A member asked:
Im not pregnant cause i just had my period yet my nipples seem to get dark sometimes throughout the day, especially after a shower, is this normal?

Yes: Not only do hormonal disorders(including pregnancy) cause changes in the aureolae, local changes in blood flow do too. This will cause the change you mention.
