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 . 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.
