I have been experiencing a weird fluttering/muscle spasm(not painful)sensation in my lower abdomen possibly uterus. It almost feels like a baby kicking.
I experience this everyday, several times a day. It is more annoying than anything and if I put my hand there I can sometimes feel it. I have heard of this happening during pregnancy as the uterus expands but I am pretty sure that I am not pregnant as I am on the shot and have no other symptoms. I also experienced the same thing two years a go for a short period of time.
Does anyone know what could be causing this? Please no speeches on the Depo unless you feel this is the problem because I have had no problems with it so far in the 2&1/2 yrs that I have been on it. I actually found a post on this problem on a different site but nobody knew what would cause it.
I will be going to the doctor in a couple of weeks for an unrelated problem and I will ask him if it is still going on. I just thought someone might know in the meantime. I have searched on the internet but have found nothing so far.

hey i have the same thing happen to me. i usually find that it happens on the 1st week of my pill. i too am not pregnant. when this first started i also thought i was. but with me it comes and goes. and it really is just spasms. i've always tested negative for pregnancy and i alway take my pill and get my period like clockwork. so though it may seem like a pregnancy i dont believe it is. but do tell us what ur doctor says.

Hi to you both -
I have not ever had this happen to me, but I have a thought. If it happens when you are pregnant, and on depo and the pill - might it be hormonal changes in your body that is changing the size or something of your uterus? I have no idea if this is right, but it struck me that pregnancy changes hormones tremendously, as does depo and the pill.
Just a thought.

Hey!
This happened to me a few months ago for about a week and a half and I am definitely not pregnant. I suffer with what I believe is IBS (specialist appt on 1st July). I noticed (and this may sound silly) that when I ate whole grain english muffins with 9 different types of grain in it I would get the stomach flutterings very low down. I stopped with the muffins and it has been fine since. Although that may just be a coincidence?
Good luck with ur quest on finding an answer!

I have it too, and I actually posted a question about it on another site awhile back, a site where a doctor replied (or rather, a person claiming to be a doctor, lol). Anyhow, he said it was the colon. I can't remember exactly what he said, but it was something to the effect of: the colon contracts quite a bit, and while most people cannot feel this happen, some do, especially really thin women. And that also certain foods can make it contract more so than usual, making it easier for the person to feel the "fluttering".
I really can't say whether or not this is true, but it sounded good to me, lol. It's more than what I got from my own doctor a couple years ago, when it first started happening. I asked him, and he looked at me like I was crazy, and changed the subject! I was too embarassed to bring it up again.
Anyhow, I hope this helps. Or maybe someone will read it, and completely discount this "internet doctor's" theory. Either way.... :)

I have been watching this post because I have been experiencing the same problem - felt like baby movements very low in the abdomen. This time it lasted about 3 days pretty regularly. Not painful, but VERY annoying, especially when you don't know what it is.
When I went to my doctor this week, I asked him - "You're gonna think I'm crazy, but ... ". He said when an infection is present, fluid collects in the area in an attempt to fight it. It's very common and, in my case, was indicative of a bladder infection.
