What Causes Severe Abdominal Pain?

I have been having strong abdominal pains for over a week now. Last night I went to the ER, they did blood & urine tests which all came back normal. Honestly, I feel pregnant. I've been feeling really strong movements in my stomach most of the day, and I'm not sure if I'm late on my period yet. I haven't gained any weight according to the scale, but my stomach looks like it got bigger too. I've taken 4 pregnancy tests on my own, that came back negative. And had negative results at the ER. Could I still be pregnant? If not, what is this caused from?

Hi.
This shows that you are not really pregnant.
This may be due to a condition called - Pseudocyesis : Means there is no actual pregnancy but the patient gets all the signs and symptoms. This is confirmed by a negative ultrasonography. He patient who has the extreme desire of having Motherhood again develops this sort of a problem. No one really knows the reason and the exact mechanism by which this happens. Consult your Senior Gynecologist who has seen such more cases for counselling and further management.
