Pelvic pain scared

im 3 months post partum and had my first heavy period two weeks ago. The past two days I’ve had pelvic pressure back pain, I feel full and bloated and can hardly eat, I’m also using my bowels more.. all symptoms pointing to ovarian cancer.
I had a scan a month ago due to post partum hemorrhage and everything was clear but I’m going for another one tomorrow.

im really scared and exhausted with worry. I have a three month old to look after and not getting much sleep. I have been diagnosed with ibs after a clear colonoscopy and endoscopy a year ago. Don’t know what’s going on, I’m also a very big hypochondriac but these symptoms are real

they wouldn’t have missed ovarian cancer on your scan a month ago OP ♥️

I understand your worry, I have health anxiety too. Sometimes you just need someone with their logical head on to tell you that it’s not what you’re worrying about.

Thank you for your reply. Apparently I have a fibroid and corpus luteum cyst

Corpus luteum cysts are very common and should self resolve. I hope your fibroids don’t bother you too much x
