Endometriosis can’t kill you, so there’s no reason to be scared. Many women have it and live perfectly normal lives. Common treatments include use of birth control and laparoscopy to remove endometrosis lesions, though they can grow back.

So I normally have a 43-46 day regular cycle, but this month 2 days before AF was due I saw a little bit of light red/pink when I whiped, it was mixed with my urine, so it was more of a yellowish pinkish color lol, anyways, I put a pad on and took some midol. We went out for the day and when I got back I went to change my pad to find there wasn’t amything there. Then me and hubby had some sex, just for fun (hehe) and noticed some brown discharge when we were done. for two days there was some brown when I whiped, but nothing that I’d need a panty liner for. It only showed up the first whipe. Anyways, I just figured it was getting a slow start so I waited a few more days and still no af. I took HPT’s, all neg of course, and when I was 15 days late I went in to the doctors for a blood pregnancy test. They didn’t take the type that says how high or low your hcg is, just positive or negative. It was negative. Sad, but was just excited for af to come and let us start over. Well.. Wednesday will make one week since I got the blood test and AF still hasn’t shown! Shouldn’t she have shown her nasty little head? Everytime in the past I thought I might be pregnant I never was that late, and AF always came soon after a BFN. My symptoms haven’t gone away either. Today I woke up at 3am with the urge like I was going to crap my pants, and a really bad ache right above my pubic line, kinda to the left a little I guess. I went to the bathroom, had a little diarhea and crawled back into bed. I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, so I figured I must have eaten something, but I’m really not sure on what it could have been. I had a terrible time tossing and turning, feeling queasy.. Woke up again at 4:50am, Same feeling, only when I crawled back to bed I layed down and got this overwhelming feeling like I’m going to puke. And wouldn’t ya know it, 2 seconds after I thought that I could run fast enough. I threw up all over my floor in the bathroom. Followed by lots of more throwing up, then finally got to take my anti nausea (safe to take if pregnant) But I feel a little bit better now, no throwing up, still a little queasy but it’s better now that i’ve slept a little. Basically, Why in the world has my period still not shown? If I had gotten my period, my next one would have been due Nov.10th. It’s almost halloween! I don’t know what to think. Help? I think I’m going to take one of my pee sticks tomorrow morning, just incase.. Ive been getting little pains in my sides, but not like sharp or painful. Same Achy cramps I was having 2 days before my period. What’s your thoughts?

Still have white creamy cm, no fever (I don’t have the flu) 98.1, higher then I normally run but definitly not a fever. I’m normally 96.3-96.7

You should check to make sure you don’t have any signs of fever first. Going to the doctor is always a good option, (they diagnose stuff for a living, haha) but you should probably take it easy for a while, lay off exercise and drink plenty of fluids. Also, if you’re allergic to anything, it might be the cause. I recommend going to the doctor, though. If your throat is sore, you probably have strep, which can turn even uglier if left untreated.

I shouldn’t be so worried but I’m scared. I’ve got pain in my lower right abodmen and back (where I normally get my IBS pains….but I’m not constipated right now or anything.)

I’m pretty scared

My symptoms are: Missed period (with light spotting on day of expected period)
Nausea
Slight back pain
Gas

Sadly my blood pressure is a little high right now because I’m so nervous about everything at the moment….anxious (which causes IBS)
I just want to be able to be happy about this, instead of scared

Answer by Arrey
If it isn’t the IBS it could just be round ligament pain. I got it pretty regularly in the first half of my pregnancy, always on the right side, but now it’s much less. It’s pretty painful though. If you’re really scared, go to the hospital. Better safe then sorry. Good luck!!!

I’ve been to my gynecologist, who doesn’t seem to be taking me seriously, and all she did was throw me on birth control around August off last year. Although it seems to be taking the edge off of the pain, it is STILL here. I’ve had ultrasounds, x-rays, CT scans, and blood tests, and nothing has shown up on them. I have also lost a lot of weight since the pain has began, which is unusual, since I am STILL on the birth control. I have yet to get an internal, which I know would at least give me a further idea of what is going on, but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this; What did you do, or how did you deal with it? At this point, any clues or ideas would really take a load off my plate.

It could be intestinal. Try a different doctor

The symptoms I experienced this year (school year) were all GI related in the beggining (September to early December). I had a lot of bad abdominal problems. You name it, I get it. In December i got into the pediactric GI dr because there is not one around where I live so I had to travel.

The things that were already ruled out were celiac diseas, galbladder disease, liver disease, colon cancer, colitis, pancreatitis, ulcers, parasites. I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy in feb and the dr said my insides looked “pink and perfect” and diagnosed me with overproduction of acid and irritable bowel syndrome.

Lately, ever since December or January I would get body aches in my arms and legs and headaches but they’d come and go. Nothing I paid special attention to. At the end of feb I went to the eye dr and was diagnosed with baaaad dry eyes. I use artificial tears and they have helped.

I am also ALWAYS thirsty! I don’t eat fried foods or salty foods and I haven’t eaten much today but tonight i have had the woooorst problem with thirst! I have drinken a bottle of root beer that didn’t help so i drank a bottle of water that didn’t help so I drank a bottle of vitamin water that didn’t help so I drank 2 glasses of juice and ice cubes and NOTHING is quenching my thirst! IT’S TERRIBLE!!

For about a week i’v been getting the body aches more severe and also pains in both my legs under my knees and the same type of pain in my left wrist, and in the fingers on my right hand and a tingling in my tongue and sometimes feel numb in my hands and legs and bones. Could this be MS or lupus? I know with MS sometimes u get abdominal symptoms.

Have you checked out Trichinosis? Another shot in the dark – look into psychosomatic or autoimmune disorders as you say you have IBS…
