I didn't realize this was a pregnancy symptom until today. I am now 18 days late for my period and have taken 4 urine tests (5 days late, 7 days late, 12 days late, and 16 days late...all negative). I used my first morning urine on the on 2 of them and the one taken at 12 days was at my doctors office in the middle of the afternoon when I had a hard time even going to the bathroom - I had to kind of force it. I have not taken a blood test yet so that will most likely be done at my next appointment which is scheduled for July 6th if I dont start another period by then. I was on birth control from May 2007 - May 2008 without missing a day in May so the likelihood that I am pregnant is small and I could be overreacting but with these veins, I am not overreacting. I also have heard that the blue veins can appear while on the pill but I find it weird that they show up now and I have missed my period. I am now off the pill (doctor's orders) until/if I start my next cycle.

Symptoms

I noticed the blue veins late last month (May). They are on each breast and travel to the nipple. I have started having brief headaches right above my left eye. It is like a sharp pain then its gone. The longest it has lasted is on and off for a day. I have had minor cramping (similar to my period starting). I felt like I was going to get my period when it was supposed to come (May 31) and once again 7 days later (June 6) but I have had no spotting, blood, or discoloration. My breasts do not feel sore but they do look a little fuller then normal. I drink pretty much only water, tea, and juice and have noticed lately that I go to the bathroom a little more then normal. It isn't an urgent sensation to go but its just a little more frequent than normal. I noticed a small amount of discharge about 4 days ago but that could be from being off the pill also as I used to discharge like that normally before being on the pill.

I am not sure if I have a specific question rather hearing advice from anyone else who has experienced the same thing or similar and what caused it. I understand most of the symptoms I have had can be related to the pill or hormonal imbalance. If this happened to you and you had mulitple negative pregnancy tests what was the final outcome if you weren't preggo? If you turned out to be preggo how many days late were you when you finally tested positive?

Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to give all details that I can think of instead of having to add more. This is a very confusing time for me so I want to thank anyone in advance for any advice you can give.
