Stomach muscle pain when I laugh or cough... (serious answers only)?

I have a soreness/pain in my lower stomach muscles when I laugh or cough.....it started yesterday, but has now spread to the muscles along my sides. They are tender to the touch and it hurts to get up out of the bed or a couch. I have been careful about what I am eating today. Mostly soup and toast.

Here are some details:

1) I have moved my bowels a lot more than usual over the past few days and am thinking I may be sore from this.

2) I have not excersized over the past few days so it's not from that.

3) I am trying to get pregnant and may possibly be about 2 weeks, (may or may not) but this feels extreme for that.

Any ideas????? Seem familiar to anybody???

    This could be coming from over use of the muscles, even though you haven't exercised for a few days . It will cause you to be tender and hurt. It's possible that the pain is coming from the intestinal tract. It's wise to stick to soup and toast for a few days to give the intestines a chance to rest.

    apply a heating pad to your intestinal area for twenty minutes at a time, do this frequently throughout the day. This should start to help relax the muscles.

    If you have any further questions please let me know,

    as much as you may not want to, see a doctor asap. insist that they do something. it could be appendicitis, which needs medical help, but could also be endometriosis which is when the lining material of your womb travels, or an ovarian polyp or cyst (not cancer or anything worrying like that!!!!). If you have these little polyps on your ovaries, they can burst from time to time, which cause immense pain in the area you've described. it is important that you see a doctor and INSIST that they help if they are wanting you send you back home without answers. These things can all be delt with quite straightforwardly when caught early, but only with a doctors help- so refuse to leave until they do their job!
