Could Darker Nipples And Increase In Size Be Due To Pregnancy?

I'm trying to conceive and have noticed a few changes in my nipples and body this month, my nipples have grown in size and have darkened with darker circles around them, however two days before my next due period I had heavy bleeding lasting two and a half days, my nipples still look different - could I be pregnant?

Hello,
I have gone through the query and understood your concern. The nipple changes can happen even during the premenstrual period. A chemical pregnancy is a possibility. Since you had the bleeding your chances of being pregnant are none, I am sorry to say. You can get a proper assessment done by a specialist. If you still suspect pregnancy, a sonogram of the pelvis, preferably in the trans-vaginal route, will help to clarify the situation. Please maintain a healthy weight and a healthy diet. Hope you find this information helpful.Take care.

Hello..surely there are such breast changes in pregnancy but that is neither confirmatory nor the only symptom you can rely upon to think that you are pregnant..esp if you have had heavy bleeding you should immediately go for a urine pregnancy test..if positive then for an urgent TVS (transvaginal ultrasound)..this will clarify whether you have a safe intaruterine pregnancy or not..
If your UPT is negative..you can take tranexa tablets thrice a day for three days to stop the bleeding followed by further workup.
