I’m on birthcontrol and sometimes forget to take them at the same time everyday or i have missed one or two every so often. Me and my boyfriend have sex on the regular w/o condoms. We both went to get checked together so we know were both clean, anyways the last time we had sex i had this very sharp pain but only in the right side of my uterus. I was kinda freaking out because I have never felt that before. So now im starting to worry if i could possibly be pregnant or even have an ectopic pregnancy. Not only just that but im worry if i may have an ovarian cyst or something of that sort. within the last month i have been quite tired a lot. I’ve gained weight, eat more, my boobs hurt constantly, lower back pain, frequent urination, and some dizzy spells. I’m not quite sure what this is and i know your probably thinking go take a pregnancy test, but i really wana know if anyone els has experienced something like this or can relate. thanks for taking the time to read this.

There are some really weird things going on that are worrying me. They may or may not be related. I have been to the doctor once but not since due to an insurance fiasco.

First, no matter what I eat, I feel weird after. I wouldn’t say I feel nauseous and I don’t vomit, I have his feeling like I’m hungry again, I have what seems like heart burn, I get bad gas (out of both ends) and have searing pain from the middle of my abdomen up to my chest randomly. It is mainly when I eat grain products and dairy, but I just had a salad and I feel that way too. I have had this once before, two years ago, but this is worse. I have never been very regular and I am more constipated now.

Second, I have strange pain under my ribs and in my upper back, especially when I breathe out. This isn’t constant but at least once a day I feel this. It is annoying. I also have some pain at the top of my breasts, pretty much on my chest. This is what I went to the doctor for initially and they pretty much said they didn’t know what was wrong and that it was probably stress. I am busy and under a lot of stress as a senior in college, but even when I’m relaxed I feel this.

Third, I have lower back, lower abdominal and pelvic pain sometimes. This has occurred in the past and never bothered me but I find myself concerned. Cramps are normal before and during my period but not after, like now. I am sexually active but I am very careful (we use condoms, the pill and he won’t ejaculate inside the condom while he’s in me) and have one partner, so there is no way I could be pregnant or have an STI. I have been tested since my last partner and I was clean. I had a normal period this month also.

Fourth, and this has been going on for a very long time, I am extremely fatigued all the time. I can get an hour of sleep, 8 hours of sleep or a whole day of sleep and still feel the same. Putting one foot in front of the other is a chore, forget working out. I’ve gained weight because of this. I am taking multivitamins to see if that helps and it’s not helping so far.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? These are all real symptoms. My mom says I’m a hypochondriac but I am just trying to take care of myself and want some peace of mind until I can get back to the doctor. My friend has something similar going on and they have no idea what’s wrong. Her main issue is the feeling sick after eating anything. I’ve thought of IBS, gallbladder issues, Crones disease, endometriosis, an ovarian cyst, some sort of infection, pregnancy (which I definitely am not after the normal period), a thyroid problem, a gluten allergy, etc. Not sure if any of those things are possibilities, I will probably have blood drawn at the appointment. Has anyone else felt this way? Any info. would be great.
Just to clear something up, I got the insurance mess taken care of today. I have coverage and have made an appointment for next week. I just want to hear some opinions.

I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend the day that I got off my period (he "pulled out") then I had sex using condoms around the time of ovulation. My boyfriend noticed some liquid on the outside of the condom and to be safe we purchased emergency contraceptives. A little less than a week later I had some light spotting for a couple days. A week after that I began to experience dull pain in my lower left abdomen. I ignored the pain until one morning I woke up with extremely severe pain to the point that I could not move to get out of bed. This was on day 30. My cycles are usually 28-30 days. I’ve taken two pregnancy tests as a precaution. Both of which came out as negative. My mother said she experienced something similar when she had an ovarian cyst at age 29. Do you think this is an ovarian cyst or something else? Help is appreciated

Here’s the rundown to the point. My last period was Mar 10, 09. lasted the norm 4 to 5 days. It was due April 15, 09 and never showed. I took a pregnancy test a week after period was due, it was negative. Ive been having mild to sharp pains in my abdomen since 5 days before my expected period. It has been constant also accomodated with lower back pain, frequent urination, and pains in my breast. Ive been checked for endometriosis and ive had my thyroid checked, both test were fine. I have not gained weight nor been stressed. I usually have my cycle every 36 days. Ok I started bleeding 2 days ago which is 15 days past my expected period and it has stopped today. It was not a normal period. I only used a total of 4 pads within the two days. Im still having the abdominal pain and sharp breast pain. I also went to ER last night because of the bleeding and pain. They did a hpt and it was negative. The also did a pelvic exam which they say is normal for someone who was bleeding. Gave me some naproxin and sent me home and gave me numbers for gyno doctors. Its sat so unfortunatly there all closed. I guess its so frustrating because I have been regular for the past 2 yrs straight. Usually my bf and I use condoms or the pull out method but the one month we decide to use no form of birth control this happens. After my last period 3/10 we started having sex with him ejaculating inside me sometimes more than twice a week. And now this! Whats happening to my body?
