Tough to do anything with such a short lived pain. With complaints such
as this, it can be helpful to prevent ovulation and inhibit chemicals
which may be causing the pain. Unfortunately, after a tubal the last
thing anyone wants to hear is that the pill may help with something but
that's worth a try to see if you can reduce or eliminate the pain.
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
