Why am I having clear nipple discharge on my period? Am I pregnant?

It’s super common for those with breast tissue to notice a little clear nipple discharge—especially if “expressed” or squeezed. So if you notice this, don’t worry! It’s called a natural byproduct of breast tissue and is NOT an indicator of pregnancy.

When is nipple discharge not normal? Check in with your doc if you have blood or pus-like discharge, if there’s so much clear discharge that it’s “leaking” from your nipple, or if discharge is accompanied by a red and tender breast.
