A few days ago I went to pick up my son to put him into bed and I had a sharp pain almost like someone stapped me in the stomach and I had to pause a moment and after 1min it went away. Well the other day I was starting to have intercourse with my husband and the pain just came suddenly, however this time it lasted 10min it was so intense that I could not move. I went to the er they did a pelvic exam and could not tell me a answer on what it was of is. I've been tested for std's and everything is negative and I can't be pregant because my husband has a vasoctomey. The doctor prescribed me tetracycline. I fill kinda of dizzy and my stomach just feels uncomfortable. Any ideas what it could be?

I would make an appointment with your OB/GYN. Sounds like maybe you could have a cyst near your ovary. I'm kind of surprised they didn't do an ultrasound in the ER. Tell your doctor the pain isn't going away and ask that an ultrasound be done. If the pain gets worse and you can't see your doctor right away, I would go back to a different ER if possible and see what they say. A second opinion never hurts.
Good Luck!

Abdominal pain can be one of the symptoms associated with transient disorders or serious disease. Making a definitive diagnosis of the cause of abdominal pain can be difficult, because many diseases can result in this symptom. Abdominal pain is a common problem. Most frequently the cause is benign and/or self-limited, but more serious causes may require urgent intervention.
Abdominal pain is traditionally described by its chronicity (acute or chronic), its progression over time, its nature (sharp, dull, colicky), its distribution (by various methods, such as abdominal quadrant (left upper quadrant, left lower quadrant, right upper quadrant, right lower quadrant) or other methods that divide the abdomen into nine sections), and by characterization of the factors that make it worse, or alleviate it.
Due to the many organ systems in the abdomen, abdominal pain is a concern of general practitioners/family physicians, surgeons, internists, emergency medicine doctors, pediatricians, gastroenterologists, urologists and gynecologists. Occasionally, patients with rare causes can see a number of specialists before being diagnosed adequately (e.g., chronic functional abdominal pain).

clinicly speaking you are having abdominal pain of unkown etiology! however the pain seems not related to any thing like eating food or doing efforts... hence this is somehow confusing. i think that you have to take the medication prescribed because you might be suffering from an internal infection however i am not sure about it. u might be suffereing from a viral infection too and this irritate the nerves and cause such pain... however if this pain did not disappear later in time it would be suggested to do a scan of the abdomen to investigate the etiology...

Did the ER dr suggest following up with a gynecologist? The reason I'm asking is b/c one possibility for this kind of pain is endometriosis. Another possibility could be cysts on your ovaries.

Well there could be several things like just irritation, also just cramping, and even you just need to go to the bathroom. You need to talk with you gyno to make sure everything is okay. Good luck!
