Abdominal Pain??

Over the last few days (since thursday) I have been experiencing pain in my lower right adominal region. The pain is not consistent..sometimes it doesnt hurt, other times it is dull, and then there are times it is a sharper pain. The pain also seems to "travel" on occasion along my right side up to under my rib cage. I have had a cold and ear infection (which is being treated for antibiotics). I am sexually active and am due for my period in a couple days but these pains are not typical of my menstrual cramps. A few days before this happened there was some blood when i had a bowel movement and have only had one bowel movement since then (it was fine) (Sorry for the details). I also have a loss of appetite and am not eating as much as I usually do. Any help would be appreciated I know I should see a doctor rather than asking Yahoo Answers but am away at school and the PA at the school is not the greatest in diagnosing people. Thanks....
Just a few more details...The blood was bright red with the stool. Also, Today the pain seems to be more concetrated on my right side under my rib cage.

Loss of appetite, abdominal pain. and bloody, irregular bowel movement are signs of serious illnesses such as ovarian and colon cancers. Tumors will cause bleeds and pain. You may also have an internal bleed caused by an ulcer. Please go to an emergency clinic or hospital. The bloody bowel movement is cause for immediate concern. I apologize for waving red flags at you but it is in your best interest that you address this health concern now rather than later. Better safe than sorry.
