year or more. Same thing - the Drs. don't know what causes it. It seems that hers started after being on BCPs. I think she has adeno, from what I've read on the net. Drs. also don't know what causes her pain, but have concluded that its not endo. She said that it doesn't harm anything or hurt, like you said, but it is annoying (especially hvaing a wet bra on! Poor thing!) And it works just like a nursing mother...you know, squirting when she hears a baby crying and everything! (She's never even had sex!) Anyway, I may not have been much help, but at least you know that you're not the only one! The only thing we've been able to tie it to is the BCPs,a nd other hormonal fluctuations. I wish you luck in finding the answer! Maybe it will just come in handy when you have a child... LOL =)

Lots of love, Joy in CA
