From what you say it seems your surgery is a good way off, if you have not yet seen a consultant. It would be worth going back to your GP if you are still getting pain like this every month. You might need to try different medication and/ or they might try and get your outpatient appointment speeded up. Hope you get some help soon, it’s horrible to feel like this as well as probably feeling bad about taking so much time off.

Thank you for your reply ov asked my gp numerous times to speed it up. I shouldnhave had the surgery last March but I found out I was pregnant consultant said if pregnancy failed woch it did it was ectopic to get referred straight back so it's so frustrating its literally the appointment to book the dateI can't take other pills they make me sick. Its so frustrating and on top of everything else to soo draining.
