Bloating that won't go away | awaiting ultrasound

Hi

 

I'm 23, female.

I've had serious bloating for around two months now which also hurts, at first it only seemed to occur a week before period then completely disappear (this also happened at same time as very painful breasts).

After my last period, it hasn't gone at all. It's been two and a half weeks and I look 4/5 months pregnant. 

I've got an appointment tomorrow, and talks of an ultrasound being booked in but naturally a little worried.

I'm on the pill and have been for six years, never had a single issue. And I got my last period so I'm not pregnant either (also had a test at doctors days before my last period was due).

My doctor is concerned too as two women in my family have passed from stomach cancers.

I know it's quite rare for younger women to have any cancer related issues in the lower region but I'm still a little concerned.

Anyone else had similar symptoms/what was your outcome?

Thank you 

Emma
