My body won't stop reminding me of my uterus.

Medical

When I started having my periods, they were PAINFUL, to the point where I was always nauseous and was missing 2-3 days of school every month ever since I was 11.

I started taking the pills to stop them and additionally because of my trans identity, but I still had random pain and it was really annoying. I went to tons of doctors, did lots of ultrasounds and MRIs and only recently they noticed some kind of mass in my uterus/pelvis but it's apparently not endometriosis (I was told "it's the same pain but not the same name)

They sent me to a gynecologist and she told me it was not normal to have pain while on the pill (no shit) but she didn't want to give me another pill because apart from some pain, I have no secondary effects and my body handles it somewhat well. She didn't want to give me something specifically for endo since I'm not diagnosed with it.

So I just have to handle it I guess. It's really fucking triggering for me and no one even tried to help, I am in a phase where I feel really bad and REALLY dysphoric and it's one of the things that make it worse.
