I went through many drs and i can be very persistant, especially when i am in pain. Ive also learned to be my own advocate. I am very fortunate that for the past 6 years i have an amazing dr. She listens and does everything possible to make sure i am well and taken care.of when needed. I am not one to cry, but this dr has seen me at my worst and everytime i see her the first thing she does is give me a hug. I dont really have a straight solid answer on how to get a dr to listen. I think unfortunately its more a matter of finding a dr that trully knows and understands what endo is. Then they r willing to help.

I'm with u too. I've seen 4 different doctors within the last 4yrs. And can't seem to find one that cares or listen. Had my right ovary removed in 2013 because of damage from a 7cm cyst that would not go away. I can't take birth control because of chronic migraines. After I had my son in 2014 my menstrual cycles were so very heavy and would last 7 to 15 days. Very painful cramps and couldn't care for my kids. I was admitted to the hospital because I bleed for 6 1/2 weeks straight.
