I am glad you got in for the ultra sound test. i would insist on the blood test asap. i hate drs, they go to school for all those years, and then tell you its all in your head. Well we know our bodies and she can go .......... find another dr after the test right away.
Hiya Andy, sounds like you need to change doctors. I had to go to three before one started taking me seriously (it's all in your head - what a bunch of baloney) - and even now, I'm still having problems with communication.
I don't know how much a CA-125 blood test costs - (it's approx. $35 smackers here in Ontario) but this is something you definitely need.
Keeping my fingers crossed that everything turns out ok for you.
PTL !! I will be praying for you.
Hugs , Terry
Thank God!!! I will be praying for you! Please keep us posted!
Andy203,

Well a little bit happier i kept phoning ultersound and now another cancellation in edmonton i got this Monday!!!!!!!Thank God.
I hope you fire her. It is just plain old bad medicine to not examine a patient. Irritable bowel is a non-diagnosis. Irritable bowel doesn't develop suddenly.
Thank you for kind words,i think the waiting game is horrible and then waiting for results will be worse.I so agree thats all they ever come up with.My docter did not even examin me,as soon as i said it she said oh thats IBS.
I am sorry you have to wait, but definitely get the ultrasound done. Here in the US, the doctors are very quick to say you have IBS. I think, besides depression, that it is their catch all diagnosis. You stay strong and demand answers!!
I know,i am living by Edmonton alberta and it is crazy trying to get an app.My app.for Dec was a cancelation. I tryed emergency and they just said wait for your app.I just don't get it.Thank you.
Hi thank you,i don't want to wait but out in alberta ultrasounds are so booked i was looking into middle January but got a cancelation date.I did not think much but all of sudden within 3 weeks all these other symptoms came so fast.I keep thinking in my head is it ovarian cancer or is the docter right and i am being crazy and it is IBS.But i feel so pregnant and definiltly like something is in there and i know for a fact i am not preganant.Thank you for listening.
Oh I get so angry that a doctor, and a woman to boot, would dismiss concerns about ovarian cancer like that. Can you try a different ultrasound place? Where are you located? How about trying the ER to get some testing done faster?
Do not wait!! A month can make a difference. If possible I would go whereever necessary to get ultrasound and bloodwork asap!!! No one knows our bodies better than we do and we know when something is not right!!!!!
