So, I was pre-diagnosed last month with Endo....lap is scheduled for May 22 to confirm and hopefully clean up lesions and scar tissue. This week, CDs 10-14, I've been in a lot of pain, not different than normal though. However last night and this morning there was some burning when I urinated, and this am I noticed some tiny specks of blood on my tp after I went to the bathroom.

I called my dr, but he was out. However, they recommended that I go to their affiliate walk-in clinic and have them do a urine test. So, I did, and it came back negative for an infection. The walk-in dr. then asked about 5 mintues worth of questions, felt my abdomen and proceeded to tell me that I probably didn't have endometriosis, it was probably just an overly full bowel. He sent me home with directions to use magnesium citrate to clear my bowels.

I was confused, frustrated and in tears so I called my ob's office back and talked to a nurse for about 10 minutes. She asked a lot of questions about my pain and then the Dr. on call returned my call. He told me it was ok to take the Magnesium Citrate if I wanted to, but he really didn't think my pain was being caused by bowel issues. However, he told me that I probably wouldn't sleep tonight if I did and I am supposed to be at a work function.

It's 6:30 here now and I need to be at a clean-up for a local fair grounds at 9 am. It will include supervising kids and raking, shoveling etc.

Anyone have experience with the magnesium citrate? What would you do? My gut tells me it is the endo....an overly full bowel wouldn't be causing my infertility....
