Re-occurring side pain - only during period - endometriosis?

I am at my wits end -- I have a re-occurring right side (only) pain (that starts dull for 1 or 2 days and then honestly feels like appendicitis at its worst...before subsiding) that I get 3/4 days into my period and ONLY when I have my period.  If I take the pill continuously (no breaks) - I don't get the pain. I have been to COUNTLESS doctors and specialists - had a laparoscopy - and found a very small amount of endometriosis but not enough (according to my doctor) to cause "concern" and my doctor isn't 100% convinced that is causing the pain. Like many of you - I am tired of not having ANY answers to what this MYSTERY "weirdo side pain" as I call it that happens like clockwork every month.  Wasn't sure if anyone had similar symptoms?  Or any insights based on what you have gone through?
