I have been having cramps and swollen ankle since a few weeks. My stomach is a little bit queasy in the morning.The other day mum kind freak me out when she joke "the last time i had swollen ankle, i was pregnant with ur brother". I know, i am pretty sure that am not pregnant. I have been on the pill and my period have been coming regularly. Even though, i have a pregnancy test which proved to be negative. So what is causing my swollen foot and upset stomach?
It has been more than 2 weeks that it has been like that. So please help me.

I would go to see your doctor, it could be a reaction to the pill you are taking. My friends leg swelled up, she was on dianette (sorry not sure if that's how it's spelt)

Your symptoms are on this list ...
http://www.ylcf.org/hormone-imbalance/06.htm
Miriam wrote her story in 1997 and revised it in 2002.
Stress --> Hormone Imbalance --> "Health Issue"
Perhaps your stress is due to the pill.
You may wish to do the on line hormone tests at www.hormoneprofile.com or www.johnleemd.com
If as I suspect they recommend you obtain hormones please have a saliva test done see www.npis.info or www.salivatest.com. A saliva test will check out active hormones something that blood tests do not.
If a hormone is suggested by the saliva test please take the dose suggested. Size 10 shoes are not twice as good if you have size 5 feet.
The WHO (World Health Organisation) uses saliva tests.
A transcript of a John Lee talk http://www.keepsmilin.com/transcriptdrlee.htm
I have transcribed John Lee's December 2002 & &June 2003 talks
http://uk.geocities.com/willim_walker@btinternet.com/willim_001
Any of these talks explain why for active hormone levels a blood test is worthless. Blood tests find hormones, but they are the ones on their way out of the body. They are not the active hormones.
Search the web for "natural progesterone cramps" and you will find many pages
e.g.
http://www.ultrapms.com/progesterone.html
LOW PROGESTERONE LEVELS
Result in estrogen dominance, PMS, early peri-menopause onset, low libido, excessively heavy bleeding during a period, weight-gain, “vice” like headaches, primary dysmenorrhea or cramps,
However I would rely on a saliva test to confirm the requirement for progesterone or any other hormones.
There is a list of doctors at www.npis.info who are aware of the benefits of natural progesterone they may be more helpful than your GP. Maybe you are about to educate your GP before using the hormones.
In countries other than the UK there are doctors knowledgeable about natural progesterone and other hormones
Natural progesterone means natural to humans i.e. identical to that produced by the human body.
For a good explanation of how vital natural progesterone is to humans see
http://www.hormoneprofile.com/howhormoneswork.htm
and other pages on this site
Wild yam is that Wild Yam the body will not convert it to progesterone. Also do not take fake/synthetic progesterone/progestins manufactured by the drug companies they will be of NO benefit.
After having done a saliva test any progesterone you buy must be natural progesterone USP. USP means United States Pharmacopoeia.
Once your hormones are balanced you'll be rid of the cramps etc
