EEEEEKKKKK!!

I know I'm not imagining things...the veins are getting more noticeable by the day!! and...A few days ago I didn't have any veins in my chest/stomach area and now i'm noticing that they are becoming visible too!
Someone mentioned in another post that a hormone imbalance can cause pregnancy symptoms. While the symptoms are subsiding, the veins are not....and my boobs hurt!
Does anyone know if a hormone imbalance can cause increased blood flow to the bb's and chest? And is it possible to have sticky/white/creamy cm and be pregnant?
Sorry if i'm driving ya'll crazy w./similar questions, I just can't seem to figure out where this sh** is coming from!!

I'm going to wait until 5/19 to see if AF comes. If not, i'm going to get a blood test. Just wanting some more advice in the meantime!

I'd like to just add that I suddenly have heartburn or indigestion (are they the same thing?) I have this burning type pain in my lower throat and near my windpipe and upper chest. I'm not sure how to fix this b/c i take synthroid and cannot take antacids for 4 hours after taking meds and I just took them. dammit! Any suggestions for heartburn other than antacids? (also wondering if this is a early pregnancy symptom)

thank you soooooo much for being kind and helpful!
I ask if it's a hormone imbalance b/c I've recently been collecting saliva samples throughout my last cycle to determine my hormone levels and if they are out of whack. The only thing is...i've been experiencing a hormone imbalance (at least estrogen dominance) symptoms for a LONG time now and i've never had these veins before. Also, even if a new hormone was out of balance suddenly, why would my veins just become darker and noticeable on areas that i've NEVER noticed before??? Doesn't make any sense to me.
About 1 week ago I was looking down at my chest and saw what I thought was a bruise on the top of my aerola. I showed it to my husband and from a distance, he said it was just a vein. So i'm thinking...okay, even HE can tell it's a vein! But I only had that one. And then a few nights ago i noticed a vein on my RIGHT aerola...
I asked my husband if he saw more veins on my chest and he looked RIGHT AT THEM and said noooo.. But I could tell he was lying and he knows why i'm asking. A few months ago I had hardly ANY veins and even then he said he could see a lot and it looked like a map so now, for him to say no...he's fibbin!
I'm so nervous to go to a doc. B/c I either conceived when I thought I could have, which would have been around O which was 4/2 or i conceived later than that, and I have no idea when that could be. So I want to wait a litle longer just in case I am only a little ways along.
The thing that throws me off is that 4/24 (10 days after "af" on 4/14 which was 4 days early) I had EWCM that was watery but it was tinged with blood. this has never happened to me before so I don't know whether to think it was O or possibly IB which would mean I O'd later than I thought.

SInce "Af" on 4/14 DH and I have been using condoms. One broke at the top (or bottom??) close to his stomach so I doubt any sperm could have come out, and even if it did, that was a couple days ago so theres no way i'm already feeling "signs" by now.

WHEW....sorry....that's my tangent and story!

It sounds to me like you are pregnant. I noticed a few at the beginning and I was like 4 weeks and noticed them on my chest and belly. It can be from a hormonal imbalance but it is pretty rare. You are not driving us crazy. We are here to help. I am 32 weeks and ask thousands of similar questions all the time...... Keep me posted
