abdominal pain and headaches

Good news. I am not pregnant in any way shape or form. I am thankful
for that because I am not ready for baby #3. The Dr. still doesn't
know what my problem is. The CBC all was normal and the Pregnancy test
was Neg. He says I need to go to my OB/GYN. My OB/GYN says my PCP
needs to deal with. This makes the 2 PCP I have had in 1 year. I can't
stand not knowing what is wrong with me and why I can't pick up my
children without pain. Oh well, I guess I am going to have to live with
it.
Thanks for your time and help,
Jolene

And, what are the symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy and if it ruptures what are those symptoms? And could I just be pregnant maybe a little less than thought?
