======== I did what the family doctor asked & called my obgyn asked about the birth control thing & I told her I didn't want to get on the pill.

She said the obgyn doesn't want me on the pill, He did exploratory during the novasure & tubal & he assures me the pain is not due to my any part of my ovaries or female parts. She told me just to seek help through the gastro doctor.

If I believe my family doctor over him, he will give me a birth control prescription as a trial but he's sure it will not be of any benefit.

It's my call, He said go see the gastro doctor.

My gastro appointment is march 27th till then it's pain pills.

I really wish these two would talk amongst themselves, They are educated about health issues & terms. Me acting as a go between-- I just feel so stupid & like I'm annoying them. I just wish I wasn't so sick.

thanks for your help diane >
