Im 42 atm and in my 20s omg did i go thru the works..... it was a cyclic pain but it turned out i had gallstones (from the pill) had the gall bladder removed but months later the pain was there again... it was very cyclic but as i was so irregular with periods i didnt put two and two together.... they Alfred Hospital dr wanted me to have a colonscopy and i refused as i said im sure it is gynae...so they refered me on to Dr Lutjen who did my first lap and found the choc cysts but nothing else.... After that lap back in 2006 i felt 100% better....
jump to 2011/2012 and recently the period were bad (and i wasnt on the pill) and only recently since Sept last year i have had 4 ed admissions and one 2 night stay with AF for pain control.....
The pain is weird to explain sometimes it is like bubbles of air under my belly button to like someone in there scraping ..
