Right Quadrant Pain First Day of Cycle but No Ovary

Hi Everyone,

Just wonder if anyone has any insight. I had my right ovary removed two years ago. I had no issues until January 2016 when on the first day of my menstrual cycle, I got really sharp pains on the my right side. They were so bad I thought it may be my appendix. They were short, very intense, lasting about 30 seconds each. The pain would start, then subside for a few minutes, then come right back. It lasted about two hours. I had also worked out that day so also thought maybe I over did it. I decided to wait until next month to see what happened. Once again, on the first day of my cycle, same issue. Pain was so bad I almost had to pull over driving. Almost like contractions. The problem is that I had my ovary removed in 2014 on that side so I am baffled. I could maybe understand if still had an ovary it may be a cyst, but it's gone! I have a regularly scheduled appointment with my GYN in April, but just wondering if anyone else has experienced this after having an ovary removed? Thanks.

I would have a doctor check it out to be safe. May be have an ultrasound just to see. April is fine there is no hurry.  It could be scar tissue. Even an adhesion, something sticking to something else. When things swell up due to the period it might be worse. All surgery can have scar tissue. I have pain from my hysterectomy from scar tissue. It feels like the original ovarian pain. Sometime you can get endometriosis outside the uterus. I am not a doctor just stating possibilities.
