Hello all! Long time no see. <3 :3
Long story short; I am with a wonderful new man and we've been dating for a long while. Really love that boy. <3 About a month ago; I missed my period. We went in for testing and it was negative for pregnancy; and two weeks after that when it was still nothing we went for STD testing and both he and I are clean. Another month passed, and I still lacked any period or bleeding whatsoever. So after another negative home test and a doctors test; that was that. We didn't know what was wrong since I haven't been on BC for a while now; we were using Spermacide and the appropriate condoms.
Two days ago I started to get pains in my abdomen; thinking it was just upset from a meal I brushed it off; but then it decided to worsen and continue. Tonight we went to the walk in and I told the doctor everything; including how I was nauseaous/feverish (no tossing up anything though) and he tested one last time for pregnancy...and i'm positive.
It was a bit of a shock none the less; but My boyo and I have been talking about the possibility of kids and we're both on board for whatever life throws at us; we're going to keep it reguardless. My doctor called in for an Emergency ultrasound but since the pain hasn't gotten any worse today it will definately be before Friday; hopefully tomorrow or the next day.
A miscarriage crossed my mind; but to my knowledge there would be a lot more sharp pains and bleeding rather than the bloated/crampy feelings I have now. He did a physical exam on my pelvis/abdomen and didn't find swelling or lumps.
I know there isn't much I can do; yet I was curious if anyone here has been or heard of a similar situation to give me some heads up on what could be wrong? Since I would be the first of nearly everyone I know to be in a pregnant situation I don't have a lot of support to go to and can only pray someone here might have an answer before I lose my mind in worry. <333
Thanks in advanced for anyone who can give some advice or wishes. <3

I had something similar happen to me with my first son. I missed my period but I had yet to take a test. I started having horrible pains mainly in my right side. I got worried and went to the er. They asked me if I could be pregnant, told then yes, they tested and it was positive. One of the things they thought it could be was an etopic (sp?) pregnancy. They did an ultrasound and the only thing they found was a cyst on one of my overies. They gave me some pain meds and said to follow up with my regular doctor. A couple days later the pain went away, my doctor could not find anything, and my son is a happy healthy 19 month old!
I never had that pain again so in my case I never found out what it was. One of the other things that was suggested though was a problem with my gall bladder. I really hope they figure out what it is for you and hope it turns out to be nothing serious!!! Congrats on the pregnancy!

The first thing I thought about was a cyst or etopic. Unfortunately, I've known a few women who have dealt with that. Still, take it easy until the u/s. And please, keep us updated!

The pains were specifically in my abdomen; it actually felt like I could feel every inch of my uterus.
UPDATE.
Well, yesterday we went to the ER; after I woke up and was in double the pain and I was bleeding. I was brought in right away and they said it was one of three things. Ectopic pregnancy, Miscarriage depending on how far along I was or that the egg was fertalized and it sent messages to my brain to tell me I was pregnant but it didn't end up sticking.
After my ultrasound today it was confirmed to be the last, that the egg just couldn't attach to my lining.
It was a sad loss for both my boyfriend and I; as he was very excited about the prospect of having a child.
we came home and talked about it seriously though; and with news of his new job we got this morning we decided to start taking the proper steps to becoming parents instead of leaving it as a suprise.
I thank everyone for sharing their thoughts and wishes; it took a great deal of stess off knowing a few things that it could have been before heading in. <3 Here's hoping that someday we'll have some good news to share here!
