During my first appointment, I told about my symptoms. She asked me some questions and did a gynecological examination and transvaginal ultrasound. I was told to take oral contraceptives and naproxen for 3 months and then come back to her. She also mentioned that a laparoscopy could be necessary if it didn't work 😊 Good luck with your appointment 😄

Thank you for replying. I have written a book haha. Been on 2 different forms of birth control and living on ibrofen!! Had loads of cameras and scans so really hoping she suggests something different. I understand there's no cure for endo bit just want it confirmed- if that's what it is
