How To Treat A Belly Lump After Delivery?

Hi, I have a daughter who is almost two. Right now I m Inbetween insurance and so I cant see a doctor for a couple of weeks. I haven t had my period in about four months. I was on the shot of birth control which the doctor said can make it where I don t get a period. Anyways it s been a little bit longer. I have gained about 10 pounds the past two months. Most of it is in my belly. If I wear any tight fitting shirt I look like I m pregnant. That s not normal for me. I feel strong movements and a budge in my stomach(like a baby). I also started making a little bit of breast milk which I haven t been able to in over a year. I ve been very hormonal. I also am going pee a lot more than normal. I feel pregnant but ALL 10 of my tests were negative. My Obgyn says to come in for an ultrasound. What do you think it could be? A lump? Or a baby? Is there anything else it could be? My stomach is getting bigger every week. But these negative pregnancy tests make me believe it s just bloating or something. Please tell me what you think it could be.

OBGYN,  's  Response
thank you so much for asking your question on healthcare magic. I will do my best to help you.

Obviously, many of the symptoms you describe could be due to pregnancy, so I certainly understand why you are concerned that you may be pregnant. however, with all the negative tests you have done at home, I can still understand why your obgyn suggested that you get an ultrasound to make sure. an ultrasound may also reveal ovarian cysts which could explain the bloating even if o uh are not pregnant. a blood test may also be a good idea to make sure the tests you are doing at home are correct.

however, assuming that all the tests for pregnancy are negative, I would consider the possibility that much of what you are experiencing could be a side effect of the shots you are getting for birth control. you might want to discuss with your doctor switching north control methods to see if that helps.

also, testing for hormonal disorders such as thyroid and prolactin hormone are probably a good idea as well. many of your symptoms can be related to disorders of these hormones.

I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any more questions.
