Hi

can I ask did you get internal and external scan, I also went yesterday but they only did external this time I have been scanned before where cysts were found. 
 

thanks

Hi yes I had both internal and external scans, have they said anything to you about removing the cysts? 

No they put me on a 'wait and watch' list. 
 

im 38 so they said unlikely to be ovarian cancer even though my gran died at 42 and my mum and 4 sisters had full hysterectomys by 40. 
 

they just did external ultrasound yesterday but did ask me to lay in my side which I didn't have last time. I'm bleeding heavy maybe that's why they didn't do internal one.

I dont think the bleeding is the case as I'm also bleeding so heavy and have been for over a year now, maybe you could request an internal one, my doctor instantly referred me for both scan after having a phone call appointment, I wonder why they asked you to lay on your side, I've been for hundreds of ultrasound scans and never been asked that

Yeah I thought that was odd too, I also was asked to empty my bladder I assumed this was to do internal but it wasn't she just re did scan then asked me to breath in and go onto my side. Strange 

That is strange, has your doctor been in touch with you over the results of your ultrasound? My doctor's will only book an appointment for abnormal results otherwise they get the receptionist to tell you over the phone which is obviously worrying me even more 

No nothing, she said could take up to 2 weeks for results because of Christmas, I live in Scotland, last time I think it was a month or so, I waited 2 weeks for CA125 results. Everything is taking so long.
