What could be causing this?

[Pressuretoohigh]

On Tuesday evening I started having the most excruciating cramps in my pelvic region and there was a bit of spotting so I assumed it was ovulation. By 3am I was writhing in agony, shivering with teeth chattering, horrifically thirsty but also felt really nauseous.

I was sick which made me feel better but the cramping pain was still awful and I was still shivering with a temperature, headache etc.

It's been 48 hours now and I have managed to eat something and keep it down but still feel uncomfortable in pelvic area with spotting but not proper bleeding. I've still got headache and weirdly also am experiencing withdrawal symptoms from my antidepressants even though I've taken them (and kept them down).

Any thoughts on what might cause this?

Could you be having a miscarriage? Or an ectopic pregnancy?

How old are you? Could it be peri-meno?

Covid ? If you take away the pelvic symptoms it could be.

See a Dr/call 111. Torsion of the ovary is another high risk condition to consider.

Is there a chance you could be pregnant?

Yes, torsion was my first thought. Acute pelvic infection, ectopic pregnancy, ruptured ovarian cyst, volume be anything really so definitely get it checked out especially if you have a temperature, headache and shivering. Stuff like sepsis needs to be ruled out. Don’t let them fob you off with “glands” or “perimenopause”

99% sure not pregnant as my period was a few weeks and not had sex since.

I'm 42 and my periods have definitely been much, much heavier over the last year - assuming peri-menopause

Call 111 and follow their advice. You have high risk symptoms for a few serious conditions so please stop posting and seek medical attention.

Could it be a ruptured cyst ?

Seriously Covid?

I've had a ruptured ectopic and had carried on having periods whilst pregnant with it. Do a test and rule it out, if you're able to do so (not in debilitating pain etc)

I had an ovarian cyst burst and threw up and blacked out from the pain. For the following week my lower abdomen was really tender and I felt rubbish. It's definitely worth getting it checked. I hope you're feeling better soon

Ovarian torsion? Ruptured cyst? You need to see a doctor.

Something to do with waterworks? Bladder / kidney stones or infection?

Fibroids? Pain from these was worse than childbirth. Get checked out asap. I'd go to A and E
