Hey hun,

I had many of the same symptoms - the most prominent one being painful sex and cramping throughout the month. I was diagnosed with a bad case of thrush too and given an ointment and told to try that for three months. Well it didn't work so I went to see a different gynaecologist when I noticed I was getting sharp pains on my left ovary and a "twitching" feeling down there. He has referred me for a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy as well as dye studies on 21st November. He is 99% sure it is endometriosis. A laparoscopy is the only way they can test for endo, unless you suspect there is some on your ovaries in which case it may show up on an u/sound.

I also get pain when going to the toilet - the GYN said it is most likely "adhesions" which are part of endometriosis which literally stick to your bowel or bladder which is why is can be painful.

Go and visit a gynaecologist and take a list of your symptoms with you. I'm scared about the lap too but I know it will give me some definite answers and a treatment plan.

Good luck and let us know how you go
