Hi!
I hope you discussed your past history with your gynecologist, and I also hope that your gynecologist listened carefully and sympathetically. If you were my patient, I would strongly consider re-starting the progesterone therapy. Because you have not had intercourse, I would not feel strongly about putting you through another exam. If you could tolerate a trans ABDOMINAL ultrasound, I might consider doing that and leaving it at that. I would also want to refer you to a good therapist with a specialty in PTSD. Some wonderful progress has been made in treatment of PTSD which it seems likely that you are suffering from.
If your gynecologist insists on another exam, insist on another gynecologist!
Good luck!
Dr B
Update:
The next day I lost a couple of very large blood clots and the pain went away. I am still wondering about alternatives.
