Hello,
I am 28 years old and have been trying off and on for I guess about a year & 1/2 - 2 years to try and have a baby.
Since I am getting older, I am starting to get afraid that this will never happen. I want to go see if there is a problem with my reproductive system. I have been told by a doctor in the past that I may have endometriosis, but no doctor ever really confirmed that. The reason they thought this is because I would have pain in my ovaries before my period. They ruled out PCOS and said it may be endometriosis.
Is it true that laparoscopic surgery is the only way to diagnos Endometriosis? I had an ultra sound about 5 years ago when they first thought I may have endo to see if they could see anything.
What would be the routine fertility tests? Blood work, check for blocked tubes? What do they check for?
How much would this cost? I have been looking for information on pricing and I find nothing online. My insurance likely will not cover this, so I am preparing myself to pay for it out of pocket
Anything else you may like to add will be considered helpful by me.
Thank you so much.
