Ovarian cancer?

Hi all.

Unsure if this is the right place to post as I'm a newbie but just looking for some advice.

 I Started getting symptoms of oc back in April, went to gp and was basically told she thought I had pelvic inflammatory and was put on antibtioics, bloods came back and swabs to say this wasn't the case. Was sent for an ultrasound as she thought my coil had gone missing, again she was wrong it was still in place. Fast forward to June, symptoms have progressively become worse. Intense lower back pain, pain in abdomen, stomach area along with cramping , pelvic pain,heartburn, frequent urination, constipation, tiredness, bloating to the point people ask when the baby is due! My breasts have become tender, pain in right leg, sex is pretty much non existent as it's painful and I always bleed after.  Loosing weight without even trying, lack of appetite, get half way through and i cant eat anymore, feeling sick most days. Also feel like theres a pressure build up in my vagina and my husband commented that it feels tight (sorry tmi) Im having my blood works done again and they are repeating my CA 125. I've suffered with ovarian cysts for the past 8 years so a new gp wants to rule oc out before investigating further. Has anyone else had similar symptoms and its turned out to be un related?

Have also done 10 pregnancy tests and each one was negative.

Xx

    I'm so sorry about all the symptoms you're experiencing. I can't begin to imagine how difficult this must be for you at the moment

    Hopefully some of our members will be along soon to share their experiences with you but I just wanted to wish you good luck with the further investigation and let you know we're thinking of you.
