Ca125

hello everyone. I’m new to this forum but would love some advice from anyone. 

I have now missed 2 periods and been having pelvic pain and back pain. The doctor sent me for an ultrasound which came back clear. My ca125 the first time was 14 and this time was 18. Do any of you know if this is a bad sign. I’m worried sick to the point I have really bad heartburn and chest tightness. Thank you.

    Hello Potts2019, 

    It's good news your ultrasound has come back clear. If you are worried about the meaning of your CA125 results, the best thing to do is to give your doctor a call and ask whether she/he can explain these results to you. Your GP will be in the best position to enlighten you on this and help you feel less worried. You can at the same time mention to your doctor that you have experienced heartburn and chest tightness. 

    Best wishes,
