I have pain clear across my lower abdomen. This month I was 12 days late on my cycle, and never had the problem before. It was a very dark red. I've also gained about 8lbs within 2wks. My stomach is swollen to the point that I look to be 5 mos pregnant. I also have alot of pain in my lower back clear across. I'm not pregnant and 34 yrs old. Anyone have a clue to what I may have?

I believe that you need to see a doctor as soon as possible. I would explain the symptoms to the receptionist so that she will realize the importance of your situation. The symptoms that you describe: ovarian cysts,ovarian tumor(which could be multiple cysts formed on the ovary). I know the word tumor sounds strong yet I recommend that you seek help soon. If this releases any anxiety-ovarian cancer is very slow growing-it develops over many years.On the other hand ovarian cysts are quick growing and many women do not even realize they have any. I have had an ovarian tumor and cysts. The tumor was the size of a grapefruit and benign-it was multiple cysts growing on one ovary.The ovarian cysts that I would get, on the other ovary-would sometimes "burst" on their own. Prior to the cyst "bursting" I would have extreme pain and after the "bursting" the pain would be gone.It is not uncommon for females to have ovarian cysts. In both scenarios-my period would become erratic,such as no periods and then having periods two weeks apart etc. In any event, I again would recommend you see a Dr. as soon as possible and if the pain becomes intense-be seen in the emergency room. I hope this helps.

I am glad you asked this question.  I will do my best to answer it in this forum because actually your situation is very complex and you need further work up and study.\n\nFirst, I would think first that you are not ovulating or producing the hormones to have a period.  Your OB/GYN can run tests on your blood to see what your levels are.  If normal then for study as to why your uterine wall is not thickening.\n\nSecond thing to consider with your abdominal cramping is endometriosis.  This is where the menstrual flow goes into your abdominal cavity rather than out of your body as it should\n\nThird. I am sorry to say that your gynecologist just doesn't seem to want to investigate this further.  I would check into seeing another OB/GYN.  Contact your insurance provider to see what other docs take your insurance.\n\nI hope this helps.

There's a slight possibility you may have retained products of conception, in which case a d & c could be in order, which should help.  You should definately follow through with your doc appointment, because of course pain is never normal and you should have everything checked out.  It is likely something hormonal and/or easy to fix, and a lot of women experience something like this afterwards...try to hang in there.  Good luck.

I don't know if you are a man or woman so I will give you advice for both \nWoman You might be pregnant, if you are still having regular periods it can be normal.  Go to a OB/GYN or just a GYN\nMan or woman You might be constipated and are back up and it can be very painful. It could be apendicitis\nThe main symptom of appendicitis is belly (abdominal) pain. The pain can feel like indigestion or like you need to have a bowel movement or pass gas.\n\nYou may have appendicitis if: \n\nYou have pain in your belly. The pain begins around your belly button but is felt all over your belly. \nWithin several hours, the pain gets stronger and then moves below your belly button on your right side (the lower right quadrant). The pain does not go away and gets worse when you move, walk, or cough. \nYou have pain in the upper right quadrant. \nYou feel nauseous or throw up a few times. You also may not feel like eating. \nYou have constipation, back pain, a slight fever, or a swollen abdomen. \nYou feel tired and do not have a lot of energy.\nI suggest going to the doctor to get checked out.

see a dr. It could be something to do with your kidneys. I waited 2 weeks with a back ache & then I finally ended up in the ER with other complications. I ended up with a severe kidney infection. I'm in the health care field so I should know better. Don't wait anything that is out of the ordinary should be checked out.

HCG level is the standard measurement for molar pregnancy. If your mole had recurred, your hcg level would have risen. I'm not sure what is causing your headaches, but perhaps it's stress? As for the abdominal pain, that is common after a D&C because it takes time for your uterus to return to size.

The symptoms you described are pregnancy symptoms, but they're also the symptoms of a woman late for her period and freaking out wondering why.  Believe me, I know.  ;)\n\nYou're only a couple of days late, but I'd see your doctor if you're confident that you're really late.  He or she can give you a blood test to determine if you are pregnant or not by measuring the quantity of pregnancy hormone in your blood.  This is called a quantitative hCG test.  It will tell you for sure if you are pregnant or not and you can have it done right now if you want because you are already late for your period and your levels only have to be greater than 2 to show pregnancy (whereas with a urine test, they have to be 25 or more).  If you aren't pregnant, you should ask your doctor to help you figure out what's keeping your period away.\n\nThe bigger question, though, is whether or not you're trying to get pregnant.  If you are, you're likely to have trouble.  A 21-day cycle is not really long enough, usually, for your body to properly ready itself for a pregnancy and then give a fertilized egg long enough to implant.  I'd suggest charting your temperature to make sure you're ovulating.  I also suspect that if you are ovulating, you have a short luteal phase, where the fertilized egg doesn't have enough time to implant before you start your period, which can be corrected with medication.  You should really see your doctor if you are trying to get pregnant.\n\nIf you are not trying to get pregnant, stop having unprotected sex!  There are about a zillion birth control methods, and if you don't want a baby, you should use one.  I'm not trying to be harsh, but there's no reason to be having unprotected sex when you don't want a baby.  If you think birth control is expensive, try raising a child.  You can probably get birth control free or at relatively low cost at your local health department or Planned Parenthood.\n\nGood luck, and I  hope you get the outcome you want!

well i guessing you haven;t had your period. and yes that could be the reason or it could be a while. your hormones are changing. we will be sad some days, moody, get snappy. its normal. you could visit your doctor and ask them to do a check up for your stomach, just in case. i wouldn;t want you to have somthing else. but it could be likly you may be having cramps

it could be a number of things.  endometriosis, cyst, fibroid, fluid, swelling, PID.  If you are in severe pain and can not get to your doctors office then you need to goto the ER.  To be on the safe side.  Good luck!  I hope you feel better.  You could try webmd and see if you see anything on there.

see a dr asap! that could be an infection, and if u have tummy-ache it could be infection spreading. you could end up sterile if you wait too long

Theoretically you could be pregnant. The symptoms you have don't seem typical to me at all...\n\nSo try to take it easy - and if your period is more than a week late, take a test.

Earlier I told you about thrombosis, but with the swollen tummy, I don't expect that so much. I expect you are just retaining water. This could be because of your menstral cycle. My tummy and my legs do that too.\n\nDon't worry about it too much!

Tipped or dropped uterus has nothing to do with it! I have one and do not experience pain and my significant other is well endowed. \n\nI would def go and get a 2nd opinion. \nWhat I think off the top of my head that might be the cause is your uterus hasn't fully healed. A D&C (which Im assuming was the type of abortion you had) IS invasisive and they do scrap the walls of your uterus. Then the IUD got inserted and your body rejected it do to maybe minor scarring on your uterus(again Im assuming this si what happened) and then you had it removed which might have as well scarepped the walls of your uterus. I would advice staying away from pork and aspirin( slow donw the heeling process same thing they tell you when you get a tattoo) get on the pill or another form of birth control for a good 4-6 months so your uterus can heal and keep sex to a minimal and nothing ruff (easier said than done) just let you body bounce back to normal and you should feel better

my periods were crazy too.. and in november it hadnt shown up so i took a test which had a very faint line.. on my way to work i picked up a digital test at kmart. and i did it on my break.. and what would you know that very faint line meant pregnant. the digitals are nice because its either pregnant or not pregnant. it spells it out for you. no little lines, or wondering if thats a second line. my suggestion obviously, get a digital one. it'll tell you the truth. then visit your doctor if it says pregnant. they'll do another test to completely confirm and talk to you about prenatal care. good luck

The sit ups have nothing to with the fact that you are still bleeding.  You didn't mention how long you have been bleeding but if it has been for at least a week you may want to call the doc and let his nurse know so she can ask if this is normal for you.  The miscarriage also was not caused or related to the sit ups either.  When you have a miscarriage it means there was something wrong with the baby and that is natures way of taking care of it.

It can be ovulation... sometimes people get pain when they ovulate.  \n\nIt could be a cyst around your ovary.  if it is, it would be extremely painful if you ovulated and there is a cyst there.  The cyst could have also burst, and that would be VERY painful. \n\nIt could also be your appendix. Women can get mixed up because your appendix is on the right side as well.  You could have appendixitis (when your appendix gets enlarged). \n\n\nIn any case you should see your doctor bc you may need an ultrasound of the area to check for a cyst or your appendix.
