diagnosis help!!!

[Frankie212]

hi!

I had my first specialist appointment recently and had another set of ultrasounds, and visual checks.

They can not see anything visually wrong but mentioned the possibility of it being endometriosis due to symptoms but will not confirm this. Apparently the op (lap…) could make things worse?

Due to having a previous blot clot, I have been told my only option is the coil, and continue with pain killers….

I have personally always been against the coil and really didn’t want to be taking the pill again but settled a year ago that I would have to.

Is there other options? I want to know what I’m treating and have a diagnosis? Endo wasn’t even mentioned on my letter following the appointment.

Hi Frankie212 ! It's good to hear that you are up to date with appointments and things are moving forward.

Please know, you always have options. Is the coil and pill helping again, but you are still experiencing the same symptoms? Or do you feel that these are your only options?

In the meantime, you have previously asked for tips to help and for questions you should/could be asking the medical experts...put us to the test, make it specific and open it up to the forum...
