    Several doc's have said "yes" to Endometriosis, or at least said "probably", but then followed it with "just take birth control pills and Ibuprofen when it hurts, and stop exercising so much, and don't call me in the morning"
    What is a PCOS? I had a transvaginal ultrasound, and he said it looked normal. It wasn't the kind with saline, just good 'ol ultrasound.

    PCOS=poly cystic ovary syndrome

    I had been on the pill for umpteen years and it really surprised my GYN when he discovered I had numerous cysts and masses on my plumbing. Cripes! I'm no doctor, but edometriosis sure comes to mind. Is there any chance you could talk to a lady OB/GYN doc--someone who knows what it's like? I mean, these male OB GYN can only check what's under the hood.

    I don't know the brand of the high vis trailer, but I've seen them in most bike shops. I don't have any skinkids--just furkids.

    REI carries a nice selection of kid trailers.

    As for bike trailers, just google it, you get tons of results.

    And as for the gyno doc, I would nevah evah have a male doctor. Find a woman.
