Confusing Symptoms

Hi,

I have a mixture of symptoms and would really like some answers! I have had pain in my lower abdomen for a couple of weeks, the pain will often change and move to different areas and is currently in my back (lower left side).

I have been weeing more frequently that usual and this happened last month around the same time, but it does not feel like cystitus (which i have had several times before).

I have days when I feel sick and have frequent headaches and dizziness.

My nipples are quite tender also and this also happened around the same time last month.

Me and my partner have been trying for a baby for the last 2 months - so i'm hoping its pregnancy but it doesnt feel like it (if that makes sense).

PLEASE help!!!!

I too have had the same symptoms along with constant 'shedding' of utern lining for 4 months (all pregnancy test are neg). I finally broke down and went to the ER and the ER doc said it was pelvic inflammatory disease and prescribed pegestrone to stop the bleeding then 2 weeks later I had a semi normal period and things are kinda better but not 100% .... Hope this helps hope everything is ok.

Hi and thanks for using the forum.

Well, the only way to know for sure if you are pregnant is to take a test.  So, once you miss your period (fingers crossed!), you can go ahead and test.  There are some tests that are able to detect pregnancy up to 5 days prior to your missed period, but I always recommed waiting until you miss a period .

Next, if the pain persists, you should get checked out by your doctor.  It could be something like a urinary tract infection and you would want to have this treated sooner rather than later if it is.  

Finally, if the consitpation/ diarrhea continues, you should ask  your doctor about this.   It could be something simple related to your diet or it could be something like an irritable bowel.  I would look further into this if it becomes a persistent problem.

Good luck and I hope this helps.
