Dodgy ovary, I’m petrified

good morning 

this is my first post.  Got a call last week to tell my my ultrasound scan was abnormal and I had a mass on my left ovary. I went to the GP about 3 weeks ago as I was having some symptoms  

Symptom: constant pain in my left side - not debilitating just sore, severe period pains worse than labour pains! Exhaustion - 3 hours during the day and 10-12 hour nights. On/off bloating leaving me looking 4-5 months pregnant. My periods are every 21 ish days and lasting 11 days. Backache again this is on and off but lower back. 

Ive has bloods done but now waiting for the gynae team to call me with an appointment. Has anyone got any advice. I’m 33 and wanted more children so I’m really freaking but I appreciate there are families and people going through worse. 

  • Welcome to the forum dodgyovaryimscared although I'm sorry about the mass that's been found on your ovary.

    Waiting for tests and results is always the hardest part of this process as many of our members will tell you but I hope this information I've found online will make this time a little bit easier.

    Fingers crossed the gynaecologist will be in touch soon but in the meantime try to stay busy and distract yourself with pleasant pursuits.

    All the best,
