Hi Loup, 

It sounds like you have had a hard time in the last 9 months with these horrendous periods, getting pelvic pain, black pain as well as feeling bloated and nauseous. You did well to go to the GP especially as you have been struggling with painful periods for so many years. It's good your GP took things seriously and had an urgent scan organised and it's great that results came through the same day and you didn't have to wait. It's easy as you say to overthink and worry when you don't yet have all the answers and when you haven't yet spoken to a specialist about what these results actually mean. I hope that you will find out more soon and that they can explain things to you and it isn't anything concerning. It's tempting when faced with all the medical jargon from medical reports to look things up on Google to try and find meaning or a definition of these terms but this usually gives you no clarity and will only make you worry.  If you've been tempted to do this (and we all do it!!), try and resist the urge and give your GP a call instead and see whether they can explain to you what it all means. Waiting for a diagnosis can be nerve racking and I would suggest you have a look at our helpful tips to help you cope while waiting for important news.  

Hopefully you will hear from other members of our community who have been told they had endometrial thickness and ovarian cysts  - and there are quite a few on our forum who have been in a similar place so hopefully they will be along shortly to share their experience with you. 

Best wishes,
