Terrible lower abdomen pains
31
Mon, 10-27-2003 - 5:08pm
I've recently been taking medication for a back injury I've had since Thursday, and on antibiotics for a UTI (which the dr wasn't for sure that was what I had, he just gave them to me just in case, only three day's worth instead of a weeks) and the antibiotics didn't help at all like the first time (for the UTI) so I thought maybe I was having the side effects to the medians for the back injury, the last pills I've taken were last night around 9, it started around that time also...I've been having terrible lower abdomen pains....not like cramps, but a few day's ago it felt like I was having cramps but period isn't due until Friday...and nothing...I can't sit down for too long with out the pain from my abdomen shooting up into my chest, right in-between my bb's....could anyone help me? I‘ve been dizzy all day, and not really up for any eating, but I have and I‘ve been drinking cranberry juice, and that hasn‘t helped either.. also, does everyone have sore bb's as a symptom of being pregnant?

Clear white mucas can be caused by a number of different things...It can be seminal residue...clear white and stretchy mucas is a sign of high fertility but since you said AF is due today that obviously isn't the case.

Guess what! I went to the bathroom, and when I whipped there was a lite pink color on the toilet paper...so I took a fresh piece of paper and kinda pushed it up there and when I looked at it again it was a littler darker pink, with some muccus on it also. I put a liner on and there is a small, about the size of a dime brown spot on it, that was about 10 this morning, I thought AF was happening cause I had cramps, now they are gone and nothing else is showing up on the liner. I went to the bathroom again and when I whipped, nothing but pee, along with some muccus again...so I pushed another piece of toilet paper up there and got a very faint brownish pink spot with muccus...I'm having some more cramps, but you know how you can feel your AF coming out, I can't feel anything...when I found the brown spot I was like, oh when did that happen....I'll check again in a while..this is not how my regular periods are, there never is apause inbetween bleeding or anything, and when it usually starts, it starts out heavy, this is light and pinkish....anyone??

I just checked agian, well a couple times in 10 minutes:) and it's darker pinkish brown now, still muccus, but I only see it when I push toilet paper up there, it's not dripping or runnying out, sorry if too much info...is my period just delayed and I'm really not PG?

Well...when I was pregnant before, (had a m/c) all those things happened to me. The feeling like your going to start but just having the discharge. Mild cramps that are similar to menstrual but not as strong, and either no AF or just spotting. And man did my stomach make some noises!! I would be laying on the couch and you could hear it growling across the room. I would alternate between sluggish B/M's that were and soft (TMI). As for the discharge, it really could be ectopic, normal PG implantation bleeding, could be your having a messed up cycle this month...any number of things! I've forgotten, have you taken an HPT yet??

I'm sorry about your m/c!:( Yes there could be a number of things going on, my cycle could be messed up I don't know what from, probably antibiotics, I don't know.....my hubby is still at work, and getting out at around 4:30, well he should be home by than hopefully we have a lot of things to go do it being Halloween and all, and one of those things includes getting a HPT, that is I emailed me telling him what is going on right now, if by the time he gets home and nothings happened (more so) than we'll be testing, but I heard it's best to test the morning urine cause that's when you'll get the best results, i don't know, if I do test and it's negative and things still aren't normal, we'll be going to the DR. I hope and I'm wishing it's positve:)

YES!! Pleeeeeease test. :) I'd would love to see how it comes out. When were you supposed to start AF? I was also swollen down there, reason is when you're pregnant, all of the blood rushes down to that area because of everything that's going on down there. ~Not saying you're pregnant, obviously~ Of course, the longer you wait to test, the more accurate the results will be, but I definately think you should wait and use FMU.

I think that was my husband that just walked in the door, we're going to go get a test now:) I don't know if I want to test right away, maybe wait a day just to see, but things are still the same, this is NOT my regular period, it's still brownish pink and I only see that color when I stick the paper up there, it's not on the liner any more. I've been haing cramps like my period is supposed to start, and nothing is there:) hoping for the best!! To you and to me!

Oh, Yay! All good signs. I will hope for the best for you!

If you do test tonight, wait like 3 or 4 hours from your last potty break before you take the test. It will help the urine be more concentrated. And don't drink too many fluids as that will dilute things. GOOD LUCK!
