Good luck! I know you've been struggling with this for so long...Have you tried progesterone cream or prescription strength compounded to try to shrink it?

Do you have a cyst on it? Have you had a sonogram?

I know what you mean, it took me quite a while to recover from surgery, so two weeks does sound short...have you checked out the hyster sisters? I realize it's not a hyst, but maybe they have some experience? good luck, i really hope you get relief...

are sites like this helpful?

That last link is really interesting, although it might not be your issue!

'' If you have pain in your ovaries, you should always seek treatment and diagnosis from a doctor. There can be many serious causes of ovarian pain including ectopic pregnancies, cysts and cancer. In my case my doctors were stymied over the cause of my pain, but research on my part has led me to believe now that it was caused by a deficiency of vitamin K.

My Personal Experience

Several years ago I had excruciating pain in my right ovary. I went to my doctor and who ordered a sonogram. Upon completion of the sonogram, I was told my right ovary was "plumper" than my left ovary, but that happened sometimes. Despite my severe pain, I was told I was fine and there was nothing to worry about. At one point the pain was so severe I even ended up in the emergency room, but the emergency room doctors could not find any specific cause. A doctor I saw later on said that my right ovary being plumper than the left one was a sign of ovarian cysts. He told me that that the size difference was exactly what they should have been looking out for on the sonogram results. In hindsight, I tend to think the second doctor's diagnosis was most likely the correct one. ..''
