Just beginning testing - “things don't look normal”

In November of last year I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks pregnant.  I had an ultrasound to confirm baby was gone and at that ultrasound they noted a shiny spot on right ovary and corpus luteum cyst on left ovary (normal).  My Dr called and requested that I have another ultrasound in 8 weeks to check the right ovary to be sure it had gone away.  I did that on Wednesday (2 days ago).  The tech said that things did not look "normal" but not horrible either.  I am waiting for official diagnosis and report right now.  She said the spot on right ovary had grown from 7-9mm.  She also found a spot on left ovary that appears solid, ragged edged and with increased blood flow going to it.  I can't remember how large that one was.

I'd appreciate hearing your stories and advice.  I am assuming once report comes in I will be referred to a gynecological oncologist and I am wanting CA-125 and Inhibin A & B blood tests.  What else other than physical exam should I expect initially?

I am 40, have had PCOS most of my fertile life - though controlled well.  I feel great and have been making huge strides in my health over the last couple of years.  This is really throwing me for a loop!  I have 5 children, three teens and a 4yo and 2yo.  My husband of nearly 22 years is wonderfully supportive, waiting for official news but understands from what the tech was saying that this could be potentially serious and life-changing.

Waiting is hard!
