Is this wishful thinking?
I've heard of blue veins on Bb's becoming more prominent during early pregnancy... and to be honest, even though I've had 3 BFN I have alllllllllllll these symptoms of pregnancy EXCEPT tender breasts. It's 10 days since I got AF (which was 4 days early...unusual) and the veins in my breasts are way more noticeable! Usually I can see a couple veins in the right breast but I have veins in both coming from the aerola and working up the breast.... so I'm probably gonna take another HPT tomorrow but I know it's gonna be a BFN so i'm wondering, what else causes the veins in the breast to stand out more? OH YEAH>...one more question. I went to the bathroom a few mins ago and noticed for the 2nd time today EWCM coming out on it's own...so this time I grabbed it (sorry for the word usage) to test it's stretchability (is that a word??) and I noticed that it was definitely EWCM but wasn't yet as stretchy as it will eventually get but it had a reddish tinge to it. I'm assuming the red tinge was blood but why? I've never had this before and like I said, im' 10 past my last AF (which was the 14th).
Anyone have any ideas?

Well its intersesting that you bring this up b/c I also noticed a few days ago that the veins in my upper legs and in my arms are soooo blue! It's like "holy ****...where did THOSE come from?" But I haven't noticed them in my stomach like some women do, just the legs, arms and boobs! i know increased water intake can cause the veins to becom apparent in your arms and legs, but what about breast? And I haven't consumed any more water than normal....
If I am in fact preggo I would be about 5 or 6 weeks now....oh, if I could only hope!!!

I didn't notice the blue veins on my bb's until I was about 6-8 weeks pregnant. The reason they show up is your body is starting to make more blood therefor the veins EVERYWHERE get bigger. (boob's arms, legs.. lemme tell you. I have about 2 Dozen Vericose/Spider veins on my legs now!)
I had the shooting pains for about 12 days after ovulation and then they disappeared completely....
My ewcm only comes out when i use the bathroom, otherwise i never see it on my underwear....
Shasy03.... if you have symptoms how come you aren't testing? I'm going to go buy a test in a few minutes before DH gets home...(he thinks i'm obsessive...I AM!!!)
What i find frustrating is that we can have 5 or more symptoms that are not the same as AF coming and it still turns out not to be pregnancy! Sometimes I wonder if we conceive and it just doesn't stick so a HPT never shows positive.
I guess I understand why you don't want to test....i feel the same way right now but i just need to rule it out before I drive myself crazy!!
Good luck to you!

I have a lot of dark blue veins showing in my BBs. You can see one on my left very very well. I have no answer for you hun...I would just test and keep another one in case you are ovulating and take the other in a week to two weeks. Good Luck hun...my fingers are crossed.
I'm having a million symptoms but I refuse to listen to them because I don't want to test...

LOL i think soo too!!!
it sounds like you may have experianced implantation, thats weird because i dont have sore bb's the only time i do is when af is due thats how i know shes coming, but i do get shooting pains in them from time to time. the good ole gas lol my boyfriend justs laughs he thinks its funny haha i never would pass gas in front of him and now i just let it lose haha
about the ewcm i had loads of it before i had that weird af and i still have it just not as much my panties are a lil sticky i know this because i touch it lol yes i know gross right but im curious. this whole ewcm confuses me at times

Girl you're crazy!!! You've had 2 faint positives?? WoW! You know what they say...a line is a line. You probably experienced implantation and maybe even the regular period that some women have!
My period wasn't normal last week. First of all 4 days early NEVER happens. 2nd-it was lighter with way fewer clots. (normally all i pass are clots!)
But like I said, my temp went down and no sorre BB's at all......... but up until 1 week before I got AF my right breast hurt like hell! I"m serious..i thought it was going to fall off!
As for this gas...i originally thought it was from the antibiotic I was taking, which i was taking just in case i did have a UTI and the doctors' test was incorrect. SO I stopped taking it b/c of side effects but 2 days later I still have this horrendous gas! My DH has never been so disgusted and I can't help it!! it has to come out!! (i know...very ladylike huh?)
Maybe God's just giving me an indication of what I will have to put up with when I DO get preggo!
I still can't beleive you haven't tested a million times yet after getting the faint positives.
Do you have EWCM?

well a couple weeks ago i tested and got a very faint positive on two tests then i got what i thought was af but not like af is suppose to be no blood flow at all which makes me wonder soo i thought that was af and put the faint positives in the back of my mind. you know ive had bad gas too!!! lol never do i have it that bad ever lol i havent had a blood test no
it could be possible :) im still learning about ovulation af type stuff lol soo i dont have an answer for that. was your af like your normal af??? but from what i gather from your info id have to say yeah you could be preggos im hoping that would be amazing if you were i love hearing about woman getting there BFP!! i went and got to hpt's earlier and didnt realize one box was empty, it was never opened lol i didnt realize till i got home soo now i only have one test and im using that in the morning :) im kinda pissed tho an empty box wtf at least it was only a dollar lol but still empty ugh!!!
So you're sure you aren't pregnant? Have you had a blood test?
I know TMI but I have the most unbelievable gas...I WISH IT WAS B/C of PRegnancy!!! boo hooo

Thanks for finding that! It makes more sense than a lot of the **** I've read elsewhere! so...now I'm wondering.....could I be experiencing implantation bleeding 10 days after AF? B/c I ovulated around the 4th of april, got AF on the 14th, and noticed the red-tinged EWCM today, the 24th...(hey, i have a thing for 4's!!). Also, I DID experience strong cramping in my lower abdomen this morning....
damn, now i'm curious.......
damn, now i'm curious.......
some have told my sister casandbaby to ignore all signs of pregnancy only an hpt would be correct i think not tho because woman just dont say hmmm ill think ill take a hpt today lol these pregnancy symptoms are the reason why most woman test. i know exactly how you feel. dont give up hope. i would like to know tho why all these signs and not pregnant hmmph
MORE HELPFUL INFO LOL!!! atleast im hoping its helpful :)
Changes in Cervical Mucus after Implantation
Cervical mucus is far and away the best way to determine where you are in your cycle for most women. Just before and during ovulation women will see what is called fertile or egg white cervical mucus. This is typically clear, sticky, egg white consistency cervical mucus that is seen in varying amounts but is a good indication that a woman is going to or is going to ovulate. This type of mucus transports the sperm the best and can allow it to live in the body of a woman for five to seven days.
After ovulation and around the time of implantation the cervical mucus will lose the egg white consistency and usually because quite sticky. A lot of women experience an absence of cervical mucus after ovulation around the time of implantation, but it really varies from woman to woman. If women pay close attention though they will notice that their cervical mucus becomes much stickier and sometimes white as soon as ovulation occurs.
Around the time of implantation many women experience a sudden increase in cervical fluid again and there even may be some pink or brownish tint to some of the cervical mucus. This is thought to be a bit of blood that is caused by the implantation of the egg in the lining of the uterus. After this initial increase in cervical mucus and a slight tint pink the experience of each woman varies widely.
During pregnancy there are surges of hormones that may cause the amount of cervical mucus to increase and then decrease. Many women that have never really paid attention to their cervical mucus now notice it every time they get dressed and undressed as it is noticeable in their panties. Other women report that they do not notice any cervical fluid while pregnant. Again, there is no normal or abnormal in this sense as each womans body responds to pregnancy and the surge in hormones differently.
Many women cannot discern the difference between cervical fluid before and after implantation as there is no real decisive change that happens with implantation. A woman can usually tell if she has ovulated because the mucus will change, but not all women will see the pink or brown tinted cervical mucus so you can experience implantation and not know it based on cervical fluid alone.
Cervical fluid is a great way to predict when your body will go from one stage of the cycle to the next. You can enhance your chances of fertilization and implantation by knowing what type of cervical fluid you have at all times. When you see the egg white cervical mucus you can assume you are fertile and when it is no longer of egg white consistency you are either pregnant or you are not. As you can see, our bodies basically tell us when we are able to get pregnant and when we are not, and we may be able to tell when implantation has occurred!

Thanks...I'd like to know WTF TOO!!!! I read online about EWCm and it mentioned ovulation...which is possible but it is kinda conflicting b/c i've read a million times that you're ovulating when you have the MOST stretchy EWCM and today it wasn't that strectchy and it wasn't as much as I normally get, not to mention that it's a lot earlier than normal compared to when I usually ovulate...
I'm gonna have to buy a HPT tomorrow but i really hate to b/c I just know its gonna be negative and it's so disappointing and then frustrating b/c then you still have these symptoms and nothing to explain it all.... :(

bio- i found that info on some site i think family planning, im looking it up at another because as far as i know many woman experiance EWCM during there entire pregnancy but what i gave you above was having to do with fertility, its hard finding a site that has to do with just EWCM during pregnancy soo you could still be pregnant you do have a lot of common symptoms i have most of the ones you do and i dont have sore bb's either, wtf's going on if your nor pregnant its frusterating to say the least but i do wish you luck on your hpt in the morning
omg(osh) im going through the same thing :) except i don't know when i should be expecting my cycle, i agree it is very frustrating. i have what feels like pressure in my nose and its sorta stuffy idk what these symptoms all mean because i have been told that they mean diddly squat but on the other hand i've been told quite the opposite so it can be very frustrating. Bonne chance :D
Thanks for your responses....I think i'm just being overly sensitive....which is one of those "symptoms" that is driving me crazy. I have so many pregn. symptoms that if it weren't for the lack of tender breasts i would be sure I was pregnant!
Gas(BAD!!!)
Fatigue,
Blue Veins visible on BB's
Emotional
VERY irritable (esp. with DH)
Hungry more often (strong hunger pains)
VERY Thirsty
Peeing frequently (4 x's an hour)
UTI is non-existent according to doctors ( i was sure I had this)
Bloating
Nausea (off and on)
Achey throat (not sore, just achey)
Stuffy nose
AF arrived 4 days early and was lighter than normal (Implantation?)
Here's the symptoms of Pregnancy I'm NOT HAVING
Sore bb's
Missed period
I have EWCM now (can't have this w/pregnancy, right?)
Low BBT (went from 98 something to low 97's)
So..........chances are I'm not pregnant. I'm just wondering what else can cause so many preg. symptoms. ESp the frequent urination now that a UTI has been ruled out. Sigh...so frustrating!!

No you didnt but I am easily confused I normally have to read things 2 or 3 times to understand what people are asking I am sorry I did not mean to make you feel like we were ignoring you.
(1) sticky, tacky, and dry -which occurs early in the cycle, immediately after cessation of menstruation (2) creamy, milky, and smooth, which occurs right before the most fertile period (3) slippery, consistency of egg white, stretchable, often clear, and sometimes yellow, pink or red-tinged, which are signs of fertility.
hope that helps some :) I too have the more promenent blue veins all around my boobs and i also have those tiny lil veins that look more purplish in color its like there see through lol
Thanks! But...why were you confused? Did I make it all confusing? I have a tendency to do that....
I am sorry the first time I read this post I was confused. I would test agian and if you get a BFN then wait a week. Good Luck!
My only thought is implantation bleeding. Although if it is 10 days past AF then you might be ovulating and red-tinged might mean a tear inside. So you should BD just in case it is ovulatory EWCM! Okay?! Get to it missy!
