My period was supposed to start April 30th. Since I had my iud removed April 2019, my periods have been pretty regular and my husband and I have been TTC. I missed my period for this month, and also had terrible lower back pain as well as pelvic pain. The pelvic pain isn’t too new but it’s now happening on both my left and right side along with the crazy lower back pain. It’s not constituent but when it hurts, it’s pretty bad.

I had a doctors appointment today (19 days late with my period at this point, 5 negative hpt and super light spotting now, almost nonexistent )The doctor pretty much attributed my missed period to stress potentially from covid-19 and also believes the back pain could possible be related to a kidney issue, so she ordered up urinalysis and a Pap-smear just in case.

She also spent most of the appointment tell me that I need to lose weight (which I could definitely loose some pounds )

I’m surprised she didn’t order a blood work pregnancy test. She actually didn’t ask me about any other possible pregnancy symptoms because she probably doesn’t think I’m pregnant 😔 A girl can dream. I guess I’m just worried about all the other possible diagnosis that I’ve been dreading the confirmation for.

Side note:

I’ve also felt nauseous , fatigued, a fuller feeling in the abdomen, bloating, and mood swings. But I know those are all potential symptoms of pms or hormonal issues sometimes too.
