Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Weight Loss / Venting need some advice

I hate to repeat myself, but I feel I need to recap because I posted this stuff so long ago. I had gotten down to 125lbs (30 because I wanted 15 from IBS & thyroid problems). My doctor & I are working on the thyroid issue, trying to get my thyroid levels right. I had been doing real well with my weight maintaining between 125-130. I have settled down with my eating and I do cheat at times. I have stopped eating soy products because of the effects of soy with my thyroid/synthroid & have gone back to having a little no-fat dairy. I do think that I am going to have to rethink that, but thats another story. Anyway, last week was my time of the month & of course munchie time:) so I figured I would have gained a couple of pounds. I know I weighed myself a couple of times last week (I have been very diligent keeping track of my weight, I do not want to lose any more), so Tues I went to weigh myself & I have lost 6 lbs. I just don't know how. I did have a bout of d on Mon. Just one. Could that have done it? That was my vent.
Here is where I need your advice. I was reading the symptons of Ovarian cancer & they sound just like what I am going through, but of course they.
I have not been tested for Ovarian Cancer for the following reasons: I had an ovary scan last summer & everything was fine (I was having bladder issues) & a Pap Smear in Dec. Can I have my GP run the blood test? I know to get into my Gyno is probably going to take a couple of weeks, so if I can get my GP to run the tests it would be great. What do you all think about this? Do I need to get the test done? I'm sure my weight loss issue has to do with the whole thyroid issue. I go back to my GP on Friday.
