Thanks for replying to me Chris. I had a sonohystagraph (SHG) done on
march 1, but doc said it was clear of polyps. He had mentioned
endometriosis last year, but never went back to that diagnosis or even
any tests for that. He actually said I was too young for it (which we
know is a lie). But I will be seeing a new doc in about 3 weeks so
hoping for some answers then.
