Make sure you see another doctor - do you have an ob/gyn? I've had many doctors dismiss my symptoms only to find that I had a large endometrioma on my right ovary!! This disease is real. have you been diagnosed with a lap? See if you can find an ob/gyn in your area who is good and get them to do a diagnostic lap. Do you have health insurance? If not, a lot of states have a plan where you can qualify for free health insurance if you make under a certain amount of money. Keep fighting for yourself - your worth it!! God bless,
