Aching lower abdomen??

Hi again!

I thought for sure I was pregnant this month, but now i have no idea what's going on! I have been having lower abdominal pain on my left side, like minor cramps...sometimes it's on the right and the middle, but mostly on the left. I have been getting SO nauseous lately, haven't thrown up, but I never do, I kinda hate it so I refuse to let my body do it. Anyway, my lower back started hurting today, and I am so tired...Sorry if TMI, but I have been all over my husband lately...and my last period was strange, lighter than usual, but started at the same time and was the same length. just spotting in the beginning and a lot at the end. It's been a week and a half (two weeks tues) since i had started that period. i have taken hpts but they are all negative, and the aching lower ab doesn't go away. The only thing i can figure is it's connected to the kidney infection i had before my last period when i was on antibiotics. i'm on birth control, so i could've technically gotten pregnant while on antibiotics, but maybe they just wreaked havoc on my system? I guess my question is how many of you have had lower abdominal pain, especially on the left? Did you end up being pregnant? Or was it a cyst or something else? I would really appreciate any responses, I'll be going to the doctor tuesday, so I'll let you all know. Thanks for all your responses!

Sorry to hear that, Jessica. I got really excited for ya when I read a couple of posts ago. However, there could still be hope. I've heard ya should always have hope until the ol' hag shows her face. GL at the doc's office tomorrow. Maybe they can shed some light on what is going on w/your body and set your mind at ease. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Take care...

ugh...i don't even want to go tomorrow...i just have a feeling that they'll find something wrong with me, and that will just add to the depression of not being pregnant. do you guys even think it's still possible? maybe hpts just aren't picking up hormones? it would be a pretty slim chance if that was the case...i'm already starting to get so depressed. is there any hope left?

Chin up, Jessica. I just read a post about someone who just found out she was pg after having like 3 or 4 neg. tests. There is still hope...alteast 'til AF shows up. Just breath and try to relax..no matter how hard that seems to be. Besides if there is something wrong, they can get you all fixed up that way you can go to doing that baby dance again really soon. Best of luck!

Renadil:

Thanks for your reply. I have taken two HPT and both negatives. I have thought I was PG before, but this is the first time I have had the abdominal cramps and lower back pain. I am on progesterone, because my levels are low and I just read the side affects, guess what they were? Cramps, upset stomach....it was a let down. I am due the 11th for AF, so as you said, we will see.

I love this message board! Just being able to talk about it. My husband and I are TTC, so we are both a little excited and scared it might be negative...he is more calm then me. I have NEVER had my body change like this.I am not concerned about a cyst or anything, I just had a normal check up. For me it's either the side effects of the progesterone, or....I hate to even say it. :)

I will let you know when I do. I have been having real irregular periods , but this is later than those, which is why I am on progesterone, but progesterone also helps with conception...we will see.

Hi Riverwoods

Better luck for you both next time. I went for a blood test today and get results tomorrow. I am feeling crampy and lower back pain. Just as they say that once you get a blood test etc you then get your AF!!! Dam it! Still yet NO sign of AF.. so I will wait until tomorrow for the news and let you know. It is weird as today I am on 42nd day and feeling this crampy on and off and have never been this late before. Maybe it is all in my head. My HPT were all NEG which makes me believe that I am not PG but then I read about others who have had NEG and are really POS... mmmm... I am tired of the waiting game. I will let you know what happens tomorrow.. Agghhhhhhhhhh that is if I sleep through the night... lol
