Question

Blue veins visible everywhere and puffy nipples. Outline on positive line. No fill. Preg?

So I know u get increased blood flow when you're pregnant & that can make your veins more visible. I'm a redhead so my skin is quite pale but I can definitely see a ton of veins in my chest and breasts, more than usual. Over the last couple days I've also noticed a couple big veins that go from my breast down my ribs & onto my hips & upper thighs on the front. It spreads out quite a lot on my hips. My nipples have been bigger and puffy for 2 weeks and they're now starting to get barely sore but it's more of like an over-sensitive feeling. My period last week was all old blood and spotty and light for about 6 days. No red blood. I keep taking new choice $ tree tests but I only see a VERY VERY faint outline of a positive. Not filled in but it's happened twice in the time limit at around 2-3 minutes. It gets harder to see as the test turns whiter. I also now have stretch marks on my breasts starting a week and a half and I'm only 22. Does this mean pregnancy? Any1 else get te

I think you read into pregnancy symptoms too much. A person would have blue veins because of increased blood flow during pregnancy. You think that happens over night?

No I've been feeling pregnant for about 2 weeks now, starting before my spotty "period". I'm saying the blue vein visibility has slowly increased.

WoW, that was rude!!
I would wait a few more days and try a different brand of test. Maybe even go for a blood test. =)

silvershoes: Blood flow is directly related to blood pressure, and that changes in seconds.

I had blue veins about a week after I tested positive, and when I would lay down my areolas would stand above the breast... it was insane looking and I freaking at first! LOL I miscarried at 6 weeks 4 days, and STILL have those darn blue veins, they got worse though (Possibly pregnant again) they never went away!

Thanks ladies! Your answers were MUCH more helpful and kind :) I get a blood test on Monday. I'm going to try to resist buying any more tests since I want to try a different one and they're more expensive and I'm short on money. And YES! My areolas looked so weird! Like I puffed them out with air lol. My breasts have suddenly now gotten super tender and this is now the week after my spotty "period". I really hope this isn't from my bc pills...I've been on bc since I was 17 and never had weird side effects or spotty periods or this circulation/vein stuff. Fingers crossed :) Thanks so much! I'll update when I get the results back :) xo
