Referred for an ultra sound

Morning all.

just had an ultra sound scan after being referred by my GP. As expected nothing to be seen, but the doctor that did the scan told me I need a referral to see a gyne.

I suffered my entire adult life with terrible period pain, back pain, stabbing pains up my bottom, fatigue, terrible pmt.

I am 34 and am lucky to have two children, I really struggled to conceive number two. I was referred for some investigations but fell pregnant and everything stopped. I felt that because I had managed to have children most gp's just think get on with it and stop moaning.

Anyway my current surgery I have been with for 18 months, and I have changed my pill 3 times to try and

Control my symptoms. Two doctors at the surgery said they think I have endo. But if the pill can control symptoms there is no reason to do Anything else. My concern is That in the last few years I experience bleeding from my bottom just before my cycle , and more and more I experience pain and bleeding During sex.

The docs want me to have a coil fitted but I am so worried about having one fitted still not knowing if I have endo it not.

My surgery called to say my scan was all clear so I needed to do nothing, but I asked to see a doctor again as I am going to ask for a referral.

I understand you can get endo on the bowel and I worry that could be why I bleed from bottom, but also worry about just doing nothing as long term what damage is being done??!!

Sorry for long rant. Am I doing the right thing. I am just so fed up and exhausted now with the whole thing. I just want to know one way or the other. I don't want to have to take the pill forever as I am at increased risk of breast cancer as we have the gene in our family so continual hormones are not ideal, but I can't come off as the pain is unbearable, but my cycle is so unpredictable too.

😁😁😁😁😁😁 I just want to scream
