See your doctor again. You might need a little D & C op, which's nothing to worry about.

sorry forbeing dumb but whats a d and c ?? ive had blood tests and scans on my ovaries ?

as Ice.Maiden wasn't able to get back to you just to explain that a d&c stands for dilation and curettage (I think) where they scrape out the lining of the womb - bit like a 'de-coke' for a car! Nothing to worry about if you have it done

Have you seen a specialist? If you can afford it I would see a gynaecologist privately. I have found that when I have had health problems that my GP fails to sort out, paying for a consultation has always got me the treatment I need.

I have seen someone once, then when he recommended a laparoscopy, I asked if that was available on the NHS and didn't have to pay beyond the first consultation.

Have you spoken to your doc about pcos - I don't want to freak you out, sounds like you are anxious enough but some of the symptoms are similar to polycystic ovary syndrome - I had a friend who has recently diagnosed and it took the doctors ages to detect it. I'm in no way a professional at this, but maybe it's one to get checked??

How old are you?

hello there. please please go back to your doctor and INSIST you see a specialist. it is not good enough that the docor cannot find a reason, he or she needs to find someone who CAN. I am sure this is nothing to worry about , but you need to get some peace of mind and an answer to what is clearly not a normal pattern.

my friend felt uncomfortable with her breasts and insisted on no less than 3 scans, on which the 3rd one revealed a growth which was then removed within 48 hours, I am not saying you have such a problem but what i am saying is, LISTEN to your body and if you feel something is out of sorts, PERSIST until you get an answer, You know your body best.
