First laparoscopy

Hello, I’m new here and have my appointment Friday to see a new gynaecologist as my original gynaecologist seemed useless and just kept telling me to go on birth control and it’ll get better once I have a baby. Trouble is I’ve not been taking contraception for 7 years and had my first pregnancy in April this year but it ended in a chemical miscarriage. I haven’t been back to see her since as I felt like I was getting nowhere with her. I then went on to read horrific reviews about her online hence the new appointment with another gynaecologist this Friday. The next step for me is a laparoscopy to see if I have endometriosis as I experience painful periods, constant bowel movement for the first day or two, painful legs and pelvic pain and occasionally I have pain during sex. My periods are regular, give or take a few days either side, I’m very anxious about the laparoscopy. Does this sound like I have endometriosis to you?? I know we’re not medical experts here but your comments would be appreciated. I’m 27 x
