The main thing to remember is that even if the number is higher - your transvaginal ultrasound was clear. When I had a 6, I had 2 structures on my left ovary (wasn't anything) but I think you get the picture. The "picture" is worth a thousand words, much better indicator of anything versus the number.

You could relate it to bc. High CA 27/29 but clear scans is much more desirable than a low number but met spots on the scan.
