Q: Endometriosis causing pelvic pain?

Hello. I am nineteen years old and have been experiencing pelvic pain that has only continued to get worse for almost a year. I have been on birth control the whole time and have also had ovarian cysts. (Which shouldn't be occurring since I"m not ovulating...)I have seen a OBGYN and he put me on Seasonique. After three months, the cysts are gone yet my pain is as strong as ever. Everyday. I have a family history of endometriosis, but he says he HIGHLY doubts this is what is causing my pain. The pain is on both sides. I am considering getting a second opinion I just dont know what to do. He says sometimes our bodies just hurt, but this has to be a sign of something...

Don't take no for an answer! Get a second opinion. My old ob/gyn said everything looked fine on my ultrasounds and basically didn't want to help me any further, so I found a new doctor. He found fibroids in my uterus, which could be an explanation for the pain I'm in, but due to other symptoms, I suspect endometriosis... Hopefully he will suggest a laparoscopy so I can get some more answers.

Trust your body. If you know something isn't right, keep going until you get an answer. Don't give up. I tell myself that everyday.
