    Compression socks help if you're on your feet a lot.

    Nothing takes away varicose veins or prevents them from happening. It's one of the many gems of pregnancy that you will be blessed with.
    Compression socks may reduce them a bit. Don't waste your time or money on anything other than having them surgically removed after you are done having children. (If they make you feel that self conscious)

    Nothing helps but like everyone has said compression hose might help alleviate pain and developing more.

    Mine are hereditary. I've already had 2 laser procedures done and injections over the last 5 yrs. Guess what..they are back and are worse :( I wear the hose almost every day since I'm on my legs 10/11 hrs for work. They suck. GL

Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive.  Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)
