What Causes Swollen And Painful Stomach?

Hi my period is nearly 3 months late I haven't had weight gain but i have been noticing my tummy swelling I've taken numerous home pregnancy tests and they've all come back negative and I also visitied a doctor who took a urine test that came back negative. I have also been getting an increase in discharge, which has started going slightly yellow when dry. I'm curious if pregnancy is still an option or whether it could be an sti?

Dear- thanks for using HCM and understand your concern. It is important to have a blood test for Qualitative HCG and Quantitative HCG to evaluate the possibility of pregnancy. You also need a pelvic ultrasound to check for uterine fibroid,ovarian cysts or any other gynecologic problem that can produce irregular menstrual period ,abdominal pain and bloating. Urine pregnancy test is not accurate,that is why the blood pregnancy test is the gold standard.The vaginal discharge should be evaluated by a gynecologist with a culture .
I hope that my advise has been helpful
