Hi All, really don't know whether this should be here or in health. I have been having incredibly painful periods for years and years. I have been given strong painkillers that don't touch the pain. I had a scan last year (both abdominal and infra-vaginal) and they found nothing to suggest fibroids or endo. I've been doing some research however that suggests the only way to diagnose endo is by laparoscopy.
I'm so so fed up of the pain every month (I can't work or move, feel sick and faint etc) that I'm wondering about asking for the procedure.
Secondary is that we are currently ttc and are on 7th cycle. While I understand that is by no means a long time, I'm now thinking should I ask for the laparoscopy? Regardless of the ttc issue I'm just so sick of the pain. I know they don't usually investigate until you have been ttc for a year but it isn't just the fertility issue it's the pain too.
Has anyone else got experience in this area?
