I'm worried about my periods

In my last post, I discussed a worrying comment made by my doctor during my appointment. She said she thought it was likely I had endometriosis or a slight chance of cancer.
A gynecologist examined my cervix and concluded that everything appeared to be normal. They recommended I undergo an ultrasound in order to be certain. I last spoke with them over a week ago, and I have yet to hear from them. I am still experiencing symptoms.
Therefore, I am worried that something more serious may be wrong, and I am eager to receive the ultrasound results.
I’m worrying more since my blood test results showed my mean corpus. Hb. Conc (MCMH) was abnormal. While looking at this, I noticed it had been abnormal since July 2018. As well as this, my Eosinophil has come back abnormal and has been since July 2018. While not being abnormal, other things have come down by at least 2.0 regarding my blood count.
Instead of reposing my symptoms I will link the post I made, but now I’m worrying more and my doctors aren’t updating me on the situation, in fact they said to me the closet appointment I could get was next month, to re-talk about it. I don’t want to go around in circles, but I don’t know what to do. Any advice.

Did the gynae at all comment about your symptoms you listed previously?.

An internal ultrasound scan will not readily detect endometriosis if it is present. The usual way endometriosis is diagnosed is via a keyhole surgery op called a laparoscopy.

Are you in the U.K.?

We had a consultation where I told them my symptoms and showed them my cycle, they then did a cervix examination and said my cervix looked normal.
I'm not sure what the ultrasound is for, and yes I'm from the uk

I have similar symptoms and have also been referred for a scan. I have been waiting for a gynaecologist for 6 months and have heard nothing, having bloods done in a few weeks and am in the waiting list for a coil to be fitted (last thing to try before hysterectomy). For me I have had these symptoms for years, I had an ablation and sterilisation 2 years ago which reduced bleeding and returned my periods to a normal ish level for a short time but now I am back to heavy long periods.
I am pretty sure I have endo but have not been offered the correct investigation surgery to diagnose. The coil is my last attempt to try and improve my symptoms. I am on long term pain killers and have been given pills to stop my next period of it doesn’t stop after 7 days (last one was 17 days long).
