Possibly: I realize that your question is controversial but i can only respond from experience. Although there may not be a direct cause and effete between bcp's and vein formation, there certainly is an increase in veins during pregnancy partially due to hormonal changes. Also, over the years, patients on oral bcp's were more resistant to sclerotherapy treatments and had a greater incidence of staining
