Hey Sunflowergirl123 I’m in the same situation as you, going for my ultrasound scan tomorrow. Very scared, mine could be cervical or womb. Have had the blood test results for ovarian and all clear although doctor is phoning me in a few days to discuss those results. Just wanted to let you know you aren’t alone and show you some love from afar at this difficult time. 

Hi 23Harperlove - good luck for your scan tomorrow. I hope it goes ok for you and you get the all clear. Let us know how you get on x

Thank you. Can I ask what are your symptoms?xx

Of course. For the last 3 cycles my period has been much longer than usual - 14-16 days at a time. Between my last two periods I had a few odd days of spotting. Since I went to gp was referred, in the last week I am bleeding again like a period, but after only 3 days break from the end of the last! 

It’s alarming isn’t it, I’ve had persistent unusual vaginal discharge, a much lighter than normal period and leg/pelvic pain. I went to the GP with these symptoms and also 2-3 days of diarrhoea which caused me to get referral for tests, but the diarrhoea is still going on 10 days later :-( Very scared.

How did you get on today 23Harperlove? Xx

Hey! So I received my cervical smear letter through the post and had a negative result for that. I had my ultrasound, they couldn’t do TV ultrasound but assured me they didn’t need to and also that they couldn’t see anything that they would worry about although they can’t be certain so the GP has to look at and discuss the results. Apparently that could be 7-10 days! Feeling hopeful although I know that there is something not right so need to get to the bottom of it somehow! My womb lining looked the correct thickness. I’m baffled… what test to ask for next. The doctor is phoning me the day after tomorrow…

How are you Sunflowergirl123? Can I ask do you suffer with tummy pain & diarrhoea - this is becoming a worry for me.

Hi 23Harperlove - I'm so glad you have had some positive results so far. It sounds really reassuring they couldn't see anything obvious on the ultrastand that your smear was ok. 

In answer to your question, I had some bad cramping for a week or so before I started bleeding again (which is unusual for me) but not diarrhoea. 

I'm still bleeding (now 27 of the last 29 days!) But is lighter now. 

Hoping for my blood results kn the next day or so. X

Hoping for some good news for you. I still have diarrhoea. Have been to the Doctors again today, been examined, had some more samples taken and have to do a poo sample. Family are trying to keep me positive, I’m still going to work at the moment - not sure how but main bosses know I’m unwell. Each day is bringing a fresh worry but hopefully I am somewhat nearer to finding out what wrong with me and in that sense feel a little stronger than I did a couple of weeks back. Wishing you all the best, sending happy and healthy thoughts your way. xx

Hi Harpergirl, just wondering how you are doing?

I had my results a couple of days ago - I have a cyst on/near my right ovary. I am being referred on a 2ww referral to get it looked at to rule out ovarian cancer. Xx

Hello, I was wondering about you yesterday how strange! Oh wow so they’ve found a cyst, I hope you don’t have long to wait for referral bless you. Hoping for the best outcome and I hope you are feeling ok and have strong support around you. I’m ok, the doctor says they feel confident to rule out a female cancer for me although I still have unusual discharge so I’m still worried inside. However the diarrhoea is continuing so two more samples to do what have to wait until my period finishes as that can give a false positive. I’ve lost quite a bit of weight which is really unusual for me but I’d had a small gain as my last gp app but that was a little bit of positive news. Feeling less scared now but still not much nearer to knowing what’s going on with my body. Did I tell you that something flagged up with my thyroid so I’m still waiting for an endocrine team to clarify with the gp what they would like to happen medication wise with that going forward (that could be the dowse of the weight loss) Sending love xxx

I'm really pleased to hear that they have ruled a few things out for you, that sounds positive. Hopefully the endocrine team can give you some answers soon. I'm feeling ok - a bit worried obviously but hoping for the best. xx

It’s really hard isn’t it :( People have commented on my noticeable weight loss, obviously it’s unintentional so I never know how to react. Just trying to get through the days, it’s good to rule things out but also it doesn’t help when you aren’t getting any answers and you really don’t feel well. I am here if you are feeling worried or overwhelmed at any point, it’s really helped me to talk it through so thank you xx

Hi Harperlove, how are you doing?

I had my appointment today - wasn't really the news I was hoping for. The cyst on my ovary is 14cm! The Dr said it had some concerning features so am booked in for an MRI to look at it in more detail and to clarify whether it is benign or malignant. He did say though that despite the features he wasn't overly concerned. Either way it will have to be removed, but how/when will depend on the findings xx
