- Ultrasounds frequently miss endometriosis — so you're right to push further
- A laparoscopy is currently the gold standard for diagnosis, so pursuing that consult is the right move
- Keep a detailed symptom diary to bring to appointments — timing, severity, triggers Advocate loudly for yourself

- If a doctor dismisses your pain, it's okay to seek another opinion
- Bring notes, articles, or books to appointments — being informed helps doctors take you more seriously

A strong team can include:

- A hormone specialist if needed

Research shows combining treatments from different specialties leads to better outcomes. Be open and honest with your doctors about what's working and what isn't — including how Natazia and Myfembree are making you feel. Open communication really does shape the quality of care you receive.
