Stomach Pain, Hurts To Walk, Negative Home Pregnancy Test, Delayed Period. Help

Hey I am 18 years old and a female, for 3 weeks now I have had pains all over my stomach , it gradually seems to be getting worse. Hurts to walk and move, can t even sit down or lay doe without it hurting. I m starting to get worried. I last had a period 2 months ago, last sexual partner a month ago, I was supposed to come on period on the 18th, 3 weeks late and I m starting to get worried, I have taken a home pregnancy test and came through negative. Anyone out there who can help?! This pain is unbearable!

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi ! I think the home pregnancy test is not a confirmatory test to exclude a pregnancy, specially if it is somewhere else than its normal position in the uterus. From the history of your symptoms two possibilities are coming to the mind :
1) A neglected Urinary tract infection or pelvic infection, which has spread and causing the symptoms of a peritonism.
2) A chronic ectopic pregnancy, which might have partially ruptured and causing such pain leading to a diagnosis of peritonitis.
I would suggest you to visit your gynaecologist at the earliest, who may advise you for a serum HCG test, and an ultrasound of the abdomen to arrive at a diagnosis to decide on further course of action.
Take care.
