Exclamation Need advice....What to do now?

I am at a dead end and frusterated. Need help!
I have always had irregular periods.. so they put on BC 10 yrs ago. I got engaged and will be getting married in the spring and I've had numbness in my legs. So I decided it was time to quit my BC back in Nov. I was working a lot and it was x-mas time. I was utterly exhausted. Then in the spring I had finals and we moved in together and so I just figured I was stressed out. In May I thought I had UTI for the first time. So our first night in our place I was on the floor in so much pain on upper right side. No My lower abdominal area. So they treated me for a Kidney infection. Although the urine sample and blood work didn't say otherwise. So they said I don't know so I came back for a week everyday and they still didn't know. It was like someone was stabbing me.
So I went back to my Dr. still with the pain in my side. They did an ultrasound thinking it was my gallbladder and my ovaries are larger than Uterus. So they sent me to a new gyno. He's a jerk! His response was your fat you need to loose weight. At this point I had changed my diet to being very healthy and I was running everyday. I told him that he just said no.. you actually have to try. You aren't trying obviously. I was so upset and frusterated. I had been bleeding heavily since I was in the hospital in May. His only option he gave me was going back on the BC, even though we are TTC. He didn't think the pain I had was anything to do with my ovaries and he printed the paper off the computer and just said yeah you probably have PCOS. He just said don't worry about it. So I went back to my normal Dr. and had time to read about PCOS. I wanted treatment and to find out more about my PCOS. I was still having the pain still bleeding. So I went for a CT scan.. nothing. In this time frame of 2 weeks, I was fainting, dizzy, not eating, sleeping and having more pain. so my Dr thought I was having heart problems. So I had to wear a heart monitor for 2 weeks and the odd thing is no one will tell me the results. So they sent me for a HIDA scan of my gallbladder. Mind you I thought I was pregnant for a while because I was waking up every hour to pee and lower pain this time. So I am noticing the hair growth now and the hormone changes. Last night I had untolerable pain in my lower abdominal area in the middle I couldn't stand it. I was here alone, my soon to be hubby is out of town and I woke up on the floor, I fainted and I was completely covered in blood from the waist down. My mom took me to the ER while we were waiting to be seen I felt shaky and like I had to pee bad but I was afraid I wasn't going to make it with the pain. So I go and I passed 12 or so huge baseball size blood clots. I came back from the rest room feeling better. Not 100% but yeah.. we get in and they are like okay why are you here? I don't think any of them believed me. They had to give me a cathiedure to do a urine sample because I was bleeding so heavily though. My urine has blood in it too. They didn't want to give me any pain medicine. The nurse looked at my file and said well you've been complaining pain for a while now and everything is fine all your blood work and everything so we aren't giving you pain med. Like I was just there for the pain meds. They kept asking me are you sure you didn't do any drugs? Uh yeah.. hello help me? So they discharged me with cramps. The nurse told me not to waist their time. So I called to make an appointment today with the gyno, I don't like and he just said I was having my period.. and he would send out a Rx to increase my BC. I was so upset at this point.. I said no.. I need help! and I hung up on him. He doesn't listen and no one seems to want to help me. I am still bleeding through about 6 tampons an hour. I'm home from work..cause I bleed through everything, and I still have the pain.. even stronger today. I made an appointment with a new Gyno tomorrow outside of my network since I don't have insurance,( i'm on aid) and she better be more understanding and willing to help or i'm going to throw a fit! I already have Dr. bills that are around $8,ooo after aid. I work in a natural living store though and I am taking, Vitamin A,C,E, and Selenium to help with things.. I'm sorry this is so long. I didn't mean for it to be. :/ I just haven't found anyone yet who has felt the same way I do.. and Same symptoms. So I appreciate you listening.. if you read this!
