Hi Carla, I am only 5 weeks post lap. I also wrote on this forum asking the same question you did. Most people said that it would take 3 months to see what the pain will be like. I too have intense ovulation pain and am hoping for some relief. I think that we all turn for support because the doctors lead us to belief that we will be instantly well. I am sorry that your pain is still there but maybe it helps to know you are not alone in the struggle.
