What Causes Upper Abdominal Cramps,ribs Pain And Frequent Urination?
For the past few months I have had a feeling that I am pregnant. For the past couple of months I have been told I think your pregnant!? - You have a pregnant woman s glow! Ect. So I took a at home pregnancy test and it came back negative but I still have this feeling that I am. I also urinate more often then normal, I have food cravings - my stomach has been cramping on and off for the past couple of weeks and today my ribs were hurting. It felt like something was kicking me in my ribs because they would hurt for a second then stop, hurt for a second then stop and it kept going. I got home and was holding my stomach and it felt like something kicked me, I watched my stomach and it has little movements like a baby is kicking. A couple people listened to my stomach and they both said they can hear a faint heartbeat and I thought they were crazy so I made them hold their hand on my heartbeat while they listened and it beated a little later after mine. This might sound stupid but I wonder if its my heartbeat echoing ? But what about the movements? I took another pregnancy test but it came back negative..I don t know. I think of all the people that have taken tons of pregnancy test that all come back negative but popped out a baby and it makes me wonder if I could possibly be one of those people.. Help!
Hello It can be many things that is happening to you . Don't panic yourself. You didn't mention about the periods whether you get them regularly or not secondly ultrasound is a safe and non expensive investigation of choice for pregnancy. You are right strip tests can be negative if you do it too late more than 12 weeks after fertilization. Other symptoms also mimic high blood sugar so you have to check your blood sugar levels. Also pain pattern is more of colicky pain mostly gall stone. Ultrasound will also get a look for gall stones. You shouldn't be worried but at east do these investigations. Hope that answer the question. Thanks
