Im going to post this again cause I havent gotten much replys on the other and I really need help.
So i'll fill you in on what has happend..
I dont know if this has to do with my problem but about two weeks ago i had sex and the condom broke. so i got my period but it only lasted three days and wasnt heavy as usualy. I usualy last for 5-7 and bleed heavily which is my NORMAL period. well I took pregnancy tests about a week after and it came out negative. I dont think im pregnant tho.
but before my period and still now I have had SEVERE stomach pains. I have gone to the hospital twice and to the doctors once. the doctors did a cat scan and there was nothing wrong. They also did urine tests and still nothing wrong. when they feel around inside my stomach it doesnt hurt but when they push on it it does.. it also doesnt hurt me to pee so it cant be something with my urine. PLEASE HELP
WHAT COULD BE WRONG WITH ME?

Well you know you aren't pregnant which is always good, but you could have an STD which isn't. The next time you go to the doctor be sure and tell them that you are sexually active so they can do a test to check for STD's. If it's not that then you may just be stressed and getting stomache pains because of it, its uncommon but happens.
Hope I Helped.

Alright, it's doubtful that a doctor on this site is going to be able to diagnose you so you will need to continue seeing doctors.
My first thought when I read your post was it's an STD.
Why did I think this? Because if the doctor can't find anything wrong and you didn't tell him/her you're having sex he/she may not have screened for STDs. Many, many STDs have odd symptoms, no symptoms, symptoms in the beginning, only when it's severe, very little symptoms, a whole bunch of POSSIBLE symptoms, etc.
Hepatitis B is known to cause bad abdominal issues. It also is known to be hidden in some (including some parties only showing one or two symptoms). Hepatitis B is very serious business.
Chlamydia usually doesn't show symptoms but long-term contraction can cause lower abdominal pain.
Pelvic inflammatory disease (usually has came from chlamydia and/or gonorrhea) can also cause abdominal pain. The signs and symptoms are so vague doctors tend to look past it. Women who do have symptoms of PID most commonly have lower abdominal pain though (and it can result in a lifetime of chronic pelvic pain). It's a serious condition that can render you infertile for the rest of your days.
There's also the thought of a stomach ulcer, I suppose. The major symptom of an ulcer is a burning/gnawing feeling in the stomach area that lasts between 30 minutes and 3 hours though. The pain is usually mistake for heartburn (and I am assuming that was not a thought of yours). The pain usually occurs in the upper abdomen, but sometimes below the breastbone. Some people have pain right after eating and some have pain hours after eating. The pain can frequently wake up the person at night. You can have weeks of pain and then no pain for awhile.
Endometriosis can be serious business too. Usually it includes chronic pelvic pain (can possibly cause infertility, painful sex, painful bowel movements, etc.). This is when the tissues that line the uterus actually begin to grow outside of the uterus and when the body tries to expel them, it causes problems.
Ovarian cysts can cause abdominal pain as well, especially if they are larger. Having a cyst (or more than one) can be a sign of PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrom (PCOS). Though, if your periods are completely normal it doesn't sound like this is the problem.
Now, is it your actual stomach or is it below the stomach--as in, the area of the uterus/ovaries/intestines?
If it's in lower area it could be a lot of things, some that I've listed shortly above. There's such a number of things that could be wrong, there's no way we can diagnose. :(
"Abdominal pain is caused by inflammation (e.g., appendicitis, diverticulitis, colitis ), by stretching or distention of an organ (e.g., obstruction of the intestine, blockage of a bile duct by gallstones, swelling of the liver with hepatitis), or by loss of the supply of blood to an organ (e.g., ischemic colitis). To complicate matters, however, abdominal pain also can occur without inflammation, distention or loss of blood supply. An important example of this latter type of pain is the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It is not clear what causes the abdominal pain in IBS, but it is believed to be due either to abnormal contractions of the intestinal muscles (e.g., spasm) or abnormally sensitive nerves within the intestines that give rise to painful sensations inappropriately (visceral hyper-sensitivity)."

Please continue to see your doctor and be open and honest with him/her. Tell him/her that you were sexually active. Heck, request to be STD tested just to be on the safe side! Even if you used a condom every single time, they do not protect 100% against STD/STI infection.
Make sure to let your doctor exactly know where the pain is, how long it lasts, what relieves it, what makes it worse, and anything else that is not normal for you (such as diarrhea). It is very, very important to be honest with your doctor and to give him/her as much information as possible.
I hope you figure out what's going on with your body soon so you can be out of pain.

You probably didn't get many replies because nobody can tell you what this may or may not be. We are, for the most part, Average Joes and Janes, and many of the folks on here are teens.
When you went to the doctor/hospital, were you completely honest? Meaning, did you inform them of your sexual activity? That is VERY important information for them to know.
If you didn't tell them about the condom breaking, etc. now is the time to do so.
If you are a teen and worried about the ol' doc informing your parents, you are fretting for no reason. They can't tell.
Being one who has been pregnant for, like, 2 years now, I can tell you severe stomach pain is not a pregnancy symptom. In fact, if that happens during pregnancy, it's either something wrong, or, at the end, labor.
