I am very new to this site and am pretty convinced that I have endo. I have suffered from painful periods since the age of 13 and I am now 27. In the beginning
my Doctor prescribed the pill for me but had to come off this because it caused bad migranes. Ever since I really have just suffered through the painful
periods and the pain I have during sex. Recently though I think things have gotten worse, the pain seems more severe and now seems to last for much longer, I

I&#39;d like to apologise now for the long post but i wanted to fill in the background.

My periods started at an average kind of age and were for the first few months pain free and reliable, then the pain hit. At school the pain would just hit
really quickly and it was a common occurance for teachers to find me sat in the corridor just rocking with pain as i knew i&#39;d pass out if i tried to stand
up, so i&#39;d get carried to the nurses office until my mum came to... ]]></description>

the waiting times are there to see the consultant and then to actually have a laproscopy? Alternatively - what do you think it would cost to go private?
