Hi,

Ive been experiencing severe lower back pain whenever I strain myself for eg: household chores.
I have been sexually inactive since dec 25th 2007. The last I got my periods was on Jan 26th 2008. Ive tested negative for home pregnancy test twice. So, I dont think I could be pregnant. However, Ive been experiencing a lot of pregnancy like symptoms like headaches, fatigue, mood swings, increased appetite etc. Ive also gained inches on my otherwise slim waist and stomach.
I am a hyperthyroid patient past 4 years and have been under medication for those many years now. Ive also had a history of PCOS (ovarian cysts) and my gyno had put me on period inducing pills for few months but after that Ive been totally fine. Never needed those pills again. Ive always maintained a healthy life style by eating right and exercising. But past couple of months Ive been feeling sick and have not got my periods. If I am pregnant why are the home tests showing negative and if not then what could be the reason for this aching back? Please advise. I am new to the country and I am yet to get a medical insurance done for myself. Thanks.
