A member asked:
My veins have become more visible.chest, lower abdomen, arms, legs(none bulge) - is this normal because i'm really pale? or a result of bcp and stress?

Prominent veins: Prominent veins are normal in light colored/pale people. Veins can be hormone sensitive and bulge and cause pain during your cycle. Unless they become >2-3mm and painful i would ignore them.
