doesn't sound like ovc
I am guessing your symtoms sound like menopause to me ,Is your stomach bloated like you are pregnant or do you have urinary discomfort..these are a few symtoms of ca. only an exam and ct scan along with ca-125 can confirm ca. I pray to god you do not have to go through what many on this site have. keep up posted please and my prayers are with you ;;;;;val -
menopause has blood test
53 and just missing periods! I started skipping them at 47, and was out the other side of menopause by 50. Only two months is not much to be off, though. Seems like they just kind of tapered over over 6-8 months for me.
Fortunately, there's a blood test your gyn can do that will tell where you are with menopause by looking at your hormones.
The symptoms of ovarian cancer are different from what you describe, and isn't uterine and cervical cancer screening what PAPs are all about? Please don't worry so much about this...and bless your heart as you pull yourself through your first holiday season without your Mom. I'm in this forum for my Mom, who's been fighting a long time. It's tough. -
Sounds like...
I would say menopause as well....i am 35 and my periods(AFs) were what you are describing and more. I was very irregular, crampy, hot flahes, night sweats, bloated, cysts, bleeding at ovulation to my period, etc. I just had my tubes and ovaries removed (I carry the BRCA 2 Gene), glad no signs of cancer. HTH. -
