It it was appendicitus then you would be in a lot more pain that just some discomfort. Keep an eye on it though to make sure it doesn't become a severe pain (in which case you would want to go straight back to the doc). If your period is about to come up, then it could very well be that. Are you taking any meds? One time I had pain in the area and realized it was from some meds I was taking because as soon as I went off of them it stopped.

I thought the same this, I am taking tetracycline, it's an oral acne medication. I've quickly gone off it for about 2 days, and normally I would take 4 pills a day. Do you know if this is a sign of being pregnant because...I had protected sex but I still feel like I might be pregnant. The condom didn't break, I think I might just be paranoid...

I agree with wakkochic,you'd be in a great deal of pain if it were your appendix.If you've gone to the doc and he says everything is fine,wait and see if things settle down.If they don't,you might want another opinion.Hope you feel better soon!Patty

Is this a sign of pregnancy? Or anything else for that matter? I'm getting a bit paranoid...

Usually that's one of the first things they check when a woman comes in with abdominal pain.I'm assuming your doctor asked you when your last period was.If the doc thought that there was a chance of you being pregnant I would think that further tests would have been done to determine that.(i hope you were honest with your doc if that question was asked!!??)you sound really stressed out by the possiblity of being pregnant,you need a more reliable birth control method.For the sake of your sanity ,if nothing else!!Feel better soon!Patty

There could be a chance that you are pregnant, as, antibiotics does effect the b/c situation.
Good luck!
Sincerely,

I was honest with my doctor, I just talked to him over the phone and he said something about a swollen ovary but nothing about being pregnant. I still have the abdominal pain but I took a home pregnancy test and it came out negative. Abstinence is looking good right now.

If you are still in discomfort on monday morning,give your doc a call and schedule an appointment.If nothing else,he can tell you for sure everything is fine.Don't feel like you're wasting his time,after all he will charge you for the visit.Go in for your own peace of mind,just to be sure!Good luck!Patty

I think I will go see my doctor is I get my period and I still have it. Do you know how soon after pregnancy you start gaining weight?

Oh,dearheart,calm down.If you are pregnant,the baby is not even the size of a pea yet!Any weight gain this early is because of too much eating,not a developing baby.You really need to calm down or you'll give yourself a nervous breakdown.If you are pregnant,deal with it when you know for sure,you can "what if" yourself right into sickness!See your doctor asap,for the sake of your sanity.Have your doc check you from head to toe.I really do hope the doctor can put your mind at ease.Best wishes,patty

I actually lost about 5 pounds about a week ago, and I haven't gained it back, which is weird, so this might be good. I would go see a doctor but I don't think anyone really understands howscared I am... I couldn't even visit my dad in the hospital when he was sick. I did take a pregnancy test and it was negative so I feel a little better and I know my period was supposed to come somewhere between the 22nd and the 24th...I think. My abdomin has gotten better and I barely feel the pain now unless I look for it. I feel like I am going to get my period soon but I have these like manic moments where I think i'm pregnant and doomed and then I calm down and think i'm an fool.

By the way, thank you for your help, I appreciate it.

Ooh, I got my period, yay! There was nothing to worry about, heehee. Thanks you guys.
