Ca 125 levels upto 35 are considered normal Yours is borderline. This is because of endometrioses. You can take Novelin this month, but Dinogest would be preferred

Raised ca 125 can indicate a cancerous change which can occur in cysts. Your level is just at the upper level (0-35) which can happen in endometriosis and doesn't show so as of now take the medicine prescribed and further treatment will be decided based on the shrinking or increase of the cyst.

It's not cancer. Even in endometriosis ca 125 is raised.
