Waiting on MRI for unidentified ovary mass

Hi everyone,

Hope I can find some reassurance here as I am worried sick. I'm 39 years old female and I had endometriosis for most my life. A few weeks ago i started experiencing bloating and some dull pain in my pelvic area. Also a couple of times spotting between periods. Had my smear test and that came back okay but the nurse advised I should phone my GP and discuss the spotting. Following my appointment with the GP had a blood test which came back okay and an ultrasound. Today i got a call from the doctor to tell me that they found a unidentified mass on my left ovary and she referring me urgently to a gynecologist for an MRI scan. I have a 5 year old daughter and i can't stop crying, im so so worried. I know i have fibroids  and other ovarian cysts but I know that something is not right as I have never been referred to an emergency appointment and the GP wasn't reassuring at all . Please if I can hear some of your experiences, I am so worried and can't stop thinking about my little daughter.

Thank you and sorry for the long post.

    Hiya,im so sorry to hear you haven't got your results yet. I got a letter with an appointment for the 16th of November, nothing else I can't really do until then. I do have bad days but I try and stay busy and away from Google after ive drove myself insane with what it could be .My husband says late news or no news is a good sign as if it would be very bad news I would've heard sooner. I hope that brings you a bit of comfort, hopefully you will have an answer soon and you receive good news. Keeping my fingers crossed for you . I know it's hard to stay calm as the symptoms are there to remind us but we have no choice just to wait xx

    That's amazing news,so happy that now you can breathe easily. The wait is the hardest, I still need to wait until the 16th to find our more. I feel like I can't even start to prepare for Christmas until I know what's going on. Ive stopped googling as marking me sick with worry. Very pleased for you xx
