Hi Jane,

At the time of my hyst for fibroids, they found endo all on the left side. My uterus/left ovary were both adhered to my sigmoid colon. My right ovary perfect. (This is funny because my ovulation pain from day one until now has always been from my right ovary.)

A year and a half later, my right ovary was covered in adhesions and endo. Tried to have it removed and they didn't get it all. Now I have ORS (ovarian remnant syndrome) and still have endo.

I am not sure if the endo would have got to the right side by itself or if it was helped because I hemorhagged during my hyst. I guess I will never know. The endo pain I have now is mostly on my left side. Who knows? :)

Best wishes, D.N.
