Anxiety about test results

Hi everyone, 

It feels a bit odd posting on here but am in need of maybe some reassurance or just some where to get it all out. 

I'm 29 and been having symptoms probably for a couple of months now, all of which I have put down to something else. My stomach is severely bloated permanently, I look 6 months pregnant, it feels swollen, I'm having pelvic, lower back an thigh pains with a general heavy feeling. Other than that I feel well in myself.

I finally phoned my doctor on Tuesday who has reffered me for an urgent ultrasound and got me in for several blood tests yesterday, (gold pot, purple pot and grey pot) not really sure what they are tested for.

I guess I'm just looking for some reassurance and anyone who has been in the same situation. 

Thank you x

  • Hi Hayley

    I am older than you but quite a few years ago I had all the symptoms you have described.

    I was diagnosed with fibroids one of which was the size of a 6 month pregnancy!!

    This was diagnosed with ultrasound, although I did not have blood tests.

    Always best to do as you are doing and get checked out. Good luck x
