Hi Cobysmummy, through my own experience it was very hard to get any Dr to take my symptoms seriously and i went undiagnosed for about 7 years which led to me having severe intestinal endometrisois. I had a double bowel re section (40cm taken out) an endo nodule removed from my rectum which required a portion of rectum to be reomved, my appendix out, Right tube, and endo removed from bladder and POD. I too was told I had IBS for many years which i think is a generic label when they cant figure out whats wrong!

I definitely suggest reading up on endo and going and discussing your concerns with your Dr. tell them all your symptoms and taht you want to rule out endo as you are TTC and suffer from alot of associated symptoms.

Good Luck
