Q: Diarhhea & cramping while TTC
asked by: DoctorQuestion on January 1st, 2007
Well I really dont know where to begin, but I had a miscarriage back in Mid August- September. Things were fine after that. Then on nov 23 I spotted brown stuff and about a week later had six positive pg tets, but all the blood tests came out negative. Then on dec. 11 I started my period and it ended 7 days later. The docs didnt look at me or anything and I say three docs and none seem concerned. They said prob a chemical pregnancy .Starting last week which was dec. 26 I got sharp cramping pain in my ovary area and rectum area. It gets so bad sometimes I cant pee or anything, but it just goes away. Now it isnt really time for my period but I have very swollen tender breasts. I am constantly tired and cranky. I mean I sleep like ten or eleven hours a night and I still am tired all day. I have had diarhhea and I have lost about fifteen pounds off and on for the past few weeks. But it isnt from diarhhea, because that only happens every few days. I dont know if the diarhhea has anything to do with my sharp pains or not but I was wondering what the two things could mean. Like could the cramping be from a tubal pregnancy? And what could my diarhhea mean? I have had it terribly off and on since july. I do have ibs but it has never been like this.

Usually the pain from a tubal pregnancy does not come and go.



The pain comes when the tube ruptures and you would have to go to hospital.






From what you describe it does sound like a chemical pregnancy.



If that is the case it could take a little while for your cycle to settle back down.






If your period began on dec 11 it is possible that the cramping your felt around dec 26 is from ovulation.






The loss of weight and diarrhea could well be related to your ibs. It would be advisable for you to contact your doctor and ask to be referred to a gastroenterologist to help with that matter.






It may be that the stress of the holiday season, coupled with the possibility of being pregnant, only to find it was probably a chemical pregnancy has affected your system.

Pregnancy Answer A2119
According to the data you provided about negative blood pregnancy tests and having your period on the 11th of December, it seems that you ended that particular menstrual cycle without a pregnancy. It is too early yet to determine if you became pregnant in your next cycle, or not. Cramping and diarrhea are not signs of pregnancy but could be signs of an intestinal infection or maybe irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Symptoms such as tender breasts, fatigue, and sleepiness are not secure signs of pregnancy. You can observe your menstrual period. If you miss your period, you can take another home pregnancy test.
Pregnancy test is also positive in tubal pregnancy but the gestation sack can’t be detected in the uterus on ultrasound scan.
