39f. Ive had some funky on and off symptoms for the past 2 years such as painful ovulation, tender abdomen when pushing on it. I had a transvaginal ultrasound and all was clear. That stopped after a couple months. Then i started having heavier (for me) periods. Still manageable bleeding. Also came with more intense cramps, highly uncomfortable but manageable with ibuprofen. Then starting Jan of this year, a constant mild period like cramp feeling that never goes away. Gets worse while bleeding and then returns to the same constant mild "period is about to start" feeling. Had another ultrasound in Feb and was clear again. Started Slynd with little to no change. GYN is referring me to an endo specialist for a consult and possible laparoscopy. Im so afraid this may be something other than Endo..the big C? Ugh im so anxious. Can anyone relate to these symptoms?
