Hello ladies,

I am going a little bit crazy over here and I need some advice. Ever since I had my two children my cycle has not been the same. Some times I will be on time for months and then a month or two it will be irregular where I start one to two weeks late.

Well this month I have not started. During the week after I should have started me and my husband were intimate. The next day I started feeling really nauseated and tired. I have thrown up a few times too since then. Cooking food makes me really nauseated as well. On top of that I have been cramping up really bad in my lower abdoman and constantly going to the bathroom. I have also been having a clear discharge that I don't remember having with my first two! I took a pregnancy test two days after we were intimate and it came up negative. But I have a feeling I may have taken it too soon! I am now going on 10 days of no cycle with recent major cramping, feeling nauseated and tired.

My question is, should I go into the doctors to get looked at? I have never cramped like this with my other two children. My daughter I did not get morning sickness but had preclampsuea (sp) and hyper tention. With my son I had sever morning sickenss and could not eat the whole nine months. Ended up in the hospital multiple times because of it. But never in the beginning did I ever get cramps like this. I don't know if I am pregnant or not! Is it just me cramping before I start (by the way which I have never done) or am I pregnant? Would it still be to early to take another pregnancy test, or am I safe to get another one? Also, I used one of the dollar store brands, so I don't know if they are any good or not. I need some help here ladies!

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!!

(hopefully going to be having number 3 :))

So What Happened?

Well I went to the hospital over the weekend due to the cramping. I could not take it any more! They did an US and a CT and found NOTHING!! They even did blood work and urine tests and found NOTHING! Went in for a pap yesterday and my doctor told me everything looked healthy and could not feel anything wrong. He told me that as a woman gets older they can start skipping periods. I'm only 27, I shouldn't be skipping them this soon! Don't get me wrong I love not having my period, but the thing that scares me is when am I going to start again. He said if I miss this next period then he might induce my period. This procedure is done with medication. As for the cramping he wants me to see a G.I. doctor. He said that there is so much down there for a woman that it could be anything. And seeing they have ruled out preganancy and other problems in the reproductive area, there could be something going on with my bowels. So he wants me to schedule a appointment with a G.I. and get set up to get scooped. Because I am still in pain, can barely eat and they put me on Vicodin for the pain. I don't like taking this because I am knocked out when I take it. Which leaves me in pain ALL day until my husband comes home. I can't leave my babies unattended! So that is what is going on! Wish me luck with G.I. doctor that they will be able to find out what is going on with me, so I will no longer be hurting!

Also it is not a kidney infection or UTI! The test's ruled those out!

The pregnancy test may not have been good enough to detct the low levels of hormone at that early stage. It sounds like you are pregnant, and cramping can be normal for some people, as you know all pregnancies can be different. Your two choices would be to either get another test (some of them are good five days before your period is due, therefore detect the lower hormone levels) which may now work, or go to your doctor where they'll do a test for you.
Good luck whatever the outcome.

Frequent peeing could be a sign of a urinary tract infection along with the other signs you are stating. It wouldn't hurt to go to the doctor. Good Lick.
