Also I had a pregnancy test negative and vaginal ultrasound negative everything looks good from a ob/gyn standpoint; i also have a mirena in. i also went for a abdominal ultrasound which showed two gallstones. i have been having lower back pain pain in my abdomen midstomach to chest and below my right breast bone also right shoulder pain.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read your history and correlated it to two things.
I have two diagnoses for you
1. Pseudocyesis
2. Gall bladder stone.
1.Pseudocyesis : Means there is no actual pregnancy but the patient gets all the signs and symptoms. This is confirmed by a negative ultrasonography. He patient who has the extreme desire of having Motherhood again develops this sort of a problem. No one really knows the reason and the exact mechanism by which this happens. Consult your Senior Gynecologist who has seen such more cases for counselling and further management.
2. Gall bladder stones may be incidental but you have a right shoulder pain, so a gall bladder infection / obstruction / can also be present.
Plan a Surgery after the pseudocyesis is resolved.
