Blue Veins & Sore Breast?!? Posted: 09-01-04 18:49pm
I have blue veins across my chest (not
breast), my breast are sore, my areola is
darkening, my legs cramp (when in bed),
frequent chills, lower abdominal pain. I
had unproetced w/ my honey in
august for 4-days straight. On the 3rd
day, my breast started feeling sore, it
has only worsen as of now. I noticed the
blue veins about 1 week ago. I got off
depo in april '04, haven't had a menstrual
cycle for 2+ years. I bled off and on may
thru the 1st week of august. Are these
early signs of pregnancy?

Girl if you haven't had a menstrual cycle
for two years than it's going to be really
hard for you to have a baby. You should
go see a doctor and tell them that you
haven't had your cycle for two years.
That's a long time. I was told not to
worry about having a child as long as you
have pretty normal cycles. I would
definatley talk to your doc.

I Went 2 the Dr. & Still Not Satisified Posted: 09-02-04 15:26pm
I was told, by not having a menstrual
cycle while on depo is natural. No, I
haven't had a cycle in two years (&
loved every minute of it). But since i've
stopped w/ the depo injections as of apr.
'04......I started bleeding from may to
the beginning of august off and on. There
were no sore breast, cramping or anything.
Until my love muffin and I in august. Now, I
am feeling all types of symptoms.
Question: why am I getting symptoms now,
when I should've gotten them for those
3-months of my off and on cycle? This is
throwing me off big time. Help a sista
out. I went to the Dr. I was told its
either a hormonal imbalance, impending
menstrual or I could be pregnant and to
wait b 4 another preg. Test.

Okay I thought you said that you hadn't
had a period for two years after you got
off depo. So I was wrong....Umm I think
your doctor would be right because you can
get symptoms from being hormonally
imbalanced. I would wait it out. Two
years is a long time to be on dope so it's
probably that. However, assume your
pregnant until you know for sure.

More 2 It Than Just That........ Posted: 09-02-04 17:44pm
Thanks for the advice pitterpatter....The
Dr. Told me that by a woman taking her
very 1st depo injection is equivalent to a
woman who has been on it for 3+ years,
such as myself. I was amazed by that, but
I still have my doubts. I feel that I am
pregnant, currently, my stomach has been
feeling kind of heavy. I know most of it
has alot to do with the 3 32oz bottles of
water that I consume daily. But, once the
wells has emptied for the day, I still
feel this way. I have checked for the
"darkening" line below my belly button to
the pelvis area..There is a slight
darkened line there. I am not sure if it
was there prior to noticingmy body changes
or not. I have noticed the darkening
around the adges of my areola. I am not
sure if that's a sign, my nipples are
about the same color the :d . What do u
think?

I still think it's probably hormonal
imbalance. The line thing wouldn't show
up I don't think until later. All the
symptoms you describe are pregnancy
symptoms. However being on depo can
cause that to happen as well. Seeing how
it's tricking your body into thinking your
pregnant. If your pregnant I would think
a test would show up as positive by now.
Try that and see what happens. However,
it sounds like your having a imbalance.
Maybe someone else on here knows what may
be going on. Good luck though! Let us
know what happens.

I have a friend who was on the shot, and
every time she was due for another shot
she would get pregnancy like symptoms. I
know you said you stopped it in may, but
maybe your body is just getting use to not
being on it. You were on it for two
years, thats a long time and you body was
use to having those shots in you. I would
just ride it out and see what happens.
Also, if you (which I have done plenty of
times) stress your self out about it, you
will give your self these symptoms. Its
called a "phantom pregnancy". I do it all
the time, if I missed a pill or something,
I will stress myself out, and every little
thing I will say is a symptom, just
becuase I want it to be. You know what I
mean? Well anyways, you just have to see
what happens and keep in touch with your
doctor if you notice anything too
irregular.
Good luck, and keep us posted!

I Hear U But a Sista Is Going Symptomatic Crazy!!! Posted: 09-03-04 12:27pm
Thanks bigmaksmom....Yes, I have hope. I
just find it strange for my body to go
through these changes after I stopped
bleeding. I assummed, since it started
and carried through and passed my
scheduled injection...The depo was
removing itself from my system. 1 to 1
1/2 weeks later, we , a few days
afterwards I started getting these
symptoms. I understand that it takes a
few months to a year for women to get
preg. After the depo. But, I also have
a friend who said his mother was on the
depo and had gotten preg. W/ him. I
also, understand that ever womens' body is
different. How long is a hormonal
imbalance process? Can my sore breast
and other symptoms go on until I actually
get a real menstrual cycle?

It depends on the person. Some women may
get symptoms for the first month after
being on depo and some women may get
symptoms longer than that.

This Will B the 2nd Time Trying to Get Pregnant Posted: 09-08-04 17:56pm
Well the blue veins are still visible, my
bb's are still sore. I have taken a hpt
and it was -. Kind of disappointing, but
I still have hope in this. I have not
gone to take a blood test. My luvmuf'n
are going to try this again in about two
weeks. I am going to start taking mucinex
again (to thin my cervical mucus, so the
little can make it to the
). Right now my
cervical mucus is thick and sticky, I
figure, if I start taking the mucinex now,
my chances will be greater within two
weeks. I am also interested in clomid (to
help ovulate/become fertile), I have gone
to planned parenthood...They don't
prescribe this from their facility. Does
anyone know where I can obtain clomid or a
generic brand? I am kind of desperate
right now. I don't want to get my hopes
up high, like I have done for the past
three weeks with the symptoms I currently
have. Help a sista out?Please!

Before you take clomid or mucinex or
anything else, please read my response to
your other post.
Also note regardless of taking these
drugs, after stopping contraceptive
injections it can take a year or more for
normal fertility and cycles to return.
Don't rush things honey, just take it as
it comes, and do be sure you are not
already pregnant before taking naything
that may thin your cervical mucus - this
is your baby's first defence barrier if
you should be pregnant.

Still Uncertain About It Posted: 09-08-04 18:32pm
What are my chances of finding out the
true facts from a blood test,if I take one
vs the hpt and planned parenthood preg.
Test? How effective is a blood test? If
no hormoanl levels are picked up from the
preg. Test, what good is the blood test
right now? It'll be a month after ttc as
of the 15th.

Honey, false negatives seem very common.
My adive would be keep trying to concieve
(but without the aid of drugs like
mucinex). Sex won't harm your baby, but
if you thin your mucus, this may well
result in a loss.
Take extra care and keep us all updated
