I've been on estrofem, 2mg, for about 4 months, maybe 5 but I took a month break there for a while.

So I take an aspirin with it ever night but for the past week and a half I've been taking another 2mg in the morning as well.

Been feeling the effects, not sure if my grumpiness lately is that or some family issues going on, but my nipples are TENDER.........and I am lactating a LOT..........

This normal? I would imagine. G/F says it's like that for her every month at the appropriate time.......(Or inappropriate time if you will).....

Would appreciate some input from anyone else in the same time frame as myself.

I'm just approaching a full A cup now, rather enjoy what I see and feel...

From what I have read, lactation occurs from prolactin levels being high or your intake of hormones are too high. From the dose you are taking it doesn't seem like a large amount of hormones so I would look to other sources that are causing this. Perhaps it is due do something in your diet?

Lactation can also be induced through the use of some medications and/or herbs. You can read up on some experiences here (http://www.eunuch.org/vbulletin/showthr ... =LACTATION). I take a far higher dose of estrogens than yourself, but didn't experience any lactation until I had induced it with a drug called Motillium (http://www.inhousedrugstore.com/digesti ... cians.html).

In all, Lactation at this early stage does not seem normal for you. I don't think it will cause any harm, but there can be some major medical conditions that could cause this to happen such as a pituitary gland tumor.
