Hello..Carefully going through your narration puts a few differentials in my mind , you should undergo Transabdominal ultrasonography to look for any lower abdominal pathology including pregnancy, you can also do a urine pregnancy test yourself to rule out that. Please get your thyroid hormone level check because your narration is favouring its altered state.
