Oh Natasha I am so sorry to hear that you didn't get any answers from your op :(( 4 months seems a very long time to wait before being seen again. Maybe worth going to your gp to see if they can hurry things along? I know it is poss for them to do this as I went to my gp last Monday as still suffering a lot of pain after lap esp bladder pain and I got a letter yesterday to see gyne next Monday so maybe your gp can help and if not go to another more sympathetic gp. I really feel for you and completely understand the pain that you are in. Sending you big hugs (:-)) xx

Obviously I expect back ache and soreness after my lap but this ovary pain is even worse now iv had ultrasounds and a lap and still nothing the pain is unbearable it's so much worse than before hand same with my back! In scared to go to the doctors incase they say sorry nothing else we can do we've done everything but I'm just so worried :( now my family think I'm some form of hypochondriac when I'm not lol xxxx

You need to forget everyone else and believe in yourself and your symptoms. It's your body and you are your own expert. After I had my 1st lap I was told that the rest of my pelvis was clear after the removal of a cyst. I continued to have localised pain just as you described and luckily as I had a video of the procedure, I took it to be shown to another gynae at a specialist endometriosis centre who could see it throughout my pelvis on the video!

Sometimes we believe that our gynaes know what they are looking for, but some of them really aren't so great with endo! I should imagine photographs at least would have been taken during your lap. Could you request the photographs and seek a second opinion?

Other reasons for your pain could be ovulation pain called mittelschmerz. This typically begins at the end of your period as your ovaries begin to produce follicles and lasts until ovulation day (when it can feel like a sharp bursting sensation). After ovulation it can feel sore due to the corpus luteum that forms in the place of the follicle to sustain a potential pregnancy. I have this every month but I see it as a sign of a strong and positive ovulation!

Deep sex and bladder issues could be related to infections. You should have a vaginal swab and urine dip to test for these. If these are negative I would get those photos and seek a second opinion!
