Your : Your friend is not pregnant. The blood pregnancy test is definitive. Her symptoms are likely due to a UTI (urinary tract infection) or even a kidney infection. She needs to see her doctor for a complete work up and evaluation to rule out UTI and pyelonephritis (kidney infection). I hope she is better soon.

Agree with Dr. J: Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.

Check 4 other causes: Right lower quadrant pain with nausea could be indicative of appendicitis, although that usually happens acutely. Other than pregnancy, there might be other gynecological conditions (e.g., ovarian cyst) causing her symptoms. She should see her doctor for further evaluation and potentially ultrasound or other imaging.

She : She needs to be completely evaluated by her physician again. Ongoing abdominal pain, nausea and back pain are very concerning symptoms. She could have diverticulitis, urinary tract infection, an infection in her tubes, or other causes. It is very important that she undergo a complete evaluation immediately. If she has ongoing pain, fever, vomiting, or light-headedness/faintness, then she needs to be seen in the er immediately.
