Please help! I suddenly started lactating!

Ok here's my story...I was on the pill march 15th when I DTD with boyfriend (I did miss a pill 3 days prior). The first week after I was tired but working a lot also. After that I had horrible indigestion for days, bad headaches that would come and go, after that my boobs started to hurt followed by cramps, I figured I was just gonna have a bad period.....I wanna also note that for a couple days my cervical mucus smelled very sweet, and when it wasn't sweet it was just strong, not bad but I swear I could smell myself all the time. Then I started my period on time, first week of april, a tad lighter then usual but nothing I thought to concern myself with.......But then things got weird. After my period ended the nausea started, it's been off an on and not to the point of vomiting but very close a couple times, and it comes on very sudden. And my boobs, omg they hurt so bad now and the other day in the shower I noticed I started lactating! More so in my left. I have one child who is now that is 3 and only breast feed the first couple weeks. I took a pregnancy test and it said negative, saw my doctor that day and took another one that also said negative. She wants me to wait 10-14 days and do another urine test, if that's negative she said a blood test. My question is, it's been about 5 weeks now since my sexual encounter....shouldn't the test be accurate now

Well I started bleeding again, which I expected going off the birth control but it was a very flow. While I cramped, it wasn't too awful for as much as I was bleeding. I have a doctors appt tomorrow cause along with all the symptoms I STILL have, lactating, cramping, bloated, I've developed new ones. While I was bleeding sometimes it felt like from the bottom of my rib cage down to my pelvis was contracting and it hurt, not emergency room kinda pain but very uncomfortable. Now I have a pulling sensation in my lower right abdomen and sharp pains :( I was told by someone it sounds like a tubal pregnancy but the pregnancy tests were all negative. I don't know much about tubal pregnancy but I thought it would hurt a lot more then what I'm experiencing. I'm starting to fear the worst cause I've never felt like this before and I have no idea what's going on

Syptoms are different for everyone,,,,,,, somepeople can lose weight, rather than but on, my friend was a size 18 before, she due in a matter of days and she's now in 14s, you can't even tell she preg, at all,,,, some women go off food, others eat like a pig, ie- me lol ,,,,,,, but all syptoms are different for women,, on then webb they only put the "most common" syptoms

Well I couldn't wait so I tested again and still negative. I've had a mild headache all morning and still lactating from my left breast, the fluid, which is very little amount  hasn't changed, but the breast pain comes and goes, sometimes they almost feel bruised. I only feel bloated right before I start cramping and then feel normal when the cramping stops. I've been very constipated so maybe that's why I feel bloated.

Well I threw up this morning for no good reason i can think of. i think I'm gonna test again today...........My first thought was my pills, but I discontinued using them after my period, and I've read many articles that state lactating while on the pill is possible, it's after you stop taking them that it won't happen.

Well it's been a few days and I'm still lactating. I don't feel pregnant, in fact I have more energy then usual, I've even lost a few pounds. I'm still getting cramps but they aren't strong and don't last very long. I'm gonna test again cause well I've read too many stories of women lactating very early on with their second pregnancy. I still think it's crazy that after 5 whole weeks it may still be inaccurate, but better safe then sorry.

I'm 15 days late for my af. I went to the emergency room today and got a urine and blood pregnancy test. Bfns:-(
but they said that I could possibly still be testing too early. because I'm not sure of when I ovulated.. so keep testing every week until you get a positive pregnancy test or you're AF. good luck and I hope this helps.
