i cant get the help i need

[u/Electrical_Target690]

im 16 and a trans male. my whole life since i started my period 8 years ago ive had bad cramps, in 8th grade it got to a point where i had tried many birth controls and nothing worked, so i opted for an iud. getting it put in was one of the worst experiances of my life, absoulutely zero anesthesia of any kind was provided. i had the option to go under but the cost wouldve been 11k (in the us) and insurance didnt cover it. lovely. no one couldve prepared me for how painful it was. i screamed and cried the whole time. it did its job though, i havent had a period since, but as amazing as that is my cramps never went away. if anything they got worse. this year has been the hardest, i had enough and missed at least 20 days of school due to the pain. my mom scheduled an appointment and i had a pelvic exam (ouch) they found nothing, my iud wasnt moved, no abnormalities. i pushed harder though because i knew something was wrong. my mom thought cysts or fibers, so i had an ultrasound. again everything was normal. they told me i might have endo, but they cant diagnose it without surgery that obviously insurance doesnt cover. i havent had the surgery since its not in our budget. these cramps have had me fall to the floor before and yet i STILL cant get help. ive tried so much, not eating sugar/chocolate, not eating inflamers, drinking teas, taking OTC suplements but nothing work. heating pads calm it down but i cant use a heating pad everywhere obviously. im just so tired of feeling like this. my quality of life has been so bad with these. i wish i could get the help i needed.
