Strange Pressure In Uterus and 3 weeks Late...
Okay so I have some strange things going on here. I have PCOS. My
ob/gyn put me on Metformin last summer. I have had absolutely flawless
cycles since being on it, until now. I am about 3 weeks late. A million
negative pregnancy tests later, for the past week I've had this really
strange pressure in my uterus. It almost feels fatigued. I mostly have
it when I'm sitting or laying down. It is constant. So much so that it
keeps me up at night. It does not hurt. It is just uncomfortable. I've
been getting mild menstrual cramps since my period was due. It feels
like I'll be getting my period so much that I'll run to the bathroom
with tampon in hand, and nothing. It almost feels like a clear period if
that makes any sense. What makes me the most angry is that I made an
appt with my ob/gyn Thursday. She had me take a urine test (which I knew
would be negative) told me it was neg, lectured me for about 20 minutes
on eating right to conceive, and tried to force a fasting glucose
tolerance test on me, (which I cannot tolerate since I had gastric
bypass back in 2005) So I know I'm throwing a lot of info at you guys,
but what could be going on with me? Frequent urination and negative for
UTI. Shooting pains in my nipples and sensitivity, come and go mild
cramping, no spotting, off and on nausea mostly when I'm hungry, 3 weeks
late, lower back pain, strange uterine pressure that almost feels like
muscle fatigue, blue veins on my breasts, indigestion, and not much
interest in food, when I usually love to eat.
I was super angry when I left my appointment enough to make an appointment with a new doctor, cause I am so done with my current doctor. I'm worried it could be fibroids (though I have no history of that) or a cyst. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to listen to my body and its telling me you are pregnant, but the tests won't confirm. LOL. Mostly what is making me the most nervous is this uterine pressure. Has anyone ever had this??

Re: Strange Pressure In Uterus and 3 weeks Late...
Seeing how we're not doctors, all I can recommend is making an appointment with a Reproductive Endocrinologist. They know much more about PCOS than a regular ob/gyn.
Hope it all works out for you.
Me: PCOS/Amenorrhea DH: Azoospermia due to Y Chromosome Micro Deletion IVF w/ ICSI on hold until further notice
Hope
This exactly! Doing a pregnancy test isn't enough. You may need an ultrasound or additional diagnostic testing. Find an RE in your area. Good luck.
I am not a doctor so I am just telling you my experience. IF you are not PG (I hope you are!! Ask for a blood test- POAS might not be catching it)
I have been dx with PCOS for more than 10 years. I was never regular, but about 6 months ago I started having similar symptoms. It felt like I was about to start constantly- cramps in front and in back. A constant pressure in my uterus. Had a pap that came up negative. I went to a RE and he decided to do a biopsy and found that I had polyps. So I went through a D&C and hysteroscopy and they found that I had something called Atypical Endometrial Hyperplasia and abnormal polyps.
The thing that got me with this situation is that I have an annual pap, am always getting checked to figure out my TTTC issues- and finally after 4 doctors this one found an answer. The uterine pressure still is occurring after my D&C and I haven't yet had AF after taking meds, so I have to contact my RE- but I would definitely suggest contacting an RE about your issues. It probably isn't hyperplasia- but from my experience trust your instinct and get it checked out- the pressure bothered me but I figured my regular MD knew best and I let it go too long instead of insisting additional testing.
