Hi
i had a ca125 blood test plus the usual fbc test on Wednesday. I forgot to ask how long it takes to get the results. Does anyone know how long it takes?
Trying not to worry and hoping it’s just ibs
Thanks

Hi HO. Welcome to the forum.
These routine tests are typically handled in bulk using high capacity machines so they're pretty quick. In my area, they turn around within a week - often in a few days. I suggest you phone the receptionist after 7 days.
thankyou for getting back to me
You're welcome. Happy to help. Good luck with your results.
Hi
how did you get on please? I have exactly the same test and am hoping it’s just IBS too..
Thank you
hi
thankfully just ibs. Was so worried as my mum had cervical cancer. I really hope your test results go ok
Take care

Aw that’s great news..you must be so relived esp after your mum
what symptoms did you have, if you don’t mind me asking? How did you get on with your internal examination, I’ve got a tender spot which feels like it’s around my left ovarie and it’s not all the time and not a pain just like a slight ache. Felt tender during examination but she didn’t feel anything in-toward.. but it really hurts when I’m on my period and have a dull ache there when I’m ovulating..period pain is really bad, periods have gone from being like clock work to being 35-21 day cycles (I am 32 and not on any contraception so could be my body just changing) .. and I get bloated most days but do have IBS/constipation etc.
Sorry for essay! Just wanted to see what the similarities were.
Thank you xx
hi Thankyou i had extreme bloating and hardness of my abdomen, also passing urine more however I am menopause age , like you the exam was tender but they didn’t feel anything. I have bad Ibs and Am on the mirena coil for very heavy painful periods. I haven’t had any more advise from gp. Try not to worry I looked into it too much and was convinced, fingers crossed your ok
