I know this is a repeated question but this time I plan on reading what you all say!!

I've asked about blue veins  on bb's before and many women agree that this is a pregnancy sign but not in and of itself. If you've read my posts, then you know I've tested and got BFN on my HPT's but also have some pregnancy symptoms that come and go. I realize it could be a hormone imbalance, cysts, endometreosis, etc. But what I CAN'T seem to find is what else causes increased blood flow to the breasts, therefore causing visible veins.
Sooooo.....as of today, I' noticed these blue veins that are going through my aerolas (round area around nipple) on the tops and sides of my aerolas. A week ago I noticed blue veins across my chest that seem to be slowly getting darker (i never noticed blue veins on my left breast  during all those times i looked and now suddenly they're VERY obvious!)

Have any of you had this and it not be a pregnancy sign? If I were preggo I would be 6 weeks on friday (according to lmp-which was early and lighter but still period-ish w/out heavy cramps)

If I'm one of those rare women who is pregnant and the HPT just won't pick up the levels, does anyone know why and/or what causes that?

I appreciate any feedback! Thanks everyone!

had af on 4/14 (4 days early). No clots, very little pain, only lasted 3 days and then spotted. Had pregnancy symptoms starting 5 dpo (date was 4/7 if I o'd 4/2) and they haven't gone away sense. Sometimes I pee constantly, sometimes i don't. sometimes I'm starving all day (like today) and other days i'm fine. But every day I've had lower abdominal cramping, increased thirst and gas. I know...not necessarily pregnancy signs. Over the course of the last 3 weeks I've had vertigo, changes in cm (from EWCM to creamy, to clear and very wet, back to creamy...), nausea, (almost vomited today), blue veins become more prominent, tingling sensation in right breast, soreness in right breast, moodiness (throughout entire 3 weeks), fatigue

i think that's it but I may be forgetting some. i realize it may not be pregnancy but i know something's up, even if it's just a cyst! i just hate to pay for a blood test and be wrong AND disappointed!

Have you missed your peroid yet? I would call your doctor and get a blood test. Let me know

ugh..it's so frustrating. and today I experienced for the first time ever this tingly sensation in my right breast. I actually feel it right now. It's like a tickle/tingle/itchy feeling inside the breast. But....i don't have any breast tenderness since LMP except for a few days ago (when I took the progesterone cream) I started getting a tender right breast (again!) and it's still tender. It's weird how everything is always my right breast. hmm....hope nothing's wrong w/it! Eeekkk

I have those blue veins. I don't know why they'd be darkening and becoming more prominent though!
