Hi so I had a baby in august and didnt get my period until october of the same year. I had unprotected sex in october and november, although we changed to a condom a few minutes in, in fear of getting pregnant again and used a condom every time. I missed my period in november, december and january but got it back in feburary and this month about the normal time I would get it for about 3-4 days which is how long my period would last. I was breast feeding for the three months I missed my period. Lately I have been feeling spasms in my lower stomach and groin area and also always feel bloated and my stomache is beginning to get firm. Could I be pregnant? I have taken 6 pregnancy tests and they all came out negative. This is just so weird for me! Missing my period for three months and then getting it back but feeling the spasms and feeling gassy is whats really getting to me! I just want to know whats going on with my body! Could I be pregnant?

Hello Anonymous,

Schedule an appointment for a physical examination with your primary care physician. Abdominal bloating and lower stomach spasms could indicate a problem in your gastrointestinal tract. Blood tests to check hormone levels can help determine the cause of changes in your menstrual cycle.
