Last night, after sexual intercourse, I felt an extreme pain in my lower abdomen. I had been cramping all day, as I do before my period comes, but this pain was unbearable and my period still isn’t here (now 4 days late). I went to the toilet (I was struggling to walk because of the pain) to see if it could be something to do with my bowel, but nothing happened. I thought I could be constipated, but I remembered that I had been to the toilet earlier in the day and everything was normal. After about 5 minutes of being in the bathroom, I suddenly began to feel extremely weak and nauseous. I tried to throw up when I felt the urge, but nothing came up. I sat down and leant against the bath and I started to sweat excessively and start to become really hot. The bathroom window was open and there was a breeze, but my boyfriend still had to bring me a fan because I was struggling. I couldn’t even hold my phone because I was so weak. We called for someone to come and pick me up and take me to a walk in centre, because I didn’t feel an ambulance was necessary, but by the time they arrived, I felt fine, just a mild cramp. I didn’t end up going to the hospital because it didn’t happen again and I now feel fine. I am just worried and in shock because all of this happened in the space of 20 minutes and I don’t have a clue what it was or what it was caused by. At first I thought it could be good poisoning, and while the symptoms were similar, from a past experience I knew it wasn’t that.
Has anyone had these symptoms before? I did a symptom checker and one of the top 3 was pregnancy. Could I be pregnant? Has this happened to anyone who later found out they were pregnant?
