cysts or other conditions pregnancy-like
| Sun, 11-09-2003 - 8:28am |
Hello everyone,
I have had very irregular periods since losing too much weight from an eating disorder about 9 years ago - for the past 5 years I've been a normal and stable weight. I got off the pill last Jan. (was on it for about year and half) and was hoping that my periods would become regular again (as they were when I was a teenager). I had one in May. In August I had around 12 days of what I thought were (pretty severe) pregnancy symptoms, I took two home tests (both neg.) and went to the hospital because I thought it was possible the symptoms were due to something else, like cysts. Had an ultrasound done and nothing abnormal was found, and literally the next day the symptoms mostly died away for Sept. Symptoms came back with a vengeance at the beginning of Oct. and haven't gone away since. Still no period. Took two home preg. tests this month, both neg. Went to the hospital last week for a battery of tests to check my kidney, thyroid function (I have very slight hypothyroidism - under control), etc. and for pregnancy (get results Tues.) My theory: is it possible that I actually do have cysts or some other condition - that they went away on their own in Aug. but returned? Please look at my list of symptoms and share with me any experiences you have had with other conditions that gave you pregnancy symptoms...
severe bloating (sometimes feels like I have a brick in lower abdomen - ok maybe not a brick but something heavy - and otherwise feels bloated and hard-ish);
nausea - on and off;
sore breasts and darkened area around nipples;
a lot of discharge - clear or milky white (no smell) - had light brown discharge week ago for two days - spotted light pink for day in Aug;
extreme tiredness;
strange sensations in my lower abdomen - pulling, almost pulsating sometimes;
mild period like cramps and extreme discomfort from time to time;
gas;
...I guess that's about it....Please share your experiences with me!
Good luck to everyone!
Sincerely, Trisha
