Borderline Pelvic/Trans Vaginal Ultrasound

Hope74

Hi,

I wonder if any of you have experienced the same as I am currently.

I've been having pelvic, abdominal, bowel and nausea/feeling full, dragging down my legs and backache symptoms for quite some time now. Probably around the last ten weeks. My periods have been spasmodic since I had a Mirena fitted in August '18.

I experience post-coital bleeding regularly and quite painful cramps during/after intercourse.

I visited my GP around 5 weeks ago. She ordered swabs and a pelvic examination, a CA125 test and a Pelvic Ultrasound.

The swabs were normal, the CA125 reading was 13, however I have been told today that the pelvic ultrasound is borderline. She booked me in urgently with my GP-Thursday is the next available appointment. I'm medically trained (as a Midwife), so as you can imagine, my mind is doing cartwheels.

Have any of you had a borderline PELVIC USS? What did it or does it mean? I'm trying to hope for the best with it being borderline, but in real terms I'm not sure what to think!

Any support you can offer whilst I'm sitting here driving myself insane, would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Jo

    Hi,

    so sorry to hear this , thinking of you and sending positivity.

    Can you tell me how the transvaginal ultrasound was? I'm so scared and have mine on Tuesday

    I personally don't find it as uncomfortable as having the speculum for a smear. The worst part for me is having a full bladder for the transabdominal - especially if the appointments are running behind. I sit there in the waiting room wondering if I have time to wee and drink another litre before the appointment. 

     

    Trans vaginally it hurt for me a little bit this time as I have a large ovarian cyst causing pressure but I had one two years ago and it didn't hurt at all. Even this time it was very bearable.

     

    Just try and relax your muscles as much as possible and keep telling yourself it'll be over soon enough.
