Tubal Pregnancies, Appendicitus, And Abdominal Pain... Posted: 07-23-04 00:04am
How do I distinguish between these three?
(i don't know if anyone's realized but
i've made like 100 topics about this
because I keep diagnosing myself.)
anyways, I had sex about a week before I
started ovulating, and we used condoms
with spermicide. They didn't break or
anything but I have this feeling I got
pregnant somehow anyways, and this very
well might be a result from having a
pregnancy scare from sometime before.
So like my lower right abdomin has been
been...Bothering me. It's like a dull
bothersome pain, and I mostly feel it when
I sit up. I've had it for about three
days now, and it hasn't gotten worse. I
am supposed to get my period either today
or tomorrow. This is worrying me very
much and i'm afraid it's going to delay my
period and worry me more, and at this
rate, i'll never get my period.
I called my family-type doctor and he said
not to worry for now, it might be from my
period, and he mentioned something about a
swollen ovary. I was worried about
having appendicitus but I don't think I
have a fever and the pain isn't sharp or
severe. I did have diarrhea for about a
day but it went away, and originally,
that's why I thought I had the pain from.
Now my question is, which is it, if any?
What is ovarian swelling? Does anyone
have any comments or suggestions? Has
anyone ever had appendicitus or a tubal
pregnancy? If so, what are some
sure-tell symptoms? When should I go to
the doctor for sure? I am very afraid of
doctors/hospitals, especially of
hypodermic needles and such. Please, I
need some insight or anything, just
something to help me. Thank you.

I think you should take a pregnancy test.
If your period is supposed to come
tomorrow, then it is the perfect time to
test. Of course you could just wait until
it comes, but the pain you're describing
is exactly like the pain I got when I was
pregnant and my uterus began to stretch.

You can take a pregnancy test the same day
you miss your period? Did you have a
normal pregnancy or a tubal pregnancy?
If I am pregnant, what other signs are
there to imply this and not something
else?
