OK first off I've taken several pregnancy test including one yesterday 7/28/16. I'm pretty positive I'm not pregnant but I have so many pregnancy symptoms. Something's not right in there and I'm concerned with cysts or other complications with my lady parts.
Symptoms: late period light and short 4days... Cramping starts day after. Light cramping twinges pokes above vagina. Still cramping on and off since then sometimes feels like I'm about to start again. Symptoms accompanying this... Empty hunger pain above belly button not hungry, nauseous but not morning sickness. Extreme mood swings. Constipation and heaviness and a hemmoroid this morning. Indigestion overall feeling unwell. I have also been lightheaded. My irritability is like I'm pmsing constantly.
I have been to the Dr he wants to wait a week for the cramping before an ultrasound to see if it's a cyst. Has anyone had similar situations?
Also my vagina is sensitive sometimes like I'm aroused but I'm not. I'm having dull backaches as well

What can I do next?

The symptoms you describe could be so many different things. They may or may not have anything to do with your reproductive system. I'm not sure I would qualify any of them as pregnancy symptoms, as most of them wouldn't be pregnancy symptoms until the last few months (except the nausea - that one started around 6 weeks for me and lasted the rest of the pregnancy)

I know it's hard, but try to relax. Keep a journal of what you've been eating and when, what symptoms you notice and when, what activities you are doing throughout the day. These are the kinds of things that will really help your doctor.

Good luck! Hope you find some answers soon.

The ladies below have given you some good advice. After having the doctor check all of this (and the ultrasound) and nothing is found, ask the doctor for an MRI. Not a CT scan.

A friend of mine kept having a backache and cramping. He kept telling her that she just needed to exercise more. She was already a "fit" woman. The pain was intermittent and went on for an entire year. Finally before a trip overseas, she was in so much pain that she went in begging for pain meds to get her through the plane ride. The doctor on call refused to give her anything without testing, and a previous CT scan had shown nothing, so she asked for an MRI, which I think he ordered just to appease her. That MRI showed some awful stuff going on around her kidney and all over her uterus. it was a webbing of some sort, and of course, the first thought to everyone who saw the scan was cancer. Two weeks later, she was in surgery with an oncologist, gyncologist and kidney specialist all in the operating room.

I am grateful to be able to say that it was not cancer. She was so very, very lucky. They had to do a complete hysterectomy and remove all that webbing from everywhere, including around her kidney, which was twice the size of what it should have been. The back pains were caused by her kidney. It took months for her kidney to go back to the proper size.

That doctor had misdiagnosed her for a year. If it had been cancer, my friend would no longer be with us.

Be on top of your health here. Get the proper diagnostic treatment so you can suss this out.

i think ibs could be a cause. talk with your regular doc about it if the gyn finds nothing.
(we had corn on the cob on a monday, after about a year of no corn at all. i had symptoms like you describe for 4 days after... minus the period and hemmoroid. diet plays a huge roll in how we feel)

I had similar symptoms starting in my early thirtys. It took many years to figure them all out. Over several years, I learned I have IBS (that was first diagnosis). Then endometriosis. I had exploratory surgery in my midthirtys to confirm the endometriosis. After that, scar tissue caused pain. At times along the way I had ovarian cysts. I had abdominal pain throughout it all

Before much was known about endometriosis, a doctor thought my pain, etc. was caused by emotions. "What was my relationship with my father like?" Sort of questions. Medicine has improved and greatly expanded since I was 30.

I gladly accepted menopause. I felt so much better. A hysterectomy was a god send for me. Still had some pain after the surgery. I could live with that. Menopause stopped the residual pain.

I still have to deal with the IBS from time to time. Mostly, it's not a problem.

Any number of things could cause your symptoms. Only a doctor can determine what they are.

Have you had your thyroid checked?
If you look up hypothyroid symptoms you'll see that you have a lot of those same symptoms.
Have you doctor test your TSH, free T3 and free T4 levels.
Thyroid issues can mess with your system.
I was diagnosed hypothyroid at 32 (I'm 54 now) and getting that treated (I started taking Synthroid and 8 yrs later switched to Armour Thyroid) helped with my period issues.

Some of it sounds like you're having GI tract issues.

Backache - could be from constipation same for the hemorrhoid, indigestion, nausea, bowel cramping and spams ... or could be IBS. Think that can worsen with your cycle.

Just something to maybe ask about.

If the gyn finds nothing check with your regular doctor and have him check your thyroid and vitamin D levels. Both can cause the issues you are currently having and both can be easily treated with medication.
