I'M 22 YEARS OLD AND HAVE A CRAZY GYN HISTORY. I HAVE HAD THREE ECTOPICS, ONE MISCARIAGE, AND TWO SALPINGJECTOMY'S. I WAS TOLD I HAVE A MILD BICORNATE AND RETROFLEXED UTERUS. I ALSO HAD A LEEP TWO MONTHS AGO FOR DYSPLASIA. FOR 10 MONTHS NOW I HAVE HAD LOWER LEFT SIDE PELVIC PAIN NEAR MY OVARY. IT ALL STARTED ABOUT FIVE MONTHS AFTER MY LAST SALPIN. THE PAIN FELLS AS IF I'M PREGNANT AND MY UTERUS IS PULLING ON THE LEFT SIDE. IT'S VERY CONSISTANT AND ALL THROUGH OUT THE MONTH. SOMETIMES IT'S SO UNCOMFORTABLE THAT I CAN NOT EVEN HAVE SEX. TWICE THE PAIN WAS SO SEVERE IT SENT ME TO THE E.R. I WENT TO MY GYN AND HE DID A PELVIC WHICH I HAVE HAD NUMEROUSE TIMES AND DOC FOUND NOTHING. MY DOC SAID HE FELT A MASS ON MY OVARY. I WENT TO HAVE A U/S AND THEY SAID MY LEFT OVARY WAS 3.5CM AND RIGHT 3.8CM THE DOC SAID THATS NORMAL, THEY SAID IT DID APPEAR THOUGH THAT MY UTERUS TILTED TO THE LEFT AND AS IF MY OVARY WAS CONNECTING TO MY UTERUS ON THAT SIDE. HE SAID IT COULD BE SCARR TISSUE BUT DID NOT DISCUSS ANY RESOLUTION TO THE PAIN. I HAVE HAD MANY U/S AND EVEN HAVE PICTURES OF MY REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS AND MY UTERUS NEVER TILTED TO THE LEFT BEFORE. I ASKED THE DOC WHAT IT WAS HE FELT ON MY OVARY SINCE THE U/S WAS CONSIDERED NORMAL. HE SAID (WELL I COULD HAVE JUST BEEN FEELING YOUR OVARY)!! I AM VERY SKEPTICAL ABOUT THIS DOC NOW. HE HAS 35 YRS EXPERIENCE AND HE CAN NOT TELL THE DIFF BETWEEN THE SIZE OF A OVARY AND A MASS??? I'M CONFUSED. WELL TO GET TO MY POINT. MY MOTHER JUST HAD A HISTORECTOMY, THEY FOUND A TUMOR ON HER OVARY THE SIZE 9.5CM LONG 4.0CM WIDE, THREE BASEBALL SIZE FIBROIDS IN HER UTERUS GIVING HER THE APPEARANCE OF A 6 MONTH PREGNANT WOMAN, AND ENDOMETRIOSIS. SHE WENT TEN YEARS WITHOUT A DOC SAYING, YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR STOMACH LOOKS AWFULLY BIG LETS FIND OUT WHATS GOING ON?? INSTEAD THEY INSISTED IT WAS MASSIVE SCARR TISSUE. SO SIX WEEKS LATER MY 20 YR OLD SISTER WAS SENT TO THR E.R WITH SEVERE PELVIC PAIN THEY FOUND A TUMOR THE SIZE 6.5CM LONG 4.0 CM WIDE, AND IF THAT IS NOT SCARRY ENOUGH, TWO WEEKS LATER MY 15 YR OLD SISTER WENT TO THE DOC TO HAVE A U/S AND SHE HAS A MASS ON HER OVARY THE SIZE 4.5 CM LONG AND 3.5 CM WIDE. ALL OF US HAD THE SAME SYMPTOMS YET NO DOC CAN GIVE ME ANY ANSWERS!! I FEEL LIKE I'M BEING IGNORED BECAUSE THE DOC'S CANT SEEM TO FIND A ANSWER TO MY PROBLEM. I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT A YEAR BEFORE THIS I HAD PAIN SIMULAR AND DOC'S IGNORED ME FOR THREE MONTHS AND FINALLY DID A LAP TO FIND OUT I HAD HYDROSALPHINX IN MY LEFT TUBE WITH A ECTOPIC AS WELL. SO PLEASE CAN SOME ONE TELL ME I'M NOT CRAZY AND GIVE ME SOME ADVISE?

THANKS SORRY SO LONG.
