Fao Sqad - Update

[NoMercy]

Attended A&E. Hospital pregnancy negative. Visual examination using medium size speculum - cot around cervix obstructing view. Cervix tilting backwards. All bloods normal including Hb.

My doc spoke to on call Gynaecologist who asserts that it is "impossible" that I am pregnant with a normal, ectopic or molar pregnancy with two negative tests, given that I've had 3 positives with OTC pregnancy tests. Interestingly the Gynaecologist has seen 4 cases identical to mine in the last month or so. No obvious reason has been identified in any case.

Well I walked out of there very reassured indeed...

Now home and my left abdomen pain is intensifying. I've taken 1g of Paracetamol and 800mg Ibuprofen. I understand ectopic pain is impervious to normal analgesia?

Thanks for the feedback NoM........ a happy result from, in many ways, a confusing case.

[Smowball]

You poor thing. All sounds very frustrating. Hope you feel better soon xx

Could one of my known fibroids be causing the tugging and pain? I've not had it this bad before.

I have had groin pain with my fibroid. Not agony but I could feel it pressing on something and giving me a sensation at the top of my leg. Also caused very heavy periods. I used to get a pain like someone sticking a knife up the back passage (as you have mentioned) a few days before a period. I have a backwards tilting womb so I presumed that the fibroid was closer to the bowel although I have never looked into that.

[Sqad]

It could well cause heavy bleeding, pain and backache.........

[NoMercy]

I know there's a 4cm *** in the fundus but she never said where the 3cm culprit was.

[237SJ]

It can cause bleeding but I'm not sure a 4cm and 3cm fibroid would cause pain. My fibroid got to 13cm before it caused pain and even then, it was a very vague pain

A 'cot' around your cervix!
No wonder you have problems , you're supposed to keep it in the bedroom ready for when baby arrives, not get them in it before birth ;-)

[ummmm]

Eddie - that's in bad taste.

Hope you're well, NoM :-) xx
