I dont know why they want you to be on the pill for 3 months before they refer you!! i say keep pestering them and make an appointment ASAP. Tell them that the pill is not helping with the symptoms and that the pain is starting to effect your everyday life and that you demand to be reffered to a GYN. You also need to ask them for something to control the pain as paractamol is like water to most of us! There is something call buscapan, which releases the stomach and pelvic muscles just relaxing them ask about something like that as some pain meds are addictive so that is probably why they dont want to put you on anything too strong but the GP CAN give stronger things then paracetamnol and there are loads of different kinds of meds out there they can try....be persistant with your GP and if worse comes to worse go to A&E (i did when i wasnt getting anywhere with my GP) and tell them that you are haing terrible tummy and pelvic pains thats the fastest way to get reffered to a GYN as the hospital will have one on call then have you come in for a check up with them...if you need any help i'm always here with an open ear...good luck hun!! xx
