Mandy I'm so sorry it wasn't your sticky bean... Are u in Australia too? I'm 21 so definitely have young eggs, I will be looking into donation after this pregnancy

Anyone online to answer me at all?

Con fused - yes, your breasts can have a lot of changes in early pregnancy including veins being more obvious. It varies from person to person, and I've noticed since TTC that I always think mine look darker. If I bend over for a while (like leaning on the counter staring at hpts), when I get out of the shower, and when I've been bundled up in bed they show up more.

Mandy - so sorry AF showed.

Athena - glad your opks are so dark.

Tara - I've been laughing ever since I told you I hope everything is OK with your kitty because of the double meaning. Now that I know he's alright I can laugh with you about it. And I hope everything turns out alright with your other kitty this cycle, too.

Hey confused,
That is an a symptom of pregnancy and sounds like you are going to get your little angel. I have everything crossed for you.

Hi gracey,
Where abouts in oz are you. It is a wonderful thing you are doing. I was told there is a 100 woman's the egg donor waiting list and they had to close it due to no eggs no one is donating.

Hey Mandy.
I'm hoping it is.
ATM I've got really itchy hands for some reason and it's driving me nuts. And a sniffly nose. An allergy I guess but I don't know to what. Have u decided what your gonna do now?

Phatgurl. Mine also look a little darker since ttc. But I have never noticed these veins before today. Neither has my dh. Mine was before the shower so can't be that.

Confused - itchy palms can also be a symptom of pregnancy, but it usually happens a little further into it. Something to do with extra blood produced during pregnancy. It can be quite annoying. It happened a lot with my youngest.

They are itchy and my palms are red too. But then that's prob from scratching lol. Also my friend says she thinks my dog is sensing something because he keeps sniffing my breasts and lying near my tummy all the time and following me around bless him.

I checked on Google, and the itching I'm talking about is called cholestasis of pregnancy. It has something to do with bile issues and shows up late in pregnancy according to the web. I never had that diagnosis, so it can happen without it. I just can't remember when mine started. Hope it's a good sign! Oh, a stuffy nose is common in early pregnancy. The hormones cause the mucous membranes to swell.

Yes I hope it's a good sign too. Thank you for googling for me. Sick of having a stuffy nose. I assumed it was an allergy as I had a sore croaky throat this morning for a few hours which has gone now.
