April 23 I had Laprasocopy for Endo & PCOS and am still spotting/bleeding on Aug 15. This has gone on non-stop w/ exception of of 8 days (once for 5 days and another for 3 days). Lapro included D&C, endo removal (& biopsy), cervical ablation. Was on BC (Yaz) prior as well as Estradiol 2 mg and continued both after lapro as directed. Slight/No pain 1st week of surgery, 2nd week severe pain/severe cramping/daily bleeding(not severe). Continued until Dr finally told me at the end of May to double up on Yaz. After 10 days of 2x, 5 days of normality, then it was time for period. Stopped pills for 7 days - as this is my usual cycle length (As directed by Dr since do 2 month cycles). Very Painful period. After 7 days went back on Yaz 1x daily (Dr told me 2x only long enough to stop bleeding and have normal period). Started cramping and spotting - more than "spotting" but less than full blown period, more like light period. Went back to dr. told me to double up again. Sought 2nd opinion as this was now mid-June, did ultrasound, told me to double up Yaz. Doubled up, after a few days had 3 days w/o bleeding, then started again. Since then, whether during "off" days or on 2x have continual cramping and bleeding every day. Cramping subsided in June down to OTC instead of RX levels. But still daily.

Have been to 2 obgyn's and endocrinologist. Endocrinologist is sending me to Reproductive Endo specialist but told me it may be 2-3 months before I get appt. ..I can't imagine bleeding like this for another 3 months waiting for appt.

My question - I feel like the Dr's are not taking this as seriously as I am. It has caused numerous problems (medical & personal). Am I being unreasonable in trying to find a solution sooner, rather than later, and thinking that Dr's should too?

I know this was a long post. To those who made it through, thank you! I've tried doing research online etc, to find similar problems - but I couldn't find any having to do with prolonged bleeding & Laprascopy. I would be truly grateful for any thoughts or feedback you may have.
