Please will someone help

The pill can help it however if it's as bad as what you say I would def ask to

Be referred to the hospital. I chose my consultant she is so supportive and just what you need. Really hope you manage to get a refer all x take care x

I've got the same symptoms as you and awaiting a laparoscopy.

It's hard work isn't it- the pain and he system!

My gp practice is very good. However, I saw a rubbish gynae in August and ended up having cautery on cervix for ectopian which since, my nurse and a second gynae told me I don't have! Think cautery made my pain worse! Had symptoms for few years tho, numerous test. Have a good gynae now and waiting for op.

I'm in that much pain and bleeding too that I rang Monday, helpless, and she is seeing me tmoz. Hope I get a quicker date for lap.

Getting a diagnosis is important is t it. You need to stamp your feet for a lap.

How are I managing the pain. I'm on cocodamol and using hot water bottle. Having a lot of time off work tho.

Find another gynaecologist immediately!! The pill wont treat endometriosis. I simply cant believe that all these years on there is still so much ignorance surrounding the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis. Every gynaecologist should be able to recognise endometriosis from a good medical history and pelvic exam. They should then confirm it with a laparoscopy and take things from there. Be assertive. Its your body and your problem. Doctors are not gods. The good ones are the ones who are able to say that they don't always know the answers. Don't ask - INSIST that you see someone who will listen to you. Don't try to self diagnose your problem that just muddies the water. If you don't feel strong enough to tackle this yourself take a supportive friend with you. Its amazing how they prick up their ears and pay more attention if there is someone else around. Ask the endometriosis society for support.

Versailles after reading that I wish you where the one coming with me. You sound like someone who's been there done that got the t-shirt and then told them where they can stick their t-shirt. I know that's what their doing to me a jr gynogolygist who left the room to see the guy that was on my appointment letter and came back to tell me how smart he was that he thinks it's this and we treat with the pill and that the mini pill I've already been on for a year is no good you don't smoke so you can take full pill, I had a melt down in sainburys yesterday trying to push the trolley I knew my eyes were red and that people knew I was crying. I'm going back to demand more help, and with the support of every one on this site I now know I'm not the first to be mugged off I'm 33 now an look and feel 63. I'm just going to have to grow a pair. Thank you so much I live in Belfast I can always pay your flights if you want to come in with me , just joking thank you so much xx

Sinead 10-

My gynae is good but still trapped in a bloody cycle lol

I went today and said pains terrible etc etc she can't move my lap forward as they aren't an emergency unit so advised A and E. She said she would put me at too of list for a cancellation tho. She said even paying private wouldn't get me seen quicker.

Went A and E and saw a very good doc again. Bloods normal pelvic area soft and she did bowel exam- normal- the doc at A and E rang gynae and between them have decided I'm not in need of emergency treatment so quickest to wait for lap with gynae. Increased pain relief and told me not to panic.

I'm sure they think it's me over reacting to "just ibs". So got to put up with pain- wait for lap which may it may not confirm endo- if it doesn't I dunno what I'm gonna do! Go crazy lol

Also chase gp for bowel referral.

Gynae doesn't seem concerned about my bleeding with bm? It mortifies me!!!

Suppose I should take peace of mind that many professionals thinks it's unlikely to be life threatening issue. I don't like uncertainty but it's life.

Wait and see.

So even when u get good professionals and stamp ur feet- I have done over and over, it's still an uphill slog. At least we all in the same boat.

January is my next appointment that's when I'm telling him the pill isn't working, but I have a feeling he's gonna try a different kind, that I don't mind I would weed if he ask me to try that, but put me on the list for a lap at least, he's a jr and I think it's to do with funding that he's gonna the cheapest options first, January is a life time away to me.
