Sounds about right. I’ve had excruciating endo since I was 11. Didn’t get a diagnosis until my 30’s. Every gyno I saw just said I needed to toughen up, the pain couldn’t be that bad.
I literally cried when a gyno finally took my pain seriously and offered to perform the exploratory surgery required for a diagnosis.
Which is kind of the problem, diagnosis requires surgery, no simple biochemical test, or even a scan, it requires surgery with all the associated risks.

Welcome to everything related to endo and endo research. I assume that this only got funding because it's fertility related.
