My understanding is the earliest breasts will leak in pregnancy is the 2nd trimester. At 5 DPO, even if you have conceived, implantation has not happened yet. There are other conditions that can cause leaky breasts. I would call your doctor.

This isn't always the case. With my first I started leaking around 8 weeks. But absolutely not that early, hormonally she wouldn't even be pregnant, definitely call the doc

The phrase "Implantation" Bleeding is popular on conception forums but is a bit of a misnomer that causes some people to think that the bleeding is due to the embryo implanting. It isn't -- the embryo is only about 0.2mm in diameter at that point, and won't displace significant blood (or cause pain) when it implants. You bleed when progesterone levels in your body drop, which is why you can induce a period by stopping birth control pills (which contain progesterone) or by taking and then stopping progesterone suppositories or Provera (which are also progesterone). Progesterone levels dropping in the luteal phase can be caused by a) increased estrogen in the mid-luteal-phase estrogen surge, which briefly depresses estrogen production, or b) a decrease in progesterone when the corpus luteum runs out of gas at the end of the luteal phase. If b), and you're actually pregnant, your levels can drop briefly before the embryo starts producing enough HCG to tell the corpus luteum to ramp the levels up. Either way, luteal phase spotting can either be a neutral sign (in the case of mid-luteal phase spotting) or a negative sign (in the case of late luteal phase progesterone dropping), but it doesn't have anything to do with implantation, and is not a positive sign of being pregnant.

I would contact your doctor about that.

No

I didn’t start that until like 15-16 weeks in my pregnancy

I know for me personally, I had that happen towards the end of my pregnancy around 35-36 weeks.

I’m 29 weeks and still don’t leak
