Sorry to hear you've had a bad time with doctors. If you were in Melbourne I could give you the name of my doctor who is very clever and knows his shit. I hope you find someone who's willing to do the op for you, but let me recommend private health insurance because it's going to be a corker of a bill if you don't have it, depending on the doctor.

I haven't had much pain, a bit of discomfort after I saw the specialist. Fortunately and unfortunately I was on the pill before, which both masked my symptoms and thus made my periods completely bearable. I've had one period so far off the pill and it was horrible. All this is, as life would have it, on top of PCOS too.

I really hope you get it sorted soon, it's an awful thing to have. Thanks so much for answering my questions. I've had to rely on friends for advice on this as I haven't found anything terribly useful online.

All my best for getting it sorted, Nancy.
