Nervous about lower ab pain!

[surf mama]

I have had strange pains for a few weeks now. It is hard to explain where the pain is...it is on both sides in my lower abdomen and when I walk it seems to hurt down thru my upper inner thigh. It is most uncomfortable when I walk or exercise and the pain isn't constant....sometimes it is very mild and sometimes it is enough to make walking uncomfortable. It is never super strong though.

Anyway it just worries me that it might be pelvic inflammatory disease or something else that will effect my fertility. I am trying to conceive right now and I just finished a 50 day cycle. I am going to see if I can get a gyn or midwife appt this week. My insurance copays are so high that I hate to go in but I'm guessing I should get this checked out. I've been waiting it out hoping that it was just a pulled muscle but I don't think that's it.

Does anyone know what this sounds like? Any advice? Thank you!!!

I'm confused about what you mean by a "50 day cycle." Are you taking hormones for infertility? Could the side effects be the culprit?

Also, I had an awful urinary tract infection that made my lower abdomen so painful I couldn't walk. I had to be carried into the ER. Are you prone it UTI's? Hope you feel better soon.

Grace Prevailed-My last cycle went 50 days long from the 1st day of my period until it started again....I usually have 35 day long cycles so that was a long one! I'm not taking anything for infertility. Thanks for the UTI suggestion. I don't think that is it because I have no discomfort when I go to the bathroom. I am wondering if it might be some other kind of vaginal infection though. I don't have any itching or discharge though.

I called and can't get in to see a gyn or midwife locally until the end of the month due to a shortage of drs. So I have to decide if I want to drive a ways to see someone sooner. It sure would be nice to get this figured out.
