Why do I have intense cramping at 7 weeks pregnant?

I am 7 weeks pregnant. I woke up due to intense cramping all over my stomach, mainly upper. I could still move and talk normally. Now they have gone down but I still feel it like my stomach is tight and when I press, it hurts more. Could you please give me some insight?

You're experiencing pain around the round ligaments, which is common during pregnancy. This happens as your body adapts to support your growing baby. When the ligaments stretch, they can cause cramping and tightness in your stomach. To relieve the pain, try lying on your side, taking a warm bath, or doing gentle stretches. Make sure to stay hydrated, and if the pain doesn't improve or gets worse, consult a gynecologist.

Hi Doctor , I'm a mother of 2 kids and recently had a miscarriage, now me & my husband want to go for tubal ligation surgery as it says it's not 100% although it's a permanent birth control method of over 99% effective , is it okay after the surgery to start taking Ovral L pill ?

Female | 39

Permanent birth control can be achieved through tubal ligation surgery. The chances of pregnancy are greatly reduced with this method, but it is not 100% guaranteed. You may begin taking Ovral L after undergoing the operation. It is vital that you have an open discussion with your doctor in order to consider all available alternatives and make the most appropriate decision for yourself. Always feel free to share any worries you may have with your physician. I wish you all the best!

Female | 26

These signs could be from a bug in your stomach, changes in your monthly cycle, or even too much stress. Getting sick often makes people feel bad. Missing your period is normal sometimes for women. Stress is hard and can make you feel awful in different ways. To get the right help, you should talk to a gynecologist soon.

महिला | 26

It sounds like you've been through quite a bit lately with the changes in your menstrual cycle and subsequent pain. It’s common to experience some discomfort after a cycle and following medication. The pelvic pain you're noticing could be due to various benign reasons, such as hormonal changes or muscle strain. It's encouraging that your ultrasound and TVS results were normal. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it’s advisable to consult your gynecologist. They can offer personalized guidance and reassurance based on your specific situation.

I have two times of period last march and then for april until now i missed my periods, i also take some pregnancy test and it says negative, what happened why i missed my period?

Female | 19

It’s normal to miss a period even if the pregnancy test says negative. Being nervous or having hormonal issues can make people miss their periods. Have you been under pressure lately or gained or lost some weight? If you have, that might be why you didn’t get your period. I would suggest that you keep an eye on your symptoms and go see a gynecologist if this continues to happen to you.

In some cases, the concern could lead to delays in periods. Another reason for late periods might be pregnancy or hormonal changes. The symptoms of pregnancy include nausea, tiredness, and breast tenderness. On the one hand, you can do a home pregnancy test to confirm the pregnancy.

hello doctor hope you are doing well i need some reassurance i had unprotected sex but no penetration (still a virgin) on dec 15th it was dry humping with no underwear and my boyfriend came close to my vagina but im not sure if i felt his cum and also it was 6 days before i was due to ovulate so the next morning about 13 hours later i took plan b on dec 23rd i started bleeding with light to mild cramping in my cam. was brownish red with small clots it was limited after 5 days my period was due on january 5th but now im 4 days late i had mild cramping bloating and back pain (uncomfortable) my stomach kept making noises i did many pregnancy tests all of them were negative i know you can reschedule your period with plan b but im stressed about this whole situation

Female | 22

Plan B can indeed cause irregularities in your menstrual cycle, such as changes in timing, flow, and discomfort, like bloating and cramps. Negative pregnancy tests are reassuring, as they suggest that conception did not occur. Your period may be delayed due to hormonal shifts from the emergency contraceptive. Stress can also impact your cycle. Continue monitoring your symptoms, and if your period doesn't arrive soon, or if you have further concerns, please consult a gynecologist for personalized advice.

I'm 17 year old girl. I have been diagnosed with hashimoto's disease and take levothyroxine. Recently I got diagnosed with an ovarian cyst and I was told to take drosperinone birth control. However for the past few days I've been having really terrible heartburn and headaches and I can't lay down to sleep. My doctor said to it's a side effect of the birth control. I want to stop taking it because of the heartburn I've been getting. The doctor gave me famotidine 20 mg tablets to lower my stomach acid. From what I know, the acid reflux i have could also be from too little acid production. So will this Famotidine medication hurt me more? Is it safe to stop taking drosperinone and treat the cyst without involving hormones into my body?

Female | 17

Talk to your gynecologist before discontinuing Fluoridine 20 mg tablet. It is a histamine-blocker used to treat stomach acid problems and can be taken as directed on prescription without any harm. But uncontrolled discontinuation of drosperinone birth control medication may result in cyst complications.
