For about the last month or so I have been feeling very bloated with occ. indigestion. Constipation with some nausea. My pants have become tight on me, with only a 2# wt. gain. I weigh 117. Anyone else ever experience this? Waiting for health ins. to kick in on new job. Any suggestions?:stone

How old are you, do you still have your ovaries? Sounds like an abd US might be called for.

I'm 50, and yes i have thought about ovarian CA. But I have no abd. pain and no increased urination.

Please get checked asap. If this is nothing serious, it will not be that expensive. On the other hand, if you wait, and it is serious, you will decrease your options significantly.

It could be something as simple as irritable bowel brought on by the stress of a new job, different hours, adjustments in the times you have available to eat, etc. But, please, don't take the chance.

Let us know how you are doing.

Could be an ovarian cyst. I'm a veteran of 3 of those puppies - the final a hysterectomy. Loooove my hystie. Definitely get checked soon.

Pain can be a late sign of ovarian Ca. Get to the Dr.

Weasel I had a total hysterectomy and agree I think it should be offered to any woman who wants it LOL.
