Scared waiting for pelvic ultrasound

Last Thursday I saw my GP as I keep having to go the toliet a lot and also I was worried my coil had mislodged. She did an internal and informed me that I felt "bulky"on the one side (right I think) and arranged for an ultrasound. 

So today the clinic has called and I'm booked in for next Thursday for a pelvic ultrasound and now I'm so worried as to what it might be. Until I came on here I never put the symptoms together that I've been having a really bad bloated feeling every night that I wake up with right up to my chest for the last few weeks along with lower stomach pain, sickness and fatigue. I'm also contispated very badly and have lost weight which isn't good.

I'm a single parent so don't have anyone to talk this through with and feel so alone. When I go for my scan will they tell me the results there and then or will I have to wait?

I just feel like I was getting my life back on track and now bang this hits me. Also what does the term bulky even mean?

    Hi sorry to hear you feel so alone

    I too have an ultrasound booked for this Sunday 26th of jan I am worried too

    but I want to know why I've had abnormal bleeding only after I've had a pee and wipe sanitary pads not ever needed  (black red pink brown and clots ) for past 8mths bad bloating acid reflux to the point of vomiting acid in my sleep for past 2mths  and now a sudden onset of pelvic groin and back pain feels ovaries and kidney that started last Wednesday the 15th  I visited my Gp on Monday 20th with my concerns and it's getting worse since I've seen herpain worse and more shattered than ever  all urine tests she did Monday came back clear from infection but not had blood tests back yet 

    my Gp booked an emergency ultrasound so I received a call Tuesday evening with the Sunday appointment 

    I think she booked an emergency one because I had visited her in October with my abnormal bleeding and  less intense abdo pain symptoms and she said she would arrange one then but forgot

    I will let you know what to expect and how I get on it might help with your worries 

    your not alone remember that
