Hello,
I previously went to the ER twice because my abdomen was hurting. The first time, the doctors didn't do anything, but the second time, they did CT scans, a sonogram, a blood test, and urine tests. All came back fine, but I have still been having pain. Fast forward a few months I have been put on birth control to determine if it's female issues or other problems going on. I started the birth control like a month and a half ago, this month I have started my period for the THIRD time, Ive been crying for the past hour because the pain is so bad, and it's not a period cramp pain its the abdomen pain. For the past week or so ***TMI*** when I wiped its been a black substance... don't know if that means anything.

Have you seen a gastroenterologist and asked to have a full pelvic ultrasound, endoscopy, colonoscopy and HYDA scan to check gallbladder function? You should have your blood checked again with a full iron panel to check for deficiency/anemia. It wouldn’t hurt to get a full thyroid panel, too.

Black can mean, intestinal bleeding though medications can also cause that notoriously pepto bismol but also
activated charcol, iron supplements, antibiotics even blueberries You might see a gastroenterologist for a colonoscopy, to be safe. Simple things like flatulence can be remarkably painful, but some conditions need care.
There is an increase in GI cancers and a dangerous condition where the colon twists disabling the digestive tract.
You may be due for a colonoscopy anyway.
