Thread: Cramps but no period, swelling, uncomfortable pressure.....

Im sure that someone in the past has probably posted on this already, but in all of the posts Ive searched through I did not see what I was looking for, so please input even if you have already.

Im 39 and in good health from what I know. Without having insurance for the last 5 years, however, I try to avoid the doctor at any cost. Ive not taken birth control in probably 10 years. Although my husband and I would love to become prego it has not happened even after all that time trying naturally. Now Im having more and more issues. Over the last year or two the symptoms seem to be growing. Pain during sex if too deep, very large clots during period and now Im having cramps but my pd never started at all. a couple months ago I seemed to have a pd that ended quicker than normal. but then a week later i was still having some pains and then what seemed like another pd. Then I had no clue when my next would start but it did in a bout another week. The following month seemed to be late. Now this month I had the normal feelings of my pd starting, but it never did. My abdomen is swollen or bloated and Im getting up 3 and 4 times a night to go to the restroom as though there is pressure being put on my bladder. If Im lying flat on my back it feels almost like im pulling on something inside my abdomen, too. This isnt right or normal. I dont think its simply a missed pd which i know can happen because of the swelling and etc.

Also, I would like to note that over the last couple years of really hoping to get prego, Ive had months where I could of swore I was....I had the headaches and my breasts were extremely sore, etc. but then my pd would come...heavy and clotted like always.

any input? suggestions? possibly youve had these symptoms and have been to a dr?

Well I dont think Im prego as I still have no other signs at all and again a neg HPT. The pressure has gone away as has the need to use the restroom 3-4 times a night. So I was bloated and swollen as though I was going to have my pd but never did, and the swelling still went down? I dont understand.
