Q: Irregular periods, sharp abdominal pains, erratic bleeding-help!

New here!! HI...

I have had some very strange sympotms the past 5 months. They started when my husband returned from Iraq in July. I have extremely regular periods, down to the exact hour. I had missed my first period on the 29th of August. My period before that was July 1st. I was having the worst abdominal pains (excluding labor with my son in '06) that were like a stabbing pressure around my middle pelvic area. I had headaches that made me dizzy. I was hot all the time. There was a thick clear wierd smelling discharge from my vagina and I felt anemic again as well. I took several pregnancy tests at home which all came back negative. I went to the doctor and had 2 done in 2 weeks that both came back negative. The doctor gave me zantac. She said it was gastro-something. I never took the zantac because I felt like the doctor didnt' believe me. I made another appointment with a diffrent docor and he said externally I seemed fine. He even did a full abdomianl sweep with the heart doppler. He asked me to come back in 2 weeks to get an US (ultrasound) done. I still continued to have the sever pains, some that made me cry. I called the doctor but I kept on getting the nurses who I don't think was giving my doctor the memo that I had called because I never heard back from him. Well, my son's first birthday rolled around Sepetembe 23rd. I began to bleed but it was extremely light. It was more like spotting, I didn't even need a panty liner. In about 3 days I had begun to bleed, it lasted 15 days, and was very heavy. Then it just stopped, not even eased up, it just stopped. I tried to relay the message to the doctor, but I didnt' get a response. I didnt have such intense pains for the next month (Ocotber). I was busy with other things such as halloween to realize that I had once again, missed a period. On november 8th I began to bleed again, but this time it was VERY heavy. I had to change a "super" tampon every 2 hours. The bleeding again stopped cold in 2 days. I just recently began to have the same pains again. They are very spontanious. It just comes and lasts about 30 seconds to 2 minutes. I had been exercising before my husband came home from Iraq the first time and in 3 weeks I lost 8 lbs. I have been exercising again for almost 2 months and I have yet to loose even 1/2 a pound (I gained that weight back when my husband and I took a very long vacation). My lower abdomen is tender and I know it will sound wierd but it feels like my uterus is quivering when I am resting or sitting for long periods of time. I have taken lots of pregnancy tests that all come back negative. I am not convinced that is what is wrong but I havnt ruled it out, I would like to know if there might be something else?

Forgot to mention, on the 8th and 9th of august I had some very light bleeding, spotting really.

Add: and this urge to urninate that is just uncurable! I could have JUST gone to use the restroom and I feel like I have to go again. Its very annoying.
