Stomach Hardness

Hello,
For the past two weeks i've had the part under my bellybutton hard. From time to time If I press on my right side I feel this lump that moves but then disappears. Two weeks ago I had my period which was extremely light and brown. Throughout these two weeks I've only had around two bowel movements.
I also took two pregnancy tests in case it was a pregnancy but they both were negative.
What could this be?

Hopefully you have already gone to a doctor.  It sounds like you have constipation, a blockage, or a hernia, as the area below your belly button is the intestines. It could also be a cyst on a pelvic organ interfering with intestinal functions.

The light stool color is usually a sign of reduced bile. That could be caused by a blockage in the biliary tree that feeds bile from the liver to the gallbladder, enzymes from the pancreas, and both into the small intestine.

If you haven't already, go to a doctor as soon as possible!

I suggest you see your doctor or go to the ER ASAP. It's not good if you only had 2 bowel movements in 2 weeks! You need to be checked now

Oh and around 3 to 4 weeks ago I had a big fall where I hit my left hip (just above the hip). For a week or two I felt pain when sneezing and laughing...could it be related to that?
