Nipple and breast changes?
Hello, I'm 19.
I'm glad to update that I've come to the facts and know I'm not pregnant. (It's been 9 weeks since my dry sex encounter, I've gotten 2 periods since and have no pregnancy symptoms). I'm so thankful for what scarleteen and the staff here provides.
I had a question. Before my last period I noticed my areoles have darkened and I had veins throughout my breasts. No sensitivity or swellingness. I thought it was pms but I'm on the last day of my period and it hasn't gone away. Is this normal?

Re: Nipple and breast changes?
Since we can't see this in person, and also don't -- like you or your healthcare provider would -- have any record of your general breast health, don't do your breast exams, and don't know how different this is from your nipple and breast appearance normally, this isn't something we're going to be able to weigh in on.
Breast and nipple changes throughout puberty, however (and at 19, you're still in it), are typical. Too, it's common when people have had a pregnancy scare for them to be hyper aware of their bodies, and we've found that many users in this spot have observed things about their bodies when they're in this kind of headspace that seem to be based on them simply never being so observant before.
But if you're very concerned about this, your next step is to check in with a healthcare provider.

Oh I see. It's not too concerning for me since, given my situation. And yes, that is very true about how a pregnancy scare how it makes you more aware of your body. I think this was just something I didn't pay any attention to before.
Thank you Heather once again!
