    Hi Ashelz

    I've had pretty much the same symptoms as you except the periods they have been ok. I had the ca125 blood test a week on Wednesday just gone then had a phone call from my gp Thursday to say it was raised at 52 and she was booking a scan. I had a phone call from the hospital Friday night wanting to book me in for the Tuesday but I had another appointment so was booked for Thursday. I am just waiting for results of my scan. The urgent scans they normally have you in quite quick they say within 2 weeks but it tends to be quicker than that in most cases x

    Hi,

    I'm in a similar position. Been suffering for over 2 weeks now with symptoms getting worse - Bad stomach pain/cramps multiple times a day and bloating alongside. I haven't slept through the night because of this. Other symptoms as well. Doctor previously mentioned they would refer me for a scan but has since put me on antibiotics for an infection which aren't doing anything unfortunately. Did you have to ask for a scan or did she refer you? I think I might have to ask due to my age (20yo).

    Wishing you the best.

    Hi livvyn18

    My scan was booked by my Dr because of the raised ca125 test. I dont know about how Ashelz got hers. You could ask your gp if they would do the ca125 blood test x
