Movement in stomach negative pregnancy test. Just had period a week ago (on the pill)

Hi I've got my self in to a right state.

I had my period (on pill) on 5th feb. So because I'm on pill not a heavy period.

About 3 days ago I started feeling pulses kicks in my tummy lower and upper. I've got my self that stresses out I've took pregnancy tests. All negative.

Googled so I'm panicking like I do no what.

My stomach is so tight with the movement feelings. I'm so scared I'm pregnant.

I keep getting on off period pains ache and then little movements.

I'm slight constipated. And I'm unsure if this is why my guts are going mad. Every thing is much worse I'm having heart palpitations and I'm so anxious. I suffer really bad with anxiety.

Please could I be pregnant 🙁

I have found constipation to mimic pregnancy at times or maybe I was so constipated when pregnant that it thought I was feeling the baby and it was my bowels!

Gjven you are on the pill and have a negative test, I’d say pregnancy is unlikely. Can you have some laxatives and see if that helps?

AntiHop · 17/02/2024 17:39

Have you had a previous pregnancy? Phantom kicks are very common. I actually paid for a private scan as it was driving me crazy!

2024postivevibes · 17/02/2024 17:42

Yeah I have took some laxatives.

I've had two pregnancies I knew I was pregnant with first two weeks with 2 nd with month with first was sick straight away.

I'm panicking because I ended it with I guy in November he turned out after 5 months to be awful.

I'm scared I've missed pregnancy and I'm too far gone. Feeling kicks.

I had period 5th feb Jan, December nov been regular in the pill. Then come on 2 days after I start my break.

Oh ladies I'm in a right state.

Oh my god, I could have written this myself 2 weeks ago!!!!! Also on the pill, and felt like what I could only describe as little kicks (totally felt the same as when I was pregnant). Got myself in a right panic, also took a pregnancy test which was negative. Even booked myself into the doctors, but then it just stopped. So random!!

Justkeepswimmingswimming · 17/02/2024 17:46

It will be wind as a result of your constipation.

WhamBamThankU · 17/02/2024 18:52

I get this due to IBS. Scary when it happens!

Ready4ActionRyderSir · 17/02/2024 18:54

I have had this before too, convinced myself I must have been about 5 months gone.

nothing! It was nothing! Probably just wind! Proper felt like baby kicks at the time though, I was convinced!

noodlesfortea · 17/02/2024 19:01

Almost certainly just gas. I found gas and early pregnancy kicks to be very similar.

You wouldn't feel kicks until at least 16 weeks if you were pregnant.

2024postivevibes · 17/02/2024 19:37

I know I'm panicking I'm really further on but I've had periods every month. I have obsessed over it for two days. Constant little kicks or tightening all over

You’ve took pregnancy tests… all negative, you’ve had periods each month and you’re on the pill so sounds like a very slim chance of pregnancy. Sounds more like constipation is the cause. I’ve had it before due to IBS where it feels like a baby kicking. I’ve actually got it right now the pressure feeling

xyz111 · 17/02/2024 20:52

Mine lasted about a week, that's why I was convinced I was pregnant 🤣

MyLadyTheKingsMother · 17/02/2024 21:07

It's just farts op. I get it all the time.

Soubriquet · 17/02/2024 21:13

I get phantom kicks and movement all the time during certain times of the month. If I didn’t know I definitely wasn’t pregnant, I would have thought I was.

2024postivevibes · 17/02/2024 21:21

Without going in to mass detail I've just been to the toilet and tightening has subsided just keep getting these little kicks and pressure either low down or under ribs it's hard to explain. I had my kids 9 and 6 years ago haven't really had this much. I'm still worrying.

I'm worrying I'm further pregnant and test isn't picking it up. I hate being in my head

It’s extremely unlikely OP but if you’re concerned, you could also ask the doctor if they would do a blood test. It would pick up the HCG

Somerandomgirl · 17/02/2024 22:08

Sounds a bit like spasms and from the constipation too. Have you got any buscopan? Its for spasms. The baby kicks happen way later in pregnancy and they wont be under your ribs until even later, on other hand gas can be all around in abdomen
I know i know ive been in such anxieties. Just think about it rationally.

I know I'm trying. I've been to loo and still got weird feelings pulses in my dips hip and lower abdomen. I'm trying to calm down. I'm on the pill and my last period was 5th February and one before 15th Jan consistent but it's because I've googled I've got my self in a right panic.

Thanks for all your replies xxx

Nothing to panic about. And i get these things too that feel like kicks sometimes, it does feel similar doesnt it but its just body stuff. If u never had children you wouldnt even think about it this way. Hope its better today

If you were pregnant and went to the toilet the movements of baby wouldn’t really subside. The fact you’ve been toilet and it’s subsided is a big indicator it’s due to constipation

bottomsup12 · 18/02/2024 11:01

Has from the laxatives I've had the same

YesSmithers · 18/02/2024 11:04

Do not worry!! I had this a couple of years ago, my husband actually had his hand on my tummy and felt it too. I was in such a state I went to put of hours, turns out I had a bowel infection.
It lasted a few weeks but I was just delighted not be carrying an unplanned baby.

GinForBreakfast · 18/02/2024 11:08

I've had the same sensations and I was definitely not pregnant. I was growing a giant fibroid though.

2024postivevibes · 18/02/2024 12:55

I've been to the toilet yesterday and hardly eating with worrying. I've just took the kids to cinema and can just feel movement constantly.

I've even got stabbing pains and needing a wee.

Apparently a pregnancy test doesn't work after 5 weeks or so. I'm just in a state.

I think I'm that anxious I can't tell what's wrong now
