I have been waiting 9 years for a diagnosis and I haven't had an MRI but am waiting for a possible laporoscopy but it could take months to hear back, how do I go about an MRI to maybe see if that can confirm endometriosis.

Hi everyone-

I am new to this board and have a quick question! I have extremely painful periods and my doctor wants to do laparoscopic surgery to check for endo. Every single female in my family has endo. Mother, 3 aunts, and both grandmothers... so it's definitely likely I have endo as well. My issue is that I have a high deductible insurance plan so I would have to pay around 6-8k out of my pocket for this surgery. Does anyone know if it should be that way?
