Period symptoms but no bleeding. Endometriosis?

LifeIsBetterBrunette · 01-03-2009, 02:32 AM

Hi Everyone!

I wanted to see if any of you have had a similar experience. I'm 24 years old and I hadn't had sex for nine months and then did three weeks ago (we used protection). My periods have always been irregular and my last three pap's have come back abnormal. My gyno didn't seem too concerned, he just told me that we'd keep an eye on it. I've noticed that over time my PMS symptoms have gotten more severe and lasted longer.

My period should have come this week and I've had literally all of my normal symptoms but have yet to bleed. Over a week ago I put on several pounds of water weight. My breasts, abdomen and feet got really really swollen. I've had really severe cramping for over a week, I could feel the side that I am ovulating from (Ieft) and it was painful to the touch, I've had an abnormal amount of discharge and have been having to go to the bathroom more often. I also have felt hormonal, feeling the urge to cry for no reason. I took a pregnancy test on Monday and it came back negative instantly. Over the last few days I've lost the water weight, but I'm still extremely sore, including pain under both of my rib cages.

I have two friends that are pregnant and neither of them have experienced any of these symptoms, in fact, they just missed their periods altogether.

I made an appointment with my gyno for Wednesday and I plan on discussing all of these symptoms with him. I also plan on taking another pregnancy test tomorrow just to verify.

Has anyone had this happen? I suppose this could just be the stress of missing my period, but I also worry that I could have endometriosis. Several of the women in my family have it and I've heard that it starts to get worse around age 25.

Any feedback would be helpful.

That's a lot how I felt last week, actually for almost two weeks. Scared the crap out of me. I ended up starting late and even worse cramps than what I was feeling.

Maybe that's what will happen to you.
But I would see a doctor.

I've had similar symptoms and alot of pain and it ended up being an ovarian cyst as well as a kidney stone. I've figured that pain in that area can mean alot of things. Only your doctor can really investigate the problem.

Well, I just took my second pregnancy test (5 days apart) and it also came up negative. That, at least, is a huge relief.
