i wish i could remember exactly what day the t.v.u. was done on. it was back in july. i may just make yet another appt. with my gyn. and sit down to talk it over again. they are kinda sick of hearing from me but i am kinda sick of this. i am sure you understand. i am almost eight weeks into the three month shot of lupron and still have more painful days than pain free days. yesterday it got up to a nine. if i didn't know what it was, i would have gone to the E.R.

thanks so much. sorry michelle for having gotten off track of your original question. it does sound like our pain and timing may be similar, but i wouldn't use that as a diagnosis though. when the pain gets really bad, my leg feels cold and numb as well as having pain in it. when i first starting reading the posts i was relieved to see that others had experienced leg pain as well. personally, i wouldn't have felt okay without having had the lap to rule out other things though. hope you get some answers soon.

Taken from the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler:
"As for the various pains that women often notice midcycle, there are several theories as to their causes. The important point is that you cannot say with certainty whether they are occurring before, during, or after you've actually ovulated.
Dull achiness: this is thought to be caused by the swelling of numerous follicles in the ovaries as the eggs race for dominance and ultimate ovulation. It is typically felt as a general abdominal achiness, since both ovaries swell with growing follicles as the woman approaches ovulation.
Sharp pain: This could be the actual moment that the egg bursts through the ovarian wall and is usually felt on only one side.
Crampiness: This is probably the result of irritation of the abdominal lining caused by leakage of follicular fluid relseased from the ruptured egg follicle. It could also be due to contractions of teh fallopian tubes around ovulation.
Because there are several pains taht may occur, none of them are considered primary fertility signs that can be depended upon independently. But ovulatory pain in general is an excellent secondary fertility sign to corroborate the three primary signs (cervical fluid, temperature, and cervical position). The pain typically lasts anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours and is usually felt on the side where ovulation occurs.
One of the more interesting secondary fertility signs is that of a swollen vulva just before ovulation. If women are especially attentive as their cervical fluid becomes slippery and wet, they may notice that their vulva becomes more swollen on the side on which they ovulate. In fact, there is another secondary fertility sign than can also help you determine on which side you will ovulate.
If you are especially attentive as you approach ovulation, you may be able to feel a small lymph gland swell to about the size of a pea. This is the "Lympth Node Sign," and can be felt by lying down an dplacing your hand near your groin. By positioning your middle finger just over the pulsating artery of your leg, your index finger will hopefully be able to feel the tender and enlarged lymph gland. This sign is particularly intreguing since it usually indicates the side on which ovulation occurs."

I get all those different pains, sometimes all in the same day. But also, if you have endo on your intestine or bowel for instance, sometimes you can feel pain when you are having movement in those areas, or if your bladder is filling and you have endo on there, you may feel pain due to that as well. As we all know, the only way to tell where the endo is is to have a lap. I've been told that the majority of my pains are probably caused by the endo. I've stopped trying to determine where each pain comes from.. I just know it hurts all the time.
