What Causes Dark Blue Veins All Over My My Breasts?
I have been ttc and recently got what I thought to be my period. I have all kinds of symptoms but mostly my areola is huge and sore and I have huge dark blue veins all over my breast continuing down and around my areola. They hurt so bad, what else could it be. I took my last test at 15dpo and it was negative. What could thus be, could I still be pregnant?

Breast veins engorge during pregnancy under the influence of hormones.Level of female hormones (oestrogens and progesterone ) diminishes after delivery and comes to normal level after lactation is over.Pigmentation of areola also diminishes.Prominent veins regress to some extent.
