Increasing pelvic pressure

[Ace1102]

I've been dealing with a pelvic pressure for about a month and a half now. I initially thought it was possibly caused by an upcoming period it my period came and went and the pressure remained. My period was a little odd though. It started out with a bunch of brown blood then turned red but the texture of it seemed kind of pasty. The rest of my period was normal. The pelvic pressure started out feeling like a band just above my hairline and over a couple weeks it seemed to condense and feel like an orange in my uterus. It has continued to slowly move upwards with pressure increasing. I honestly FEEL pregnant. I had my son 19 months ago so I am familiar with these symptoms...nauseated off and on, turned off by food at times, heartburn, lower back and hip pain, clear odorless discharge...but four different negative pregnancy tests. I went to my Gyno and she was at a loss but scheduled me for an ultrasound. I went into my US swearing they were going to tell me I was pregnant and the tests just weren't reading my hcg levels. She told me nothing but that my dr will go over it with me at the end of next week. In the meantime I'm going nuts not knowing. I watched the US and saw no baby. Plus I figured she would've told me if I was. Help please!!

Thank you for your response. I had ovarian cysts when I was younger but I always remembered them being painful which is why I had never considered that the reason for the pressure but I suppose it could be.

Ovarian cysts may produce pregnancy-like symptoms.
Usually an ultrasound can pick it up, and if not, a CT scan should.
Most cysts are benign, so not to be too worried about it.

Best wishes.
