I have been told that I possibly have endometriosis but my body rejects artificial hormones so I cannot take any birth control related products. I noticed that my pain has been the worst it has been in over a year since recently having sex with my boyfriend. I was not ovulating at the time and we used extra protection condoms and pull out together so I am not concerned about pregnancy. I’m afraid that sex has irritated the inflammation, making this a very painful ovulation cycle. Does anyone have any advice as to what I can do to relieve pain other than surgery or standard pain killers?
