A member asked:

I took two at home pregnancy test and both were negative but my areolas are dark could i be pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doubtful: Pregnancy: missed cycles, weight gain, breast fullness/heaviness. Occasionally the nipples/areolas may darken; however a pregnancy test is needed to confirm the diagnosis.
