I have been worried more recently about ovarian cancer. I have done quite a bit of reserach and there are numerous factors for why someone could aquire or would not aquire ovarian cancer.
About a year ago I was on birth control for about a year or so. I have been off birth control for a year because I did not want to spend money on it and sort of just wanted my body to go back to normal.
Of course my periods have gone out of wack now that I have been off the birth control. They are about 45 day cycles instead of the normal 28 day cycle. I know that abnormal mentrual cycles could be a problem with ovarian cancer. That is my one sign.
I also find myself with some slight cramps and pains in the lower abs through the month and occasional indigestion with embarressing (stomach aches which lead to the bathroom) and not puke. If you know what I mean. Are having these stomach aches, abnormaly long period cycles and some ab pains enough to go through all those tests for ovarian cancer

If you feel you need to check then go do it, and not debate. Its better to be safe and look a little stupid, rather than sorry and look well dead.
Any of the cancers aren't something to be messed with, especially ovarian cancer. Talk to you doctor about it, and he will more than likely do a papsmear etc to find out what is going on. Normally they do that if your pap comes back positive for something.

i dont think it sounds like it. you should never have to be worried about getting cancer if you have a PAP SMEAR done every 1-2 yrs .go see a doc and remember PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN A CURE..good luck and i hope its not cancer for your sake..

get a pap test once a year, they check for enlargement of your ovaries at that time.

You have enough symptoms that you need to see your gynecologist let her or him decide what to test for.
