I too have those pains. Does it feel like you are in hard labor? Do you feel crampy before you get the pains. I had a lap also 2 times one recently in October. I did have endo, but I still get the pains and then I am crampy in the pelvis for a couple of days also. It seems like I have alot of problems with my bowel movement, sometimes constipated and sometime dirreha.
