Hi Anne, I know what you are feeling I had the same pains..and still do. I found out that I have Endometriosis through a surgery I was having done to remove a cyst. It wasn't a lap. I hear alot of women with endo have them. I wasn't being checked for endo..The doctor told before my surgery that he didn't think I would have it..but sure enough he cut me open and there is was..he had to take part of my left ovary because of it. Your pains sound the same way mine do and probably for alot of the women here. I would talk to your doctor about checking you for endo because it does sound alot like it. Keep in touch and let us konw..I hope everything turns out ok and god bless you Jean
