The first thing to do is to find out if you have endometriosis. Have you been sent for a scan to check for cysts or fibroids? Did your. Doctor say that he was sending you to a specialist?

It sounds like you need more information. No wonder you're worried.xx

Is there any chance you could have been pregnant? I have past fibroid whilst having a miscarriage, it's rare but not impossible. You clot sounds similar. Get a scan and apps with specialist. You need to find out hun. All the best x

Your gp will refer you to a gyneacologist consultant who will discuss your options for treatment. This may involve a larparoscopy or medication treatment. Best to find out tho x

I was in the same situation, after many times going to the doctors they finally reffered me to the Gyno, I've had scans, Swabs, urine tests, blood tests and been rushed into hospital a few times in severe pain but nothing has shown up so I'm having a lap on Tuesday to see if I have endo, I had a lap a year ago for appendicitis and they also found an 8cm dermoid cyst on my right ovary which I didn't even know was there. Its not too bad having a lap, just very sore after and swollen but no where near as bad as open surgery, let us know how you get on, x

Been there and got the t shirt love! The best thing is that your getting help and there doing something about it, I think for me after my lap was the relief of knowing I wasn't crazy! I always knew I had more than bad period pains so to get answers after so many years was a weight off my shoulder. But back to you, you need to speak with your family and boyfriend I felt better having someone to support me through it, it'll be a long process by the time you speak to your gynecologist and then get a lap but it's worth it in the end and you might get some relief from the treatment that is best for you so don't worry about it and keep it to yourself as that'll only make you feel worse! Good luck and keep us posted xx
