Ok I want to start this with this: I know I'm not pregnant. I have taken several tests in the past few months and all are clearly negative.
But I have all these weird things going on that make me look and feel pregnant!
It's awful. So late last October my nipples started being so painful I could hardly breastfeed my baby. The docs treated for mastitis and thrush but nothing worked. It eventually improved around Christmas but feeling is still not totally comfortable. This coincided with a bout of period cramps which then went away. I was exhausted and miserable and over the next two months seemed to get one thing after another, colds dizziness, UTI, conjunctivitis etc. You name it I had it. Christmas nearly finished me off! I spent a couple of days just in bed. Then in early January I suddenly felt better.
Throughout this I took various pregnancy tests and PCR covid tests and all negative. I wonder/ed if it might be to do with periods returning as I have not got them back get since my baby was born a year ago. But nothing has materialised. I had a bout of bloody discharge a 3/4 weeks ago which j was sure was the start of something but again nothing since.
Now the weirdest thing is my stomach. Over the last two weeks it has got bigger and is rounded and often really hard - especially under the belly button. I have lost 2 stone recently so it seems weird! It is also rounded and hard at the top alongside my ribs just like it would be in pregnancy. But I am not pregnant. We have literally only had sex a handful of times, the last one being mid- September and I even took a final test yesterday just to out my mind at rest! I was honestly starting to imagine I could feel something moving I was so stressed about it! I feel better now I'm sure I'm not knocked up but what could this be? Are these all just symptoms of a period returning? I don't remember this after my first ...
Could it be my fibroids?? I also have PCOS? Could that be linked?
I have requested a doctor's appointment but I'm pretty sure he is just going to say I am going mad and imagining things!
Thought I'd see if anyone has any ideas?! 😩
