Do You Think I Have Endometriosis

Laparoscopy is the best answer for a proper diagnosis. Took me a few years of terrible pain. Doctors eventually discovered that I have deep infiltrating endo and mostly rectovaginal. After the laparoscooy the pain has definitely subsided, won't completely disappear though. All the best with your decision.

I literally had the same experience. My ultrasound came back normal as well. But my gyne told me that endo can't always be seen on an ultrasound. I haven't had a laparoscopy yet (it's been 9months) so don't get too worried about that just yet. There are other treatment options. Your gynaecologist will be your best source, so make sure they are good! :) best of luck.

Agree with above. Laproscopic surgery is the only way to get a true diagnosis. And definitely find someone who does excision and who will also take care of adhesions
