    Thanks everyone for your advice and support. Your advice and kind words are appreciated.

    Its funny how after diagnosis I sort of breathed a sigh of relief but also had to try not to cry.... double dutch I know.... but after years and years of going to the doctor and feeling like a hypercondriac (spell?) its finally good to know it was not all in my head and that they were the ones misdiagnosing....

    I am off to a new specialist (that my current specialist is refering me to) real soon to check out my lap pics and work out a plan of action....

    Rainbow: If you don't mind me asking how long ago were you diagnosed? I can't certainly relate to your discription of your diagnosis. If you don't mind I might take you up on your offer and email you at some time to chat. Is this ok?

    Austrajoey: Your comments about ligament pain just turned a light bulb on for me..... I have been blessed with a beautiful daughter six years ago. During that pregnancy I was admitted to A&E for extreme pelvic pain - after much discussion amoung doctors they sent me home saying it was just normal and that it was just the normal adjustment of my body growing.... but I look back now and realise this was not the case. Could you let me know what TTC means? I am not very internet savay unfortunately and don't understand all the abreviated lingo.... thanks

    Magic: As I am extremely new to this I am not aware of what options are available which makes it very confusing.... I know, I definately don't want a full hysto and also, I don't like the sound of alot of the drugs they use to treat the symptoms with their side affects too... Do you have any advice or experiences with other forms of treatment?

    Thank you girls for replying. I am a great believer in weighing up all the options and seeking advice from others - as they have been there and often have alot of wisdom and knowlege to impart.

    I was diagnosed in March 2007, after an ultrasound in Feb.
    Certainly email me if you like, it will be good to chat.
