I was the same. My periods actually aren't too bad due to my contraceptive pill, but I had a second lap due to lots of breakthrough bleeding and terrible stabbing pains the week after my period. DURING my period I get just light cramps and then all hell breaks loose on day 5 or so.

After my lap I had my 'period' (break from my pill) and OH MY GOD was I in agony. About 3 days before it arrived I was bent over in pain, screaming, crying, I basically felt as though I was being cut in half, worse than my pains before going on the pill. I haven't had another one since as I back to back my pill packets three at a time but hoping next time won't be so bad. My surgeon did warn me it could get worse before it got better.

I’m in exactly the same position, just a few months further down the line and now considering the additional surgery...Do you have any painkillers to help? I take naproxen which seems to help take the edge off. It’s so hard to stay positive, but I guess atleast we have the option of the additional surgery if it gets too much?

Only the paracetamol I came home with hot water bottle waiting to have the coil fitted had this before but hadt to have it taken out as it didn't work out but willing to give it another go the bloating is something else

Fingers crossed for you! Hope it helps. I find that paracetamol doesn’t even touch the pain.
