Hello just been worried about symptoms I've been having woke up one day with sudden pelvic pain it shocked me so Went to GP and sent to GUM clinic got given antibiotics seemed to help a little but pain is constant dullness now still so not sure. Went for an ultrasound and got told I have a small functional cyst (called corpus but looks and sounds like a complex cyst one on google!!! ) on my left ovary and told not to worry radiologist said maybe its not my ovary causing the problem when I know it is because my ovary was throbbing previously!!

My tumor mark test came back 16 all my bloods were okay apart from slightly elevated WBC. I'm so worried. Went to see a gyn and hes not really too concerned even though i told him when I poo my vagina bleeds brown discharge a bit and thinks it's an ongoing infection so gave me more pills which didn't help. Gave me a pelvic exam and too and couldn't feel anything wrong so I'm stumped and worried sick everyday, going back to him soon since not resolved and now developed stomach and lower rib pains freaking out now im 29 please help this has been going on for months with no resolution feel like a Guinea pig with having so much meds thrown at me xxx

    Hi lily

    I'm worried sick like you, I have very similar symptoms (although I'm older than you), I'm just awaiting my blood results and hoping it's all ok. Generally I feel fine but my anxiety is through the roof and I can't seem to function properly at all with worry. :-( it's just the worst feeling. I've had an IUS now for almost 2yrs and had this break through bleeding issue ever since. I already suffer with IBS and the anxiety is making that 10x worse! 
     

    I hope you get sorted soon. X

    Hi Stef

    Thanks for your message its nice to be able to talk to someone going through similar its been hell. Yes the anxiety is really bad and I'm also finding it hard to function people around me keep telling me to distract and not worry too oh if only it was that easy.

    I hope your blood tests come out fine keeping my fingers crossed for you, its such a hard time. Feel free to let me know how it goes if you feel comfortable :happy:

    I'm also on a contraceptive too and have been for a long time along with irregular bleeding so I know how worrying that probably is too as I assumed it's been because of that but not sure anymore my gynaecologist says it common for that to happen though. 

    Thank you I see gyn again in a month which feels like ages away I think due to my age its not being taken as serious unfortunately even though this situation has been going on for months now xxxx

    Hi lily

     

    thanks so much. It really does help. I called the surgery this morning, and bloods all came back 'normal'. I'm taking the results to my Gynae Appt in a couple of weeks but my GP says 'no further action required'.
     

    But like you, I'm worried that I've got very similar symptoms to you and I feel like there could be something going on. 
     

    im just so anxious about it, and so drained with worry.  I really hope my gynae consultant can give me some answers. 
     

    reading everyones' comments is helpful to know I'm not alone. Thank you so much for sharing. I hope you're ok too. Xxx
