KB,

I have had the same thing happen to me. My daughter was born May 2000. I breastfeed her for almost 11 months. I weaned her in March 2001. I went to my doctor for a yearly physical in June and told him that I was still producing milk. He told me that some women do that. It isn't anything to really worry about. I continued to produce very small amounts until December of this year which is when I got pregnant. I have since stopped producing. I also had an incident back in July 2001 were my husband and I were being intimate and my milk let down. I had not nursed my daughter in over 3 months. That can be a little shocking when your not expecting it. I have a friend that had a friend whose youngest is 10 years old. When my friend had her son(he is now 3) her friends milk started letting down whenever her son would cry. You are not alone in this. I don't know of any test that can be run for that type of thing. But I do know that unless their is something else going on you should still be able to get pregnant again. Good luck.
