sharp abdominal pain 3weeks after taking plan b. cycle is 25 days, began on 10/4. plan b 10/11. took preg test 10/22, neg. period is late. what's causing the pain? sex was on 10/9. what's giving me these sharp intense pain?

Accepted Answer

: I would recommend taking another pregnancy test now. You may have taken it too early to know if it was truly negative. If a repeat test is still negative, then another cause for pain could be an ovarian cyst. Those are more common after taking Plan B, as are delayed/irregular periods for 2-3 months. In any case, you should see a gynecologist to be evaluated for the pain.

Liposuction: Abdominal etching is liposuction done to carve out the shape of a "six-pack" - or well defined rectus abdominus muscles - by suctioning out more fat where the tendinous parts are, and leaving behind more fat where the muscle bellies should be - to make it look as though you have more muscle development than you really do.  In standard liposuction, you would try to reduce the fat thickness evenly.
