I have been having menstrual like cramping
in between periods, and abnormal periods
as well. I was checked out for pregnancy
but my tests were negative, Im not
pregnant. I had an pelvic ultrasound to
check for cysts, but do not have any.
To tell the truth I was very upset, part
of me was hoping the tests were wrong and
I was pregnant. After the ultrasound i
cried for almost 4 hours. I just cant
figure out whats wrong, and I am still
having the cramps. Anyone know anything
about what could be causing the cramps,
its not pregnancy , and no cysts. Any
ideas, my doctors really arent telling me
anything.

are you on birth control of any type? I
know one friend who had similar problems
and it turned out that her hormones were
just completely crazy. Her doctor put her
on birth control to level out her hormone
levels and her symptoms became much more
manageable.

No, I am not on any birth control, I have
been back to the doctor's and now they
think it could be intestinal, and
prescribed me amitryptiline for the mild
pain, but I have to wait to take it
because there is now a chance I could be
pregnant, its not likely (I think I might
have been ovulating that week) but that
isnt a risk im willing to take. I did have
my hormone levels checked out, but at the
time they were all normal, I didnt get
them all checked out just a certain few,
like my LH, prolactin, testostrone,
estrogen, and blood sugar, that was it. My
blood sugar was way low but I already knew
it was, im hypoglycemic.

I am prescribed amitryptiline for an
antidepressant. I have been told that it
is safe to take while I am pregnant. You
may want to contact your ob/gyn and ask
them how they feel about you taking this
while pregnant. Every doctor will have
different opinions.
