Scan was clear. What's the next step?

I've just got back from my utrasound scan and was told everything was fine.... it was frustrating. I ended up having a cry with my Mum saying 'I didn't want them to think I was making it up!'

What should my next step be? Thanks ladies.

My scan was clear too. I think they try to rule out other things first such as ovarian cysts etc... To be honest the only sure-fire way of diagnosing endo seems to be a Laparoscopy.

Please don't cry, just keep pushing for further investigations and I hope they sort you out soon :) xx

I had two ultrasounds which showed nothing! Finally after months of persistence with doctors visits, I had a laparoscopy done turns out I had a cyst on my ovary which wasn't found on ultrasound scans and endometriosis so I think ultrasounds aren't relevant when it comes to diagnosing something. I understand ur frustration and feeling like everyone thinking ur making it up but keep being persistent, you know ur body xxxx

My 2 scans were clear. They said there may have been a popped cyst (or may have just been ovulating!!)

They made me wait 6 months and I have next app with gyne in 3 weeks. They said I can discuss lap next time. Can't wait I'm in so much pain :(

Don't give up just keep on and they will do lap

Thank you very much everyone for replying! I will make another appointment with my doctor. I read your post about the Pouch of Douglas yesterday Lindle! Was so helpful. I might print off that post and highlight all of the simptoms I have and take it to my next appointment. Thank you all again!

All my test and scans were clear it took me about two years , and Finally i had a lap in January and I did have endo, you need to keep pushing the docs or they don't seem to bother! Perhaps get reffered to a gyne , a lap is the only 100 percent diagnosis x
