Regal and MrsP
i just got back from the doctor. DH was gettting the run around about SA from the military doctors. They wanted a referral from
my doctor.

My doctor was kind of confused by this whole gong show too. Now i have to get the # for the doctor my DH saw, leave a message with my Dr. so he can call DH's Dr. and get the referral going, if that makes any sense.
i apologize if this next bit is TMI...The doctor is referring me to a gynecologist for a lap. Since i've been off the pill (4 years) my periods have been come increasingly painful again. (i was put on the pill at 18 to deal with painful periods). i only ever used to have pain on CD1, but now i'm in pain for 2 days. i've always had fairly light/moderate periods but they seem to be getting heavier. i bled through a tampon and liner within a couple hours this cycle - very unusual. i've also noticed that i'm passing quarter sized clots and it hurts to go to the washroom during those 2 days. (Strangely enough, my periods are still fairly short. i only seem to have a couple days of actual flow, then by day 4 it's spotting at best)
All this coupled with my constant bloating/constipation/"IBS" makes the doctor suspect i have
endo. It's what i've been worrying about - part of me wanted to hear that all of my symptoms were normal and nothing to be concerned about. However i kind of want the lap to figure out what the hell is going on and if there is endo, clean it up. Maybe it would solve some of my intestinal woes, which would be awesome.
