Good day everyone.

I am a nursing student. My ultimate goal is to be a travel nurse.

I am happily married for over 12 years and have 3 children: ages 6, 4, and 2. Family is the most important thing in the world and I want to help families work out problems so they do not have to be torn apart.

If your family is as important to you as mine is to me, get the help you need. If you do not like my advice, I respect that but look for someone that works for your needs.

Your family is worth it!

what are the chances of being pregnant if you have never missed a period, have had literally about 80-100 negative pregnany tests done and one negative blood test from the doctor but have had uterine cramping and pain for the past 4 months. (link)
You can absolutely be pregnant and still have a period. It is very rare for a home pregnancy test to be wrong assuming you did it correctly and blood tests from the doctor... well... I have never heard of one being wrong. Also, every woman is different but when I was pregnant, I never had "cramping" until I was in labor. So cramping is not a sign of pregnancy and if there IS cramping in pregnancy, it could be a sign that there is something going on that your doctor needs to know about.

That being said, there are other reasons for your cramping that you may want to discuss with your doctor:

The first thing could be an abnormal menstrual cycle or something affecting your menstrual cycle causing you to have frequent menstrual-like cramping.

A list of other things it could be are:
ovulation pain
swollen ovaries after clomid or other refrtility medications
your period is about to come,
endometriosis,
ectopic pregnancy,
leiomyoma uteri (fibroids),
pelvic inflammatory disease (PID),
appendicitis,
constipation,
colitis,
ovarian cysts,
torsion of the ovary.

To asses the possible cause of cramps, you should be able to answer the following questions:

Do I have a condition explaining the cramps?
Where are the cramps (very low, high, or above the uterus)?
Are the cramps located more in the middle, more on one or the other side, or all over?
Are they mild, moderate, or severe?
Are they rhythmic (for example, every 3-4 minutes or so)
How long do they last (minutes, hours, days)?
Do they happen only on certain days of the menstrual cycle (keep a diary)?
Do they typically go away when the menstrual period begins?
If in doubt, have your doctor examine you to find out what it could be.


I got the above information from this website should you want to refer and do more research.
