OMG! Please read.. i'm freaking out

[kassie22]

Okay I'm new bare w/ me. So i'm 23 no kids married 1yr. I have been having weird stuff happen lately, just  thought i'd get on here and see what you guys are writing about.. and omg everything you guys are talking about is kind of happening to me.... heres the kicker i'm on Depo. Thus, I have no periods EVER. I never know when i'm ovulating. i'm due for my next shot in 2 or 3 wks.
Heres whats going... do you guys think i'm preggers? First and formost I just took a test( in the middle of freakout mode) neg. but it wasnt fist morning urine or anything I just went.
I've had itchy boobs( i've had itchy boobs b4 dry skin, but nothing like this) itchy nipple and the center of my nipples are white ( weird) one boob I have this "glowing" vein going down my whole boob ( 36D) so its a big vein and another one on the size that is fat and long, and my other breast has those montgomery pauples?( bumps) on them...they've hurt kinda, but i think its where i've been rubbing them from the itching....
I've had cramps the last 2 weeks straight ( which I never have) until the week before i'm due for my next shot. I've had a sore throat/ ear ache x 2 days that comes and goes... leg pain.
I got really light headed and nausea for about 15 min last night. & last night my hips ached slightly.
I have very obvious veins on my hands, but they are clear up the bottom of my arms crazy looking.
I havent eatten alot the past few days, no desire too, then i'll wake up starving....
i've had the egg white cervial mucus for about 2 weeks now and it recently just turned white... which its never been white like that except years ago when I was on the pill. i've been bloated on and off and gassey... LOL
i've been tired lately but I work nights so?? I dont know if i've been super tired or just tired...

please help me i'm ready to go check into a psych unit... this is not something i'm expecting ,a nd I freaked out when I see you guys having all the same symptoms that I am.. what do you guys think? please the more replys the better!!!!

thanks

OK so were u pregnant

[Rosa20]

um this post is over a year old so if shes pregnant she hasent told us yet!! lol

[JessicaEsqueda]

I was on Depo too, AND my now-husband and I used condoms. I was a month away from my next shot, and we still got pregnant. So you know, I was a model too (though, in the adult industry, probably different than yours lol), so my figure was also pretty important. Depo is 99% effective, but that still leaves for 1%. Even with condoms, we still got pregnant. Like you, I was really freaked out when I found out. I had a bad home situation at the time and was scared out of my mind. My husband and I had already been planning our wedding, we just sped it up a bit. By the way, Im 18 years old and that was the first time Id ever had sex. Yet, I got pregnant. (and I have PCOS, so Im not that fertile). We're 5 months pregnant now, and things are going smoothly. I'm happy about it now. So if you ARE pregnant, try to keep your head on straight. It's not as bad as it may seem.

Your symptoms do sound like you could be pregnant. But, as you ARE a model, keep in mind that they could also be signs of malnourishment or something similiar. Either way, I'd wait another week and take a test. If it's still negative, talk to your doctor when you're ready for your next Depo shot. They will make sure of what's going on for you, and you can at least know for sure. Like I said, maybe you just aren't eating right. It's very possible. But either way, take care of yourself and talk to your doctor. If you are pregnant, it sounds like you have a lot going for you. Even though you don't think you're ready, things can work out- it's not really as scary as it seems at first, no matter how much it changes your figure. :-)

Good luck,
Jessica

I am Caucasian, dark brown hair, my eyes are yellow ( wierd I know, but they are pretty, Jessica simpson has  the same color, we are both freaks, but it gets me booked on alot of jobs) anyways....

uhm to explain more what is going on... so I was in the shower and noticed my nipples were a funky color like almost a purple looking, and as if the white center wasnt enough purple was putting me over the edge... so I touched them to see if they hurt or anything and the more I touched them I noticed the skin was REALLLLLY dark , its the WHOLE nipple today BTW.. but my aerolas have not changed color at all... just the nipples... its crazy I'm a freak.
At this point I really am hoping i'm pregnant b/c I d ont want crazy veiny boobs like this at least until my 40's LOL. thats so horrible .. isnt it??

I initially told you about the random blue veins, well I'm starting to get some obvious  red/purple spider veins coming off the blue ones.. its so weird.

Yeah So I was suppose to have my blood drawn today. But I decided to wait till next thursday 13 . b/c I can actually get in and see my Doc. & get my blood done all in one. I live about  1 hr away from my doc office so I just wanted to save myself a trip.
And I figured I have you guys to talk too , so I can get through the next week and 1/2.

I never get periods SO.... I have no clue .... add more to the mystery huh?
i'm not sure about the whole 28 day cycle thing either... All I know is every 3 months I get another shot. and usually like 5 days b4 my shot is due. I'll get the slightest cramps... I barely notice them.... sometimes I never even get that...


yeah actually I was reading everyone post on here  &  found a  web site where you can order the test strips really cheap ... So I order 20 for  $16 Got them yesterday. Took one it was neg. I figured this may be a while of me taking test so I better get them in large quanity's LOL

[JoyRenee]

LOL! I don't have a tiny butt, kassie! Not anymore. But I'm slimming down since having 2 kids. Anyway, to answer your question about the nipples. Are you dark-skinned? I can't imagine a white woman having black lines?!

During pregnancy, the color of your breasts/nipples can change (darken). Have you taken an HPT again, yet? Explain to me again when your "period" should take place. And do your Depo shots run on a 28-day cycle routine?

[irrelevance]

Uhm, I don't understand what you mean, but it doesn't sound natural to me? it gets darker when you touch them...? have you had all of this checked out yet and do you know if you're pregnant or not yet?? and it can happen gradually, OR all at once, every woman and pregnancy is completely different. i have only heard of the aereolas changing colors, not the nipple itself, really... but who knows.

[kassie22]

no one has really answered my freak out about today how does the whole dark nipples thing work, does it happen all at once or gradually???
they look purple and if I touch them they get darker like almost black, and its more then just the bottom of my nipples now..
my aerolas are still the same color tho..

[mom2quint]

Wow, you've gotten a lot of responses, which is always good because everyone experiences things differently.  I just found out that I'm 5 weeks pregnant and first test I took was negative but the next two I took were postive. Your symptoms sound like pregnancy symptoms but I've never taken the depot shot so I'm not sure how all that works.  If you can I'd wait a week and take another if the symptoms persist because you could definetly be pregnant!

[Toshirou]

I've been having these symptoms for about 2 months and new ones eventually pop up along the way I don't know if the Depo shot can make "the glow"  

[nikki232]

you have all the syms that i had wit my 1st preg. all the test i did at home came up neg so i got the blood test i found out i was11 wks preg. go to the docs its the best way to know for sure

[Toshirou]

Having a lot of the the symptoms and also on the Depo shot I took two home tests both came back negativeI took a test and a clinic also came back negativeand recently my hips and legs have started hurting also getting the white stuff and Recently I was told I have "the glow" should I go get a blood test?  

[Toshirou]

I'm* of the*. Sorry v.v

[kassie22]

The more i've thought about it the more I keep second guessing myself. i'm going to ask when I go get my blood work done.
but I think either 6 or 9 months this last time.. I took it for about 2 yrs straight, decided I wanted to try the pill b/c I thought I was gaining too much weight from depo. and w/in the last yr went back on depo...

[evthing4reason]

You may have mentioned this before but how long were you on the shot for?

[kassie22]

OH GOODNESS...
DO you think maybe something in the shot could have been effecting your hormones to make it come up neg on the urine?

[rizzo709]

The gave me a preg test before every shot all of them turned up negative. On the shot I had no cramps, period, or spotting.

[kassie22]

So you were on depo and never knew.. glad I may not be the only one...

so you never had signs until you were around 38 weeks???

My doc office gives me a preg test b4 they give me the shot every 3 months they said it was policy or something along those lines, thats crazy they didnt test you before each injection...

i've never  had a period or cramps since i've been on it .... were you the same??
I get cramps like 4 days b4 my next shot is due and this is going on week 3 of cramps... and i'm not due for the shot for another 3 wks..

[rizzo709]

I was on the depo shot for my entire pregnancy, never even knew I was pregnant until 2 weeks before I went into labor. I went into the doctor for some massive heartburn, I thought I had an ulcer. Turned out I was pregnant! But it all turned out great my beautiful little girl is now 2 yrs old and healthy. With modeling even when you are pregnant and after you have the baby you can do maternity and mommy and me modeling. There is always a bright side to everything!

[kassie22]

Thanks girl!!!

[Gina209]

Yea it could be a number of things...but than again everyone is different so I wouldn't rule out Pregnancy yet, but I just wanted to let you know that it can happen due to PMS :)

Good Luck with everything!

[kassie22]

okay I'm  calming down a little bit!!!

I remeber back in the day when I was younger b4 I took bc pills or depo or anything my aerolas  would get larger, never really darker tho.. so this is new for me....

[Gina209]

Yea your entire Nipple and Areola can become very dark even black when getting your Period. My best friend freaks out every now and then because her nipples are black...and than she ends up getting her Period. So it could go either way.

When I was Pregnant last year my nipples never got dark...they were actually very pink with white in the center..

Yea my Period was super late...I noticed the darkening around the time I could test...so prolly between 10-14DPO...and ofcourse I tested and tested and got negative after negative. Than my Period was late and I still had all the symptoms...and they were still dark dark...so I kept testing...up until the day my Period came. It was such a disappointment, I swore I was Pregnant!

[kassie22]

yeah the area around my nipples hasnt changed at all.. except the veins and bumps, they are not darker at all.. its just my nipples...

so you had a really late period ... when did you notice the darking thing going on? before your period was due or after it was late?

[Gina209]

To answer your nipple question, YES they can get very dark before your Period. I thought for sure I was Pregnant last month-I had all the Symptoms and the area around my nipples were like BLACK...I was like oohh this is it! But it wasn't...I was just 12 days LATE for my Period and my body was doing crazy things...everything that happens to your body during early Pregnancy can be a sing of AF...thats why taking a test or getting blood drawn is the only sure way to find out. Good Luck Hun!

[kassie22]

Joyrenee, Kstarr07,michelleap, evthingforareason,  martikadragoon and the rest of you guys WHERE ARE YOU AT?!?!? I so need you guys.....

okay So I didnt get on here yesterday b/c I felt okay and I'm trying  not to think about this till I can get the bloodwork done this week....
OMG I SO AM FREAKING OUT AGAIN.....
uhm so I took a shower this morning.. and on my nipples ... the bottom side of them they are getting DARK LIKE ALMOST BLACK DARK....
BUT its not my whole nipple its just the bottom sides.....
Is it a little change like this like the bottoms then the rest of your nipples get dark, or is it like the whole nipple is DARK all at once???
Can your nipples get dark like this before you start your period... mine NEVER have....
or is this only in pregnacy???
As you know since my freak out the other day i've been on the net like crazy researching stuff so I've been looking for the signs...  I seen this and instantly got out of the shower to get on here and talk to you guys HELP ME...

EVthing4areason: to answer the husband question... Uhm he's been so busy working on a HUGE CASE. I Havent told him.. YET.
I dont want this on the back of his mind right now .. he has so much on his plate untill I know "for sure" I'm not telling him...
because in my own lil world this is all in my head still ..lol i'm in denial you could say...
HOWEVER .. if so.. he'd be thrilled .. he wasnt really to up for the whole waiting till i'm 27 or older thing anyways....that was my ideal b/c of modeling...


YOU GUYS GET YOUR TINY BUTTS ON HERE AND TALK TO ME!!!
xoxo

[irrelevance]

ALL of what you said are symptoms of pregnancy, but not indicators, since they can be symptoms of various other things as well.... all, except for the ear ache/sore throat.. you could also just be sick which is why you're feeling this way, so don't stress out too much until you're positive! sometimes when you get sick, your body gets sore and reacts in different ways..
But good luck to you, let us know what happens!

[momsupport]

to:kassie , every time i was pg i was urinating a lot. this is a big sign. sometimes i will get symptoms of pg right before my period. like last month i was getting nausea often and headaches which i never get. stomach cramps , extreme tiredness and sore breasts but i got my period. ive been pg 4 times and i always knew when i was constantly emptying my bladder.. hope this helps..
