Hi. You answered my post several days ago, and I thank you. I had kind of given up and had not checked for a while, thats why it has taken me so long to write back. My doc feels fairly confident that my problem is endo. I asked her for a CA-125 test and she said with endo it would come back abnormal, causing me undue concern. She has done two very thourogh vaginal and rectal exams in the last two years and said that my ovaries were "perfect". I have a vaginal ultrasound on July 5th. I am scared to death. I suffer from mainly constipation, and this ache pretty much all over my abdomon. This is not constant, and it goes away when I take something for gas. I have actually gained weight since my doc put me on a progesterone only BC pill to help with the endo. I hated the side effects and have just gone off of it. My periods are not irregular. My lower back aches and my hips ache and sometimes the ache runs down the backs of my legs. I am at very low risk. I am 34, four kids, breastfed them all and was on the pill for four years before having my first baby. No one in my family has had any kind of cancer at all (knock on wood!!). Thanks again for your advice. I will welcome any other advice you may have. Janet
