About four to five weeks ago I notice something strange on my stomach, in about a 3-inch circle around by belly button. The area of my skin, directly over my veins, has dark patches which outline where my veins are. My skin is blotchy there. I am in great shape, I exercise seven days a week and eat healthy.

I thought that the patches might be due to sleeping with a heating pad on my stomach, but I haven't used one for about three weeks now and the patches are still there. I switched from Depo-Provera to the pill in mid December (Loestrin 1/20) after a severe reaction to Depo. Before switching to Loestrin I tried Ovucon but I had another reaction to it.

I am wondering if the dark patches and occasional nausea are due to the pill? Do you have any other suggestions on what the reaction might be due to?

Never, ever get medical advice from ATOT. :D That said, I'd call your doctor and see what he/she says. It probably is normal but just be on the safe side. :)
