I apologise this is going to be long. During a cycle of IVF in 2007 I started getting severe abdominal pain which required hospitalisation and only morphine seemed to help. My IVF Doctor still wanted me to go ahead with IVF meds regardless but after I missed a clomid dose noticed improvement - and then when I took it again pain returned immediatly, hence never completed the cycle. Pain is extremely painful and like late stage contraction pain!
Forward a few months (no longer doing IVF)then 3 days after my period started the pain returned and lasted for 4 days then stopped again. Again the pain was extreme contraction like pain and only morphine would help. I work in a smaller district hospital and friends with the Doctors so they did everything possible to work out what was the cause but nothing showed up. Endometriosis/Polycystic Ovary syndrome etc etc ruled out!! This pain would occur sometimes a few months in a row then be absent for several months then suddenly return again. Always the same pain and time cycle! Went to so many specialist and did so many tests nothing showed up.
Then after two years on/off with this pain was diagnosed with severe CIN III (in another oddity of my weird body these cells developed within a 10month period from clear papsmear to severe CIN III Doctors say if I didn't have this undiagnosed pain and was trying to have that diagnosed there was a great possibility I may not have made it to my two year papsmear without getting cervical cancer - SCARY!!) and after specialist had to remove a great deal of my cervix I was then in constant pain so opted to have a hysterectomy and right ovary removal (did have a few issues prior to IVF with occasional cyst on right ovary). My IVF doctor performed operation and said there was absolutely nothing wrong diagnostically with these organs during pathology tests.
Was pain free for 18 months (never felt so good EVER!!!) but then in the last week the pain has started again. Same severe pain and has lasted a fair while this time. I am SO over it and can't live my life like this especially not knowing what is going on. Would love to hear from anyone at all who has had something similar or anyone with ideas on what this could be.
