need advice on communicating with doctors. periods are heavy, clots make tampons ineffective, then lighten for 20 days

obgyn Time to talk about novasure. gave me pills to stop my period, did pap, endo biopsy, and transvaginal ultrasound & blood work -- everything ok.

I wanted the doctor to do something before an insurance change, So I did everything to get an appointment, wanted to ask him for a D & C because of fertility & figured don't do novasure now.

I couldn't get an appointment so I by passed the appointment desk & went to the surgical desk & told them to schedule me for something I haven't been able to talk to the MD, I need to do somthing, She said she did, but didn't get a call from the nurse to see if Dr. agreed. told her I really need to talk to him. He did call & told me, a d&c isn't my answer so he won't do it

I did explain the insurance thing he forgave me

Then I stopped urinating, so to a urologist --drained me & gave me an in & out chart to do & stool softener & ordered a spine ct scan

family MD ordered another transvaginal ultrasound, told to drink for the test they but I'm not peeing -- I was in so much pain, I stopped & cancelled went up to the urolgist's floor ), I was crying showed him the in & out chart-- he drained me & put a bag on me and said i wanted to do this to you the other day but you didn't want it.

What's wrong with me- I misunderstand everything- I didn't realize he wanted a bag on me-- I just thought we were talking options. during follow up learned to catheterize myself

Back to addressing my heavy periods & I noticed a dull ache --left side, & an intense pain meant I'm passing a clot. told Dr. I want a pelvic exam. I can feel pain when pressing my pelvis-- I'm thinking they can feel it on the inside, he couldn't

My family Dr said - do the ct scan & gastro DR. At this time I had bleeding problems & told him I'd like an obgyn to check--so he refered me to a new obgyn. I wrote a letter with details, he did a pelvic & said you have a hernia -- go see a surgeon.

the surgeon appt, surgeon said --- I'm not saying it's not there it's just I cant' feel it. now I'm scheduled for a CT Scan.

I don't know what I'm doing. Any advice on handling all this???? one forum even kicked me off for too many questions. Do you wonder why???

What will a ct scan show, female problems? hernia? Bowel problems? everything?

thanks Diane
