Hi, I don't really have any answers... just to tell you that for me, the breast milk was the first sign of my hormone imablance. That I have had prolactin tests (normal) tyroid tests (normal) and pituitary (sp?) tests (they thought the milk could be caused by a tumor of the pituitary gland) (normal), I have taken BCP and STILL have breast milk, though with the BCP it seems to be a bit less, it used to be bad enough to wet my shirt in a grocery store when a baby cried... arrrgh.... talk about embarrasing being 22 (when it started) and having had no children! I will be very interested to see what the other ladies say. I don't think this is a symptom that most of us display (or maybe I'm wrong and i just don't hear much about it)

as far as "blanking out" at the doctor... hehe (sheepish smile) there are ALWAYS things I forgot to ask. I even wrote all my questions down, had stuff printed off the board to take with me...and got so nervous before the appointment that I and FORGOT TO BRING EVERYTHING I HAD PREPAIRED!!! SIGH.... :)

good luck
