Is it normal for my areolas to change shape, size, and color within days?

Asked By:Resourceful573337 in Breast

Over the past few days my areolas seem to have gotten much smaller, lighter and feel softer then usual. Could this be normal or should I have reason for concern? I had a recent ultrasound on my breast which came back normal but there was still no clear reason as to why this is all of a sudden happening. Could it be because it is that time of fhe month? My primary care doctor ordered ultrasound just to give me a piece of mind after finding no sign of any abnormalities, but I still feel uneasy.
