I've had recurrent abnormal discharge with slight smell for years, i have lower pelvic pain that radiates to my lower back only around the time of ovualtion though, also deep pain during sex when im ovualting.. ive had blood tests , urine test and also tested for bv, all was normal except I had a uti.. i had antibiotics for the uti which cleared up the abnormal discharge????! But I still have the same pain during ovulation.. The dr seems to think it can't be pid and has sent me to a gyno for further testing.. could I still have pid without having it showing on my white blood cell count ?

All of your symptoms sound identical to mine, I didn't even know this was s thing until I went for a laparoscopy and the surgeon said there was no PID found. Maybe the symptoms could be caused by something else we've both not found yet!? x

I had ultrasounds and transvaginal scans like three years ago and then nothing since my lap in November because I was told it was endo til my lap was negative, then I was told I was imagining it all or it was my bowels but I'd never even heard of PID til he said there was none found x

As far as symptoms are concerned, just really swollen labia, unusual discharge, incredibly painful sex, bad pain on my right side which I was told was bowels and just internal pain that spreads into my groin and leg x

When I presented to my Dr with my symptoms he said endometritis! I then had tests and went back for my results and I asked him if endometritis was the same as pid! He then looked at my test results and asked me who told me I had endometritis, i replied you did!! He then said i didnt have it because my results were all normal???!!! Like you, i didnt know what pid was either.. i know i shouldn't have but I have googled this and everything I come across contradicts everything I've just read .. you are imagining your symptoms ? That's a bit harsh , if your symptoms are really like it's pretty hard to imagine this !!! The pain I have around ovualtion lasts for about 2 to 3 days and it hurts to even walk around !!!! The pain during sex feels like tmi but my vagina is being stabbed!!!

My pain like you starts on my right side always but then radiates across my pelvis and back But only around 3 days of when im ovualting? Is there a certain time when you feel the pain on your right side and sex ??

I have pelvic pain too. I was diagnosed with mild PID. Now I feel terrified because of possibility of having complications with fertility. I do not have children yet of my own. Sometimes when my pelvic hurts there is brownish thing that is coming out I think it was an old blood. guys have you heard about mittleschmerz maybe that is what you hvae guys. You all lucky because your tests were normal
