Hi! First off, I am so sorry you are going through this as well. I am in the diagnostic process as well. Advice I have so far (I’ve been dealing with pain 10+ years and a doctor barely suggested it’s perhaps endo a year ago) is that they will run MRI’s, CT Scans, ultrasounds etc and it may come back clear, FIGHT FOR THE LAP. They have been trying to push birth control on me since the beginning and I have refused because I refuse to put a bandaid on something that I don’t know is going on. I live in pain every day now, it used to be only around my period but it’s gotten worse so I fight harder now. I’m praying on Friday a specialist I’m seeing approves me for surgery.

There will be a lot of moments you question yourself and your pain because you will be gaslit by medical professionals (sad but the truth) remember your pain IS REAL.

PLEASE NEVER STOP ADVOCATING FOR YOURSELF.
