I am a 23 y/o & Ive been experiencing many pregnancy symptoms but ive taken an at home,doc urine test w/ neg results.My period is usually regular, starting on the 26th +/ – 2 days.I began bleeding 12 days after the end of my last period. My breast were so sore that even when I walked it hurt,& its not normally a symptom that I have during pms,or my period. Ive been constipated & I thought that was the reason for my nausea. I recently have been having loose bowels.I do find myself having to urinate more than often,but I also feel like I am always thirsty. Sometimes I feel little pains in the abdominal area,& less intense period cramps. Since my last period came 2 weeks early, I am unsure if my next period will be on the 12 (when i started the last time) or the 26th which is my normal start date.A family friend said endometriosis has similar symptoms. If anyone has any idea what could be wrong please help. I work part time & go to school full time so my health insurance isnt the best.
I had the same thing recently. Lasted for six months. Anyway, for whatever hormonal reason, the hormones were not holding my lining in place so I had to start a birth control. All is well now and I have short normal birth control periods. Simple as that. There are so many symptoms for endometriosis, your problem could be that or as simple as changing your birth control pills. My periods sounded exactly like you are describing.
Most of your symptoms, especially going to the bathroom, nausea, sounds like IC. and maybe IBS because of the bowels, and a hormonal imbalance that can be helped with B.C. pills.
I did have endometriosis for 15 years and now have IC. All of the symptoms blend together and sound identical. It’s best to get knowledge and understand for yourself ilke you are doing and definately tell you doc.
Constipation oddly comes in two forms – loose stools or not at all.
Constipation is a symptome of endo, if the endo is near your bowels.
Mainly for endo symptoms are painful periods, don’t usually last a long time, but are nasty. Tender abdomen (both endo and IC), painful intercourse, very hormonal.
I hope this helped you out a little. I was going by all that i have learned from going through it all. I am not a pro at all, def check with your doctor and ask about IBS and IC You will be so much happier if you can get those diagnosed. Since your insurance is poor, you can try to self treat as much as possible by yourself, as none of this is cureable, but it is treatable. Try changing your diet. that may make a difference with going to the bathroom all the time. Also you may qualify for a different state insurance since you are in school if that is possible. Mabybe that would be better for you, worth looking into. goodluck with school.. Let me know if you would like to talk more. I’ve been there and know it is frustrating.
