Contractions while not pregnant
Does anyone know anything about this? This is so strange! Last night when I was laying down before I fell asleep, I started having contractions. I am NOT pregnant. I had contractions for about a hour, and they were almost exactly 10 minutes apart each time, but the last 2 were 9 minutes apart. After that I decided to just go to sleep. Note: I do intend to call my doctor, but they don't take phone calls (they take a message and call you back in about 2 days... it *****)
I was told I have PCOS recently, but I don't believe this is pain caused by the rupturing of cysts. I have had a child before, and it felt just like that... I swear I could even feel my cervix dialating (not alot, just a little). I am no longer having contractions this morning.
I'm REALLY REALLY hoping this is a period because I haven't had one in 7 months, and I started taking birth control pills about 2 weeks ago. Do period cramps hurt like this?! I was always regular before these past 7 months, and I have never had period cramps! Do they feel like labor contractions?
If anyone has any advice for me, I would really appreciate it! The only thing I can compare my experience to is labor pains and I'm worried my doctor is going to try to pass it of as a bowel problem or something. Thank you!

Just wondering if you had any conclusion to your problem? Your symptoms are exactly like mine. But I'm 43 and have gone through this about 5 times since having my second baby nearly 17 years ago. Doctor wasn't sure what it was.
I had two children.Had one normally.I had placents previa and ceaserian section with the other one.I am not pregnant.I have been having serious unbearable contraction for days now.I wonder what it is.I had an IUD removed few months ago.Had the IUD because I was having heavy bleeding due to fibroid.Instead of myomectomy,Drs suggested a hysterectomy due to the size of the fibroid. I have gatherd some ideas now by reading different posts on this page.Thanking u all for sharing.Any more suggestions?Thanks

I know this post is old, and you already would have found out by now what the pain, and bleeding was, but for anyone else who might be reading this... She could have been pregnant. I bled through all 5 of my pregnancies. With one, I started bleeding at 13 weeks. Bled heavily all the way to 26 weeks when I started having contractions and gave birth. I was young, and stupid, and not getting proper prenatal care. Turns out the baby had died at what they assumed was around 13 weeks. So just because your bleeding, it doesn't mean your not pregnant, and just because you are pregnant and bleeding, it doesn't necessarily mean the baby is hurt, or dead. I bled heavily with my daughter who is now a 12 year old healthy, happy girl, my 10 year old son, and 16 year old son. But - I also bled with the baby who died, and my other daughter who had a heart defect. I was told with the healthy babies that it has something to do with a pocket of blood from the amniotic sac not attaching to the uterine wall completely, or correctly. The other babies they said, it was because my body tried to "get rid of" them because there was something wrong with them. One successfully, and one who died at 2 1/2 months from her heart defect. I found this post looking to see why it feels like I'm having contractions, but am not pregnant. Looks like from the posts on here, the cyst on my ovary may have ruptured. I don't trust doctors so I guess I'll sit here in pain, and wait to see what happens. They never seem to know what's wrong until it's too late anyways
