Movement in my stomach NOT pregnant

So I'm a 28 year old mother of 3...Have been on the IUD for about 3 years..Only meds I am taking are Phentermine 37.5mg overall good healthy, Do get migraine headaches every now and again...Few months back was taking acne pills..

Ok so that is a little medical history on me..NOW, my problem starts....I am having MOVEMENT like alot of movement in my stomach...I mean it feels like a baby REALLY...I mean I have had some off and on fluttering in my stomach for months maybe even a year or so..But the movement I'm experiencing now is more of a slow controlled movement.. Like say a small baby rolling over in your stomach or shifting places.. Oh and right under my right side ribcage I have pressure.. Doesn't hurt just some pressure like a baby's foot pressing ever so softly..Then it will stop and little while later it's there again..

I've even when out and bought a cheap O pregnancy test...All though I just starting my period.. Took test NEGATIVE. When I lay down on the bed you can actually see where like the top part of my stomach will go flat then a little little ball form down on the bottom of my stomach under my belly button area.. I keep trying to ignore it and go on but WHAT THE CRAP IS IT.. or is it just that crap??

I called my mom over to feel my stomach.. As my husband thinks I am just overreacting because I have been wanting one more baby and he does not..Anyways,, Whatever it was, was not really moving.. I couldn't even feel it but I had just went from a laying position to a standing one..But my mom did notice how my stomach would deep in slightly in one area and kind of ball up in another area....

So could this be a tapeworm or IBS could I be pregnant and have my period and the test be wrong?? Oh yeah I have also been pregnant before and doctors labeled it an "ECTOPIC PREGNANCY" because my HCG levels where increasing I was having some bleeding and when they did the ultrasound they could not find the baby.. They continued to watch my HCG levels go up and did ultrasounds no baby in tube no baby to be found any where...Also have carried a baby (My son) to a little over 5 months then suddenly went into labor..Baby didnt make it..

Going crazy....Am I a paranoid..Gonna be 30 ok well 29 year old wanna have a baby women..Or is there a really cause for concern... We live next to Roswell New Mexico,, Where they say the aliens landed..So my mom calls me in the mornings now and says how's or alien doing??? Haha.. But I know without a doubt something is moving..Don't know if you can feel a tape worm....Maybe be some serious gastritis problems....

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated as I have no insurance and really can't afford an ultrasound..

Hi I'm 28 and a mother of a almost five year old. I was on the iud mirena for almost five years. I had it taken out in January of 2016. Because I want another baby. I've had my period normally as of February. I am having nausea and morning sickness. I have taken many test and all negative. I am 8 days before my period. For a month now I have been feeling something move in my stomach when I'm laying down. I press on my belly too see if I feel it but it stops. It's freaking me out. I haven't told anyone because I don't want ppl too think I'm crazy

Please help I just started to feel as if there is a baby in me like just a minute ago I felt a small kick but I'm on my period and everytime I take a test its negative I don't understand. I have a daughter who will be two but every test I took with her was postive. I've been trying to have a baby but I'm scared to even find out what this could be if I'm not pregnant . Should I go get check from the hospital

I'm curious, even though these are old. Were any of you pregnant? You know, there's several conditions you could have/develop that make it so you have regular periods (or what seems like regular) and even get negative hpts. In fact, if you bleed while pregnant, that's why you get negative hpts. It makes it so you don't build up enough hcg. And it's called a stealth pregnancy, or less commonly, a cryptic pregnancy. I guess
There is even a semi-famous show about this. On TNT or something? Anyway, what all these women describe  could easily be a stealth pregnancy! What was it? I'm curious.

I came here hoping to find answers but I haven't, my last period was 11/04/16 so if pregnant I would be 18wks. I have nausea, vomiting, acid reflux, and heartburn. My gall bladder was removed over a year ago so I thought the heartburn was gone. I have had 3 children my last one born 11/30/2003 & tubal ligation following c-section (13.5 years ago) I am so frustrated home test are negative but I swear I have someone growing inside of me. I am afraid the doctor will think I am nuts!! If anyone has any answers please let me know!!

I'm feeling movement in my stomach.. Also almost like small gentle kicks.. Then feel like tighten on my left side.. Is this a gastrointestinal thing.. And having lower back pain... Everything I've gone to the Clinic to take a pregnancy test, it was negative... But that was before I was having these symptoms... So what do you suggest I do now???

It could be a fibroid

I am feeling the same exact thing you are describing, it is a possibility that I am pregnant,I should be about 19 to 21 weeks if I am however, the prefnancy tests that I have taken are negative, just went to the Dr. Yesterday, I really think that it is a gastrointestinal issue.it seems like everytime after I eat I begin feeling the fluttering and things that feel exactly like baby movements. I AM JUST WAITING for the blood test results to rule out that it may be pregnancy at all..so I am curious, did you find out what your issue was yet??? IBS is my possible, educated guess.

Hi I am 18. Ive been sexually active and I keep feeling almost the same thing as you all. I feel movement and fluttering in my lower stomach usually under my belly button but there are times that its above. I have no idea what it is..Ive bought pregnancy tests and even got tested in multiple hospitals. They all came up negative. About a year ago I was told that my fallopian tubes were too damaged and that I couldnt have kids. I am not on any type of birth control..I also havent gotten my period in months..all the tests came up negative so I have no idea whats going on..can anyone help?

I have had problems non-stop with nexplanon, I freakin hate it, I bleed allll the time maybe have a couple weeks off then bleed more. I have felt phantom kicks before but I have NEVER seen movement. It seems many of us feel it on our right side. I saw movement tonight and my waist is 4 inches bigger than just a few months ago and I am the type that does not gain weight unless I work out. Alcohol and cafiene can affect the implant, both of which I partake regularly. Pregnancy tests come back negative, but I havent taken one in months. And scared too since the implant seems to mask results despite what drs say.

I have the same bleeding problem with nexplanon. I hate it. I had bleeding all the time for over 4 months. One or two weeks without my period then it would start again. Dr wanted to give me birth control to help with the bleeding but didn't cause my blood pressure was a little high. You could ask your obgyn if they can give you birth control. About the movement in your tummy I have the same thing. What's scary is my husband is craving the something he was craving when I was pregnant with our daughter. So now I'm really scared to check see if I'm pregnant or not.
