Whats wrong with me? Please advise!

As you know, me and hubby are thinking of having a baby inshallah…Also, as some of you know, i came off the pill in March and had experienced spotting etc.

Now, i have a very tender stomach, headaches, feeling sick all the time esp when waking up and after having something to eat, its also a job to walk around as i feel very heavy and just have the need to sit down! To find out whats happening with me, i went to see the doc on fri and she tested me to see if i had urine infection, which i havent got Alhumdullilah. I also have IBS and its not that either - the doc also confirmed that. Doc sent me for an ultrasound which i got done today. They scanned my ovaries, fallopian tubes, kidneys, bladder and again Alhumdullilah, the nurse said its all fine. Now i have an appointment with the nurse at the surgery to have swab tests done!

If the nurse at the hospital said everything is ok, than what is wrong with me? Why do i feel like throwing up and most importantly, why is my stomach (esp above and below my belly button) so so tender?

Please help! It would be very good news inshallah if I am pregnant but i dont know if i am!

Thank You!

Havent they done a blood test yet? Bloodwork can show pregnancy as early as the day that your cycle is due and there are some over-the-counter tests that can show results as soon as 2 or 3 days late?

Otherwise, it may be ovulation pains that you are feeling? When you ovulate, hormones are kicking in, eggs are ripening and swelling. I used to get SO sore, tired and bloated during this time. It lasted 2 or 3 days and was accompanied by egg-white type of discharge. It means nothing more than that you are VERY fertile, the egg-white stuff is what transports the little swimmers to their destination. The reason that I had more pain than a "typical" woman is that I had borderline PCOS (polycystic ovaries). I'd take an advil or 2 and the pain, bloating and discomfort would go away. This would happen around the 11th or 12th day after my cycle started. Is this where you are?

INshallah, may this be the case! Otherwise, I really dont know.

Try the at home pregnancy kits that can tell abt 5 days before your cycle.
Also are u taking prenatal vitamins.The ion in them can make you quite naseous , as it did to me.Ask by calling your Doctor

Re: Whats wrong with me? Please advise!

I think if she were pregnant, wouldnt the ultrasound show it? I would say talk to the nurse to discuss the results further in detail. In the US, ultrasound technicians dont like discussing the results with you and the doctor is more helpful. Good luck, and i hope you figure out whats going on hugs

Re: Whats wrong with me? Please advise!

Ultrasound doesnt show a pregnancy till later on. I mean at 12 weeks gestation, its the size of a grain of rice yeah? They usually dont do ultrasound before that. Its the bloodwork that shows the increase in HCG that detects pregnancy. The over-the-counter pregnancy tests do the same thing but are a bit less sensitive. But there are a couple of them now that can detect as early as the day your cycle is due to start.

get ur HCG levels checked first..u should have done that earlier !

Re: Whats wrong with me? Please advise!

I dont know what it could be..but I hope all is well inshallah!!! Are you late, did you take a pregnancy test? I hope its that inshallah!!!! And if not, then maybe its nothing serious just something in the stomach that will pass

I know for me....as hubby and I are also TTC.....every month I am experiencing phantom signs of pregnancy.....same story every month I am a few days late and feeling positive that I must be pregnant, my body is telling me so....but then I am not! I think I have just read too much on pregnancy signs and then I start imagining I have them all because I want them to be true! Sighs.....khayr inshallah.....whenever Allah decides for us!!

Hope everything turns out ok from your tests inshallah!!

Re: Whats wrong with me? Please advise!

Since you came off the pill recently, your body might be adjusting to the change. Lots of people who start the pill (depending on which pill it is) stop having PMS. Even if you didn't have PMS before starting the pill, you could have it now (or middle of the cycle changes)!I am sure the doctor must have checked your HCG levels to see if you were pregnant. If this was not duscussed, just call up the office and find out. Another visist may not be necessary. Harmonelevels keep changing through your life and you might get different symptoms of PMS. PMS can start as early as 10 days before your period.

Mama, they didnt do a blood test. She questioned if i had done HPT and i told her the night before and it came out negative. She didnt check anything related to pregnancy. I am sure these are not ovulation pains as i was having the same symptoms during my period. Prior to my period starting, i experienced spotting. I feel really really heavy on my stomach, there are certain smells that i am hating. E.g, yesterday afternoon @ work, my colleague was warming up some food, and i hated it and i had a prawn sandwich which made me feel so sick - whereas i normally i lurrvve prawn sadnwiches:D....aaarrgghhh...its so frustrating!

Ask, i took the hpt and it came negative. I am only taking folic acid.

Ira, i dont even know if i am pregnant or not! The nurse who did the scan just said everything is fine. Maybe she thinks i am aware that i know i am pregnant and didnt discuss anything regarding that and just informed me that everything else is fine and the doc will talk to me when the results will be sent back to her.

Wow, size of a grain? I have tried the hpt and it came negative. They didnt do a blood test. However, doc did do urine test to see if i had a urine infection and that came negative.

Midnights, i am not late with my p. Took hpt and blah! AARGGHH!

I know my body is going thru change. I came on my period on time Alhumdullilah.

Guys, the symptoms are headaches, feeling tired, heavy and tender stomach, feeling sick after food, sensitive to some smells, unable to eat anything, spotting. When i am walking, i get out of breath. I dont know, i feel like my stomach is swollen(sp). Normally i sleep on my stomach, and i cant do that because i start feeling sick and it hurts. 3 weeks ago, me and hubby went to Egypt and i started feeling sick there (i may have eaten something dodgy) and that lasted 1 day. When we came home, both of us had dodgy stomachs and kept feeling sick and i took antibiotics twice which helped. I keep thinking maybe this travel bug is still lingering but it should have cleared by now no?

AARRGGHH!

Re: Whats wrong with me? Please advise!

SE, IDK, I'm no doc but you should go back to your doc or to a GI doc. There are parasites that you can easily pick up during travel and they are cured by different meds than antibiotics. My son had one called Giardia and the symptoms were kind of similar to what you have and his docs missed it for quite some time. Its a simple test to take. Good luck, I hope you get better soon.

Re: Whats wrong with me? Please advise!

I dont know Mama, i am gonna talk to my doc tomorrow inshallah and find out!
Also, my stomach just looks so flippin round and bigger than normal and im hiding it from people as they will jump to wrong conclusions...but i wont if all becomes true inshallah....hehe!

Re: Whats wrong with me? Please advise!

^^ Best of luck.Allah Talleh Khairiyat rakein.Keep us Posted:)

So i spoke to my doc today and questioned her regarding the blood test. She said they didnt need to do it as my period had finished couple of days earlier and also if they had picked on something on the scan, they would've done the blood test to confirm.

Still going to get the swab test as they want to determine the cause of spotting and infection which might be causing all these sypmtoms.

Regarding meningitis, they said its better to have it when i am on my period as its not a good idea to have one if you are pregnant so inshallah, next month!

Thanks guys so much for all your advise - i guess when Allah Tallah wants, he gives.
