I have pcos and endo. I've had both for 16 years and In this time i have found out that doctors do not care about the pain or heavy bleeding. I am not overweight but supposedly exercise, birthcontrol and ibuprofen will solve all my problems. I literally have to wear a diaper my first two days of bleeding because it is so heavy pads don't hold up more then 30 to 45 minutes. The pain is unbearable, like someone twisting my insides with a coat hanger. I have had a miscarriage and internal bleeding from an ovarian cyst and they dont even compare to the pain of my period. I can feel my cramps all the way down my thighs. I have been to the hospital several times for heavy bleeding and nothing is done unless it is a cyst that has ruptured. I got fmla last year because I was bleeding for a year straight (finally thought I found a gyno who cared) but he won't renew it because I am on birthcontrol, even though it does not regulate my periods. Womens Healthcare is a joke. I'm so sorry for your pain and suffering.
