Please try not to research on the Internet......I did when I was trying to find out what I had (MS) and had all but dx myself with a brain tumor!! Nobody could understand why I was so relieved to have MS! I know it's hard not to.....but it only serves to give you anxiety.

What you have sounds like what Jappy suggested - endometreosis. My sister had it and it was very painful for her. I'm sure the doctor has to rule out everything and it just stands to reason that they'd test for everything while they're at it. If you have to research anything online start with endometreosis. I know it's nearly impossible not to look things up especially when you don't know what's going on with your body.

I'm going to try and give you a call tomorrow.....might be Tuesday......but I'm gonna call! I promise!
