Blue veins?

26 replies

Lolastanley · 23/10/2019 20:04

Has anybody ever had blue veins appear suddenly on their chest and breasts? If so, did you get a BFP and how long after they appeared?

Yes first time 3 weeks pregnant
2nd time after 2 weeks!

missmouse101 · 23/10/2019 21:07

Oooh yes! I did. It was my very first pregnancy sign. Don't know what a BFP is?

Plaw · 23/10/2019 22:19

Yes I had this, although mine were a bit more faint! I think I was about 5 weeks when I noticed it and got BFP 6 days later. I wasn’t ttc at the time so I was chill about it and I’m sure if I tested earlier would have got BPF earlier.

Ahh that’s good news. They are so sore too! They’re never sore. Took a cheapie test this morning and it’s negative, don’t want to spend more money on a FRER yet.

Good luck my first symptom was metallic taste after drinking water. X

Meshy23 · 24/10/2019 10:35

Yes a week after BFp and I found it got more noticeable (and more painful) during pregnancy and beyond.

rollon2020 · 24/10/2019 10:45

Yup! Don't remember how soon after we found out but I don't think it was long

Nipples also felt like they were being scratched with razor blades all the time!
Fingers crossed for you! 🤞

Bleepers · 24/10/2019 12:19

Yes I did and got a BFP 4 days later on 10 DPO

@rollon2020 ha ha I know what you mean, mine are itchy as hell!

I mean if I don’t get a BFP my body is one cruel character. Although I feel this time I’m not imagining all these symptoms as they are so obvious.

QueefLatifah · 24/10/2019 13:21

Yes I had this too

bellebox19 · 24/10/2019 15:14

I'm having this too! And I have veins on my hips, pelvis and belly visible. I'm 10DPO and really hoping Smile. How many DPO are you?

Lolastanley · 24/10/2019 17:08

Flo says I’m 11 DPO but I felt I ovulated a day later than predicted so I’d say 10DPO, I’ve noticed them on my hips and legs today. Here’s hoping!! Have you tested?

OP posts:
bellebox19 · 24/10/2019 17:21

Ah we're cycle buddies lol!

Not tested yet but I'm so so tempted to buy one on the way home from work 🙈. I've honestly never been so restrained with TTC! I usually test at like 6DPO lol. Can't control myself.

I think I'm just scared to see a negative again cause I feel so much like 'this might be it' this time.

bellebox19 · 24/10/2019 17:22

When are you going to test again?

Original poster
Lolastanley · 24/10/2019 18:26

Im not sure really, I might try Saturday but ideally I’d like to wait til Tuesday (if AF doesn’t show up)

OP posts:
bellebox19 · 25/10/2019 10:35

I tested with an ASDA test last night and this morning, BFN. I wanted a first response but they didn't have any.

Feeling defeated 😕. Wish I hadn't.

I'm going to hold out till Wednesday if AF doesn't come on Tuesday. It's probs too early now.

How are you feeling? Any other symptoms?
My boobs are quite sore and I've noticed for the last couple of days I've had gum bleeding when brushing my teeth - I've heard that can be a sign lol 😆.

Lolastanley · 25/10/2019 13:35

Yeah I had the most horrendous gum pain for about 2 days, a few days ago. That’s not entirely new for me though. My boobs aren’t as painful today or overnight, still veiny and I’ve got them all down my leg now.

I also tested with a FRER this morning but it was negative. However, I’ve started getting light pink/orange CM so it’s either my period coming or implantation bleeding, which would make sense why it’s a BFN. I’m going stop tormenting myself now and do it on 29th a day after my AF is due.

AF came, I hope you have better luck x

@Lolastanley so sorry to hear that Sad

I tested yesterday morning and got a faint line, which then went darker so I think this might be it. I'm terrified it isn't real, it's been 18 months of absolutely nothing and I was just sent my appointment letter to get my tubes checked in November. It's been awful so I understand how utterly shit TTC is Sad.

Big hugs to you xx

Aww that’s brilliant news! Congratulations! I know but that’s ok, it will happen.

@Lolastanley thank you so much. Good luck! 🤞🏼❤️

Fluffyduck87 · 20/04/2021 17:04

Hi I know this is an old post but I was experiencing similar symptoms and I just wondered what the outcome was for you @Lolastanley

bitheby · 20/04/2021 17:34

She said that her period came earlier in the thread.

Lee56 · 19/07/2021 12:52

I came off my a week and a few days ago.

Although very soon and very unlikely but I have been being sick all weekend and I keep getting a stabbing pain in my b**bs.

I have looked at google and it says mastitis it’s a infection in the breasts.

Could it be something else? My nipples are veiny and I have been getting cramps in my lower abdomen felt queesy Saturday morning and was throwing up all Saturday night and still feel queesy. Thinking it could just be a bug?
