I just wanted to make a comment on your search for a more understanding, sympathetic, woman, doctor. Although I wish you luck on your search don’t be surprised if even a woman doctor does not give you the sympathy you need. My endo is not too sympathetic on the emotional issues either and made it very clear that he was only there to answer my “technical” questions. But I am lucky enough to have very supportive family members and friends. What I want to do is share my experience in searching for a woman gyno. I have had many problems with ovarian cysts and such and was tired of the men doctors being so cold about the fact that I have not had children yet and worry about it alot…so I found a female gyno hoping to get some sympathy thinking since she is a woman she would understand what I was going through…my concerns and self-pity and such…let’s just say…WRONG!!!!!!! She was colder, and more “professional” than the men were. So, even though this was my outcome, I do hope your’s is better, but please don’t assume a woman will better understand you. Just a warning.
