Question: I have had sporting and a light period for 8 days and today I notice if I give my breast a light squeeze fluid leaks out the colour of watery milk I am 32 I should be due for my period around today .. I am very confused by this as I done a pregnant test it's negative but I done several with my daughter 4 years ago and all test where negative even the doctor said it was negative .. It. Wasn't confirmed until I was 16 weeks by blood test then a scan as I asked for a blood test due to feeling my lower stomach growing .. But not sure if it's highly possible I am pregnant or not I have been having unprotected intercourse for three months now but my partner is 45 but very fit and healthy I also do keep fit .. Please help me
Brief Answer:
More likely to be due to a hormonal imbalance.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The light period of 8 days with mild fluid discharge from the breast is more likely to be due to a mild hormonal disturbance like raised prolactin levels rather than a pregnancy. The implantation bleeding starts near the period due date and not before that.
You can wait for your periods for next 2-3 days and in case the periods do not start then get a blood test done to rule out pregnancy and an ultrasound scan done to rule out any pelvic pathology like polycystic ovaries.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Can be due to pregnancy or hormonal disturbance.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
If the spotting started around the due date and is still continuing then pregnancy needs to be ruled out. If the pregnancy tests are negative then a blood test and ultrasound scan are the only way to detect the pregnancy.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
