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.
