Goose Bumps

I have goose bumps on my nipples and they didn't appear until recently. I stopped takin my BC almost 4 weeks ago and my period should be here tuesday if I am not pregnant. But my husband and I are TTC and want to know if this is a sign of pregnancy or if its from my prenatal vitamins. Plese give me some feedback I would appreciate it.

so they're called montgomery glands? i totally didn't know that, but mine popped up the day after i responded to this.....i got them with my daughter, too, so who knows.


also....the name of the glands, montgomery tubericals, just makes me think of this hilarious commercial...(real commercial, i might add) for a furniture store in montgomery, AL. anyone with a few minutes to kill should check it out, it's worth a chuckle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJ3oHpup-pk

You could be. But also, keep in mind that if you stop birth control, a lot of time your cycles might be irregular for a bit to adjust to the hormone change. Which could even be a reason y you have montgomery glands. BUT, if you are having unprotected sex there is a definite chance you could be pregnant. I would test when you are late. If it is neg test in a few more days after.ALSO- when TTC.. the hardest part about it is looking for signs of pregnancy. A lot of times it may just be something that normally happens that you NEVER noticed, but because you are looking out for them, it feels different. be careful trust me! Take it as easy as possible. Best of luck!

At this point, you could take another test and see what happens.  Good luck.

The reason why I said something about it was What to Expect Before Your Expecting says that is the earliest sign plus I have been nausious lately and I was supposed to start my period today but I haven't yet and normally it starts first thing in the morning.

It was a urine test and I was suppoesed to start today but I haven't yet. And normally I have my period start first thing in the morning. I want to be pregnant but I don't want to get excited and not be.

honestly, i noticed these on my own nipples around when i turned 19. i think they might just be a part of maturing like when ur hips spread when ur around child bearing age...montgomery's tubericals (the goose bumps) are for mosturization and also to help the baby find the nipple...like a guideline. im not so sure that it actually means pregnancy although some women get more of them during pregnancy to help more with the moisture problem...i think a lot of women who arent pregnant have these goosebumps. so try not to get so hung up on the bumps and try to wait until you have missed your period to test.

was it blood or urine test? sometimes your HCG levels just aren't high enough yet when you're pregnant early on...wait 'til your missed period, then take a home pregnancy test.

Usually those are the glands that moisturize your nipples so they dont crack but alot of times in early pregnancy it is a sign. I would definitely take a test when you are due home pregnancy test! Best of luck!
