yes some women produce small amounts of colostrum even decades after pregnancy. this is not abnormal and doesn't mean anything is wrong w/you. it doesn't only occur when a period is due. there are women who have had hysterectomies and continue to produce minute amounts when the nipples are squeezed, the breasts are stimulated, etc. if the amount increases, there is a foul odor, the color of the colostrum changes to yellow/green/blood tinged, or there is pain then you would need to see a physician. otherwise it is perfectly normal.
