Yes: Hi! Yes, the hormones of your pre-period cause your body to prepare for pregnancy. You can have several of the same symptoms of pregnancy prior to a cycle, though they are usually milder. If you don't have your usual cycle, however, do check for pregnancy. IUD's don't prevent pregnancy 100%.

Question 9

what does it mean when your veins on your breasts are unusually extremely visible?

Normal finding: I am amazed about how often I have women ask me about the veins on their breast.  Occasionally they are spider veins but mostly they are blue veins.  These are almost always normal findings and normal variations of chest veins.  They tend to be more pronounced in fair skinned females and they may be related to hereditary factors or even pregnancies.  No treatment is necessary unless for cosmetics.
