Hey all! I've not being diagnosed with anything yet but the worrying is eating me alive. I've just turned 30 and I have 3 kids 10,9 & nearly 2. Sorry if nothing makes sense but my head is jumbled upStory so far.. middle of September I started with discomfort in front and back pelvic region and both legs and needing to wee more often. Gp wee sample clear but sent to the lab which also came backlear. 1 week later I had an ultrasound, letter stated trans abdo, renal, bladder and transvaginal, bladder wasn't full enough to complete the scans but kidneys looked fine and ovaries look fine aparfrom a small cyst on the right ovary. They asked me to go back the next day but I couldn't as the husband had booked us a break away for my birthday and I had already cut it short for the first scanAnyways had my scan yesterday, cyst still on the ovary but slightly smaller. Now the worrying part the sonographer said my womb lining was abit thicker than normal but said it should be thin as I'm the nexplanon implant (no measurements given) and that I'll go to a gynaecologist for more tests. Also said i might possibly have an infection in the uterus and to make sure I go for a follow up wi the GP, they would have my report in one to two days? I'm so worried, I can feel pressure up in the vagina on the right side, leg pain is now only in the right leg like a trapped nerve but I've nohad any bleeding or discharge at all. Don't really know what to expect from this post really sorry for the rambling :(
Hello kirstyb30, I'm so sorry to hear you're in such a state of high anxiety. I think it's fair to say that everyone on this forum has felt the utter panic at some point. I can't comment on your symptoms, but honestly, try not to think about it. Worrying is such a waste of your energy as it solves nothing ( pity I don't take my own advice!). Instead keep your brain busy, whether that's playing with the kids, doing sudoku or even doing the housework...that last ones a bit unlikely! At least it sounds like you might get some answers quite quickly, even if it's feeling like an eternity. Fingers crossed that you get sorted soon, x
Hello Kirstyb30
Don't worry about the rambling, we've all done it, worrying about the unknown is so debilitating. I also can't comment on your symptoms but it's very likely someone on here has had something similar & might be able to offer support. You're in the right hands. If the ultrasound has flagged up something the Gynae team will investigate further. That may include a hysteroscopy, biopsy, CT Scan & MRI Scan. It will seem like you're waiting for ever but our wonderful NHS get on the case really quickly.
It might turn out to be a UTI but don't overthink things and don't Dr Google! There's a little army of us here ready and willing to offer support and listen to you.
Best wishes, B xx

This is the worst stage, waiting for results. Concentrate on your normal life, you are stronger than you know. Once you know what you’re dealing with there will be a plan in place to deal with whatever it is. Even if it’s cancer it can be treated. Take one step at a time. Don’t waste energy worrying about scenarios. Be strong and you will cope. Good luck!
Hey all, thankyou for the comments, I hope you're all well! I was in such a state over it that my anxiety has now took a big grip on my day to day life.. so annoying not knowing if its anxiety related symptoms or so on. You see I watched my mum suffer and pass from cervical cancer then I needed abnormal cells removed from my cervix a few years ago so it's always been difficult to deal with things like this. It's so lovely to know there is support here even if it's just a rant so thankyou again.
Update.. the doctor called me yesterday to see how I was doing and to discuss my ultrasound results, there doesn't seem to be anything too alarming that requires urgent referral as such but they've advised I see the gynae as it seems there is some debris in my womb (not really sure what this is or if this is what's causing my pain) so my GP has requested advice from gynae on what the next steps are. If I've not heard anything by Tuesday I've to ring the GP for them to chase it up. Can't fault how quickly they're moving but the not knowing is torture!
