Have you contacted someone like the CEC for a free records review? They
can help
centerforendo.com
soooo many ob/gyns and re's don't have the skill to help women with
endo, they don't know where the locations and stages are and don't have
the skill to remove endo from very delicate areas
also, natural family care docs can help women achieve pregnancy
fertilitycare.org
naprotechnology.com
sometimes hormonal issues can contribute
the CEC was able remove my ton of adhesions, it's almost an every day
thing for them!
natural progesterone helped me with my monthly
migraines....johnleemd.com has some info, but natural fertility docs
also work with it
you might also try searching for a naturopath
