Re: Horrible Pain During Ovulation to D

My doctor actually cut it out, my ovary was attached tby lesions to my
abdominal wall so her removed my right ovary & tube as well as the endo
that he could find. He took pictures which was nice so I could see what
was going on. Now the pain has come back about two months ago. The
same pain ( feeling like I'm in labor but no baby) and the bowel pain
(feeling like I have to use the restroom all of the time) sorry about
the details. So I'm really tired as I know a lot of women are. Any
other suggestions would be great.
