Bit of background: I am 29 years old, have PCOS and managed to conceive my son 10 months ago following fertility treatment. I used to only get periods yearly but since my son I have had more regular periods (strangely) though they have now disappeared again. I do not want any more children due to severe PND and the journey I've had.
Since having my son I have had pelvic pain on and off, sometimes stabbing pain on either side, but mostly a burning sensation across my pelvic are.
One period was stabbing pains instead of stomach cramps.
I ignored it for 7 months as I did not want hospital treatment due to a traumatic birth but finally went. I had blood tests and one of them, CA125 (can be raised due to ovarian tumors), was raised. Normal is 0-35, mine was 53. I had an urgent ultrasound scan which showed bulky ovaries but no tumour. Now I am awaiting another blood test to see if I need further investigations.
Has anyone else had a raised CA125? I have PND and on antidepressants and the physical pain and mental anguish is pushing me to the edge.
Thank you for any replies.
