I think a good place to start would be to get the surgical reports from your first two laproscopies. Take those reports to a good gynecologist if you can get a recommendation for someone in your area and have them take a look at the reports. If you need a reference for a doctor you can always post here asking if anyone knows of a doc in your area, or google "Endo Docs" to get the endo victims web page. There is a patient recommended doctor list along with links to web groups for doctor recommendations. That said, there is a girl I keep in touch with from this forum who has confirmed endo, but when she had a second surgery with an excision specialist he did not find endo, but her bowels were bound with scar tissue. He biopsied the scar tissue and still did not find endo. She was exhibiting many of the same symptoms. I would be curious if a doctor who is familiar with endo would find anything in your surgical reports indicating endometriosis on your ovaries. It is possible that you have endo, but also possible that your body has responded to your previous surgeries by producing adhesions and scar tissue that are affecting your bowels and attaching your ovaries.
