Unbearable Back Pain In First Trimester, Why And How???
Posted: 01-31-07 17:24pm

I will try to keep this as informative, yet suckers as I can.

I just found out on the 29th that I am pregnant. The shock of this hasn't gone away yet. (my hubby is fixed)

for over a week I have been going to the doctor everyday to try and find out the cause of the most excruciating back pain I have ever had in my life. I can not move in any way with out all the muscles in my back and around my lower sides seizing up and going into spasms. It does it when I just move my head or try to inhale a little bit more than normal. I am unable to do anything. The pain is so intense.

I have had so many tests run, they have looked at my bones and major organs! My doctor was stumped. I suggested a preg test, at the urging of a friend. Not 30 mins later he telling me that i'm pregnant!

I am still taking a 30mg codeine sulfate twice a day. (which I was assured that this would not harm the baby) and I was taken off all other meds.

Yesterday I went in for an ultrasound to be checked out. We were hoping to determine gestation. They used the wand that gets inserted into the vagina since it's so early. They didnt find anything but the cyst thinggie in there. They think I may only be 2-3 weeks preg.

How the heck can I be in this much pain and only be 2-3 weeks preg???

(this will be my 3rd child) my other two preg were quite plesant!!!

If anyone knows whats going on here I would love to be informed. My doctor says that theres no real reason for me to be in this much pain.

Some cysts can release the hormone hcg and cause you to get a false postive pregnancy test. I had a false positive back in november and just now found out that I have multiple cysts on each ovary. I would ask for another ultrasound because if you are pregnant then they should be able to see something with the transvaginal ultrasound. It would be very small but you would be able to see it.

They tested my blood twice and checked some nubers. I asked them if there was anyway for it to be a false pos. They said no because of the amount of (?) in my system. I cant remeber what it was. The schedueled me for another ultrasound in a week. They said it was normal to not be able to see anything if I only got preg 2 weeks ago. Its not in the uterus yet.

I was reading the "tummy and back cramps" forum. So much of that sounds like what i'm going thru...

Does the cramping from the uterus feel like deep muscle cramps? Is this what im feeling? Or is it different?

Shocked ...What?


Correct me if i'm wrong here...


You can't be pregnant 2 weeks. Pregnancy is calculated from the first day of your last period. 2 weeks would be roughly(depending on the length of your cycle) the time you ovulated. And it takes roughly 10 days after that for an egg to implant. That being said....

is not true because in order for your body to produe the .Hcg horomone, the egg has to be implanted in the uterus lining.


But maybe you mean you are 2 weeks pregnant because you're counting from your concieved date(ovulation) so then that would make you 4 weeks pregnant (which is still kinda early for it to be seen on u/s I think)

i don't understand why the doctors would tell you that you're 2-3 weeks pregnant. That makes no sense.


Try posting this in the "am I pregant?" or "pregnancy" forum. You might get more replies.


Good luck!!
