Lower Stomach Pains
Posted: 11-11-04 15:36pm

I was wondering if anyone on here had anything similar to what I am having.

About three weeks ago I started experiencing lower stomach pains. I just figured it was my period getting ready to start so I ignored it for about a week.

I am sexually active and although I always use protection I started getting worried about pregnancy. To make a long story short, I went out and got a blood test. The results were negative.

Since then I have still continuously been experiencing terrible lower stomach pains, they have gotten worse. Tomorrow I am scheduled to see a doctor about it.

It also severely hurts right after I have intercourse and when I wake up in the morning.


Does anyone have any ideas what this could be? Does any believe I could still be pregnant?

I have no idea what is going on with my body!!!

I have recently had a ovarian tumor and had my left ovary removed. I am 23 but I can remember as early as 18 getting pain in the left side bloated stomach, bowel problems, pain after sex and then the next morning stomach cramps - almost like muscle strain. You should see a doctor.

Are you sure they are stomach pains? Or are they lower abdominal/pelvic/groin pains? I wouldn't jump to the conclusion of pregnancy just yet - even if you were pregnant, pain shouldn't get very bad as you described.

..........................

Here's some questions to ask yourself (no need to share them here if you don't want to ^-^):

- do you have a watery white/clear vaginal discharge?

- do you bleed between periods and/or after intercourse?

- are your pains accompanied by nausea and vomiting?

- is the pain constant, or does it flare up only at certain times?

- does the pain worsen with physical activity (walking, jogging, exercising) or with extended periods of sitting?

- are you experiencing any breast soreness or tenderness?

- do you have normal bowel movements, or do you fluctuate between constipation and diarrhea for no reason?

- have you lost weight?

- is your abdominal area swollen, or does it appear larger?

....................

The first two (discharge, bleeding) might be a sign of cervical cancer, along with your pain following intercourse. The others could be a sign of endometriosis, ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, or even irritable bowel syndrome.

I am feeling pain in my pelvic area, along with bowel troubles, nausea, and pain with some kinds of intimate contact (not sexually active), much to my guy's disappointment Smile. I'm thinking I could have any one of those four illnesses.

But i'm glad you're not stubborn like me and you're seeking help...I've been having my pain for over 2 months and I refuse help. Please keep us updated on your status!

I wish you luck, and alleviation of your pain.

..............

A last note: blood tests are foolproof - they locate hormones produced by the placenta as early as a week after conception. So if you got a negative back, then I wouldn't worry about pregnancy, dear.
