Anyone, please, have any relevant experience?!
Brief outline: almost 46. Regular periods. Intense, awful pain mid cycle, and half the time during my period also. Started to notice I'm permanently exhausted, I mean bone weary, forgetful, funny digestive habits chopping and changing.
My mother died of ovarian cancer 12 months ago.
I went to GP today who sent me for urgent ultrasound. We hoped perhaps benign ovarian cyst.
Radiographer could not find my ovaries!! Experienced man coming up to retirement, poked and prodded, did an internal ultrasound also. Nothing.
My b@#$%y doctor now on leave till Tuesday.
Anyone else unexpectedly lost their ovaries?
I don't know what to think. I'm a bit shaken up to be honest.
Results will be at surgery by tonight so maybe I should try to get in with another GP tomorrow.

Sorry didn’t see your latest post Grand. Re the CA125 - a high reading might mean ovarian( or another gynae ) cancer but could be elevated because of a benign condition - such as fibroids, endometriosis , benign ovarian tumours etc. However, a low level is not an all clear as the cancer may be in an early stage. But as you are now urgently referred to a gynaecologist as you say you can discuss all this with him. Will send you a PM
