calprotectin levels 157

hi just wondering if anyone has experienced these symptoms going back to February this year I stated to notice I was having bloody mucus it’s like a brown colour after every bowel movement then I was having urgency to go with lose stools and blood stomach cramps so bad back ache I went to my GP he tested for infections nothing come back normal and then my calprotectin test came back abnormal he said it’s moderately raised and to repeat the test in 2/4 weeks time but my symptoms disappeared and everything seem to went normal but last week I noticed constipation lii oh sue stools blood and all this brown mucus which terrifies me I’m so scared incase this is anything bad! I have 2 children and I’m currently pregnant 5 months spoke to the doctor again last week when it returned again and he said I need to repeat the stool test again which I have sent it of last Friday so hopefully my results will be back gastro team rang me last week and said I can’t have colonoscopy due to being pregnant I can have one after I’ve had my daughter ridiculous I’m in pain having BBC so many symptoms but yeah I can’t be seen I’m just desperate to kno what’s happening
