I am a 26 yr old women who just had my left ovary and fallopian tube removed! When the doctor took it out she said it should have been done years ago she said she did not want to take the right one if we didn’t have to because I am so young. That was 3 weeks ago today and the pain on the right side it so bad that I know I have to call and go back. I always knew that I wanted to adopt but the realization that I may never be able to have children is terrifying to me. I suffer from depression and anxiety to begin with and I just don’t know how do process and deal with this. Published: September 10 ::

I experience the worst pain during and after intimacy the pain is sharp and deep I can feel it in my abdomen in my lower back and sometimes in my rectum. From there the pain shoots up and I can not walk I end of in the fetal position for hours until the pain subsides enough for me to move. I have had a fibroid removed 8 months ago and these pains have gotten worse since. I am in the process of speaking with my Doctor about my options. I am 30 years old and this is affecting my love live I have to avoid or turn down sex in fear of the onset of pain that will follow if I do engage myself. Published: September 10 ::

I am 43 and my pain is severe at the onset of my period and will last through day four or five. I have loose stools and I had a difficult time controlling my bladder. I have three good weeks per month but, suffer dearly for five to seven days. Four Advil every three to four hours helps but it’s not good on the stomach. I have been to several doctors who all say the same thing -- that outside of strong drugs with bad side effects or hysterectomy, there is not much more they can do. I continue to wait for a cure :) Published: November 05 ::
