Irregular Periods and Abdominal Pain

I was wondering if anyone else is having the same or similar issues I have irregular periods and have been having pain in my abdomen uterus area for almost a year now my doctor says it's just hormones but won't check for anything else I had a 107 day period after my miscarriage in September last year and the pains won't go away there around my navel area

That. Is awful. I suspect endometriosis, absolutely. It's agregious that your doctor hasn't looked into that. Your symptoms sound just like my mom's when she had endometriosis and her doctors ignored her for so long that by the time they finally looked she had ovary tissue growing on her liver and kidneys, and it was too late to save her uterus and ovaries at all. Please, please see another doctor and keep pushing until they do the test. Have you been consulting your primary care doctor or your gynecologist?

I cannot stress heavily enough that you need to see a different doctor. What has occurred here is medical malpractice even if you don't have endometriosis - any good doctor is at least going to look into endometriosis and all other avenues before telling you you're fine. It sounds like you're not being taken seriously at all.
