Robin, Sounds very simalar to my problems. I had the CA-125 test done yesterday, and I was told it is to screen me for ovarian cancer, or possible endemetriosis. You may want to look into endemetriosis, as it is often misdiagnosed as other abdominal problems. I'm not a Dr., but going throught something similar right now.
