Severe lower stomach pains. Posted: 11-14-07 17:56pm
So Monday night I ended up in the ER. My
lower stomach was hurting to the point it
made me sick.. The ER dr's took blood and
did a pap and said they didn't see
anything wrong
She told me it could be : early
appendicitis(sp).. but unlikely
Ovarian cist .. But they look ok
Twisted overies ... but the pap was
normal
Or my
body changing.. etc.?
She did not have much of an answer but to
take pain meds and if it continues to go
back to the ER. I am not due for my af for
another week or so according to Fertility
Friend. Yesterday I was off so I was able
to rest. But now that I am back at work
standing I am getting pains in my lower
stomach again .
The best she did tell me was concerning my
Mitral Valve Prolapse.. Which is not what
I was there for
Do any of you have advice? I am at my wits
end..

Your pap smear isn't back yet. They send
it to the lab, it takes longer than 2 days
for that to come back. And a pap smear
won't tell you anthing about twisted
ovaries.
So they did an ultrasound to see your
ovaries? Did they also do some pregnancy
testing?
Have you gone to your regular doctor for
follow up?

I don't have a regular Dr. and The ER Dr.
Said she was going to do an ultrasound but
didn't. They did a urin test.. and it came
back negative.. She said that I could be
prego but it would be too early and if I
experienced any bleeding to come back in.

They can't truly rule out cysts then if no
ultrasound was done. Nor twisted ovaries.
Since your period is a week away, of
course a urine test wouldn't be positive.
I can't believe if they thought you may be
pregnant they didn't do an ultrasound and
a blood test.
You should find a regular doctor to see
and follow up with.

Yeah she said they could only rule out a
few things that there was not much that
she could help with.
They ended up giving me a mild pain med to
ease it some but I don't know ..
Do you think my dh could have hit
something in there to cause this?

Had you recently had rough sex? Yes, sex
can cause your cervix to get ouchy. But
not like you are describing the pain after
standing, etc.
Why don't you have a regular doctor? Who
does your pap smears usually? Who do you
see for other illnesses?

I see you are trying to become pregnant.
It would be a good idea to find an ob/gyn
BEFORE you actually get pregnant. You
should also be taking prenatal vitamins
now. A pre-pregnancy appointment is
a GREAT time to get to know your new
doctor!

No not rough sex.. normal but I made him
stop cause it was hurting. Then the pain
just got worse.. Even when she did the
pap.. the duck thing (sorry don't know the
name of it) hurt.
I haven't found one up here yet.. or
haven't looked. The last pap I got was
just before I stopped taking the pill.
And usually unless I can't take it I just
take care of myself.. I have issues with
dr's and normally if I get a cold or
something I just take dayquill and sleep
it off.

I am ttc.. and I know that I should see an
ob/gyn.. So I will start looking for one.
As far as the prenatals..I take reg. multi
vitemans and b12&b6 should I switch
those for a prenatal and will it make me
sick?
