The ovary removal in your pp caught my eye and I thought my 2 cents may be worth something...

I had part of my left ovary removed when I was pg - it hurt like he-l-l.  However, there were plenty of factors that neither of you would have to deal with: 1st - obviously pregnancy and all of the additional symptoms that go along with it, 2nd - vertical incision due to pregnancy, 3rd - additional recovery from severe blood loss from ectopic.

It was rough to recover from and landed me on the couch for a solid 5 weeks.  My insides felt like someone had taken a machete to them.  Percocet was my best friend (which is saying something since I was pg and was VERY worried about the effect it would have on the babies).  I simply couldn't rest, eat, or move without pain medication.  For the scale of pain - I am generally not a wimpy person - probably somewhere in the middle as far as pain tolerance goes.  

If they could do the surgery laparoscopically I think it would be much easier to tolerate - the incision was a pain to deal with and left me with a nasty scar.

All of these things considered - I am currently dealing with daily pain from the little bugger (due to scar tissue from surgery pulling my ovary behind my ute and endo - just a hot mess) and I am counting down the days until I get it removed - hopefully in June.  I will let you know how it goes.  I agree with you Davez - I am not attached to them and now that I am done with them it is time for them to rest (-in peace)
