ever experience a vibrating sensation in lower abdomen?

Okay, so for over a week I have been experiencing a vibrating sensation in my lower abdomen.  It is like a weak cell phone or pager going off every so often and lasting about 5-10 seconds.  I am still going through all the testing for MS and am under the "official diagnosis" of suspected MS.  Although most of my symptoms have subsided since becoming pregnant with number four 11 weeks ago.  I at first assumed I am just very aware to fetal movement by this point, but have been told it is WAY to early to feel the baby.  So I googled the symptom and read that it is not uncommon, pregnant or not, but could be nerve impulses.  So who better to ask than all my friends here.  So any one else ever feel this sensation?

I am undx'd but experienced this in my left foot and lower leg so strongly I thought my cat was sitting on or next to my leg purring! Of course, cat was nowhere to be seen. I frequently experience lower level vibration in legs, especially in morning and sometimes throughout whole body. So the intensity for me anyway seems variable.

I am male, quite fit and see that this is a common aliment, which is a relief to me, but I do not see many replies which actually pinpoint (no pun intended) the cause.

I have tingling - much akin to what others describe as a mild mobile/cell phone vibration in the central region just above my penis - and it is sporadic, not painful, just annoying.  I haven't had it for months, and now when on holiday, it returned.

I try not to eat carbs, and even brought with me on holiday my home made flaxseed bread.  But of course on holiday it is difficult not to succumb to chips/fries and pastry!

Perhaps it will go away after getting back to normal?

I get vibrations mainly in abdomal area at night. they vary in intensity and often occure in a rythmic pattern like three short buzzes then stop over and over and this can go on for hours. some nights it may be continuous vibration without the strange rythym but either way it is hard to ignore and i am very aware of it which makes it hard to sleep.  i have been experiencing this for several years now and have questioned several doctors and none seem to have any answers.  obviously i am not alone and hope for the day i find out how to prevent it.
