Since friday I have had a dull ache in my lower belly. Just ending my period so it can't be my period. Had the big D on Friday but that stopped but I just feel off. No fever. Just a dull ache. at what point do I call my doc.
NJK,
Fever, Nausea, vomitting????
Sudden sharp pains? Dizziness? Shortness of breath?
Those are usually the signs I wait for to see if there is something serious and worth call my doc over or running to an ER...but what is your output like? Slow transit? No transit? Gassy?
I start with in-put and ask myself if it has changed: what I am eating/have eaten...then my apetite: has it changed? Then my reaction to food...do I have heartburn or nausea (very rare for me) or am I throwing up? Food aversions?
Then I go to out-put: more or less frequent? What kind of changes?
If nothing has significantly changed then I stick to a 'wait and see' kind of situation to see if it evolves or devolves...
If that is the only sign and the rest is 'normal' then I stick to a heating pad for the ache and do a pregnancy test if it is at all in the 'possible' zone.
Let us know if it gets better or not or if there are changes.
