What Causes Constant Hunger, Soreness In Lower Back And Nausea?
My last normal period was 6/19-6/21. We had unprotected sex (we re TTC) on 7/3, 7/5, 7/6, and 7/9. I got my period 3 days early (very abnormal for me, usually it s on time or late by a few days). It was darker than usual, not as heavy but still heavier than spotting. 2 days after my period ended, I had brown/dark red discharge, which I ve never gotten before. I had weird muscle spasms in my uterus for 5 days, on and off throughout the day. I m always extremely hungry, my lower back is sore/achy (like when you overwork a muscle), and I ll randomly get nauseous throughout the day. And yet I ve taken 2 HPTs and they ve been negative. Any ideas??

Hi,
First of all, it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.
Based on the history you have shared, if HPT were negative, it's less likely to be a recent pregnancy. However, the possibility of other local inflammation like pelvic inflammatory disease or any other infection needs to be ruled out.
Ultrasound pelvis, as well as gynecologist review and if needed vaginal swab cultures and examination may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
