Colette, That also happened tome in 1989. I went from doctor to doctor and was totally non-functional with pain and pulling. One doctor would say nothing was wrong and said he felt the ovary and it was fine, next doctor couldn't find right ovary, next doctor said felt both ovaries (only had "one"), next doctor couldn't find the ovary, next one said found ovary. They were driving me nutz...case of the missing ovary.

Finally a new GYN (my favorite) couldn't find the ovary. He finally found it when he reached downward instead of the normal upward position for internal. He said it was bound down by something and couldn't be moved, most likely adhesions again. I had the ultrasound done with the probe and it showed a cyst on the ovary.

I had surgery which revealed cysts inside the ovary plus the ovary was bound down to the vaginal wall. Your ovaries are suppose to float and naturally it couldn't. It can't be left like that..... so they had to remove it since the adhesions totally engulfed it making it impossible to free the ovary. Good Luck JEAN

I'm sorry for not being as active as much as i should have! For some reason i've been more tired than usual , like having a hard time staying awake period! On wens i went and had an ultersound well i really wanted to punch the tech because she was really pushing down hard on the tummy she said she was having trouble finding my right ovary! I ask her what does that mean she said ohhh! it happens! So then she asked if it would be ok to do a transvaginal US i said ok! Boy let me tell you that was so painful i about leaped off that table and punch someone! She did find the right ovary but said it appeared to be attached to something thats way she could'nt find it the other way! So now i have to make yet another dr's appt to discuss the US! But for 2 days after that US i felt horrible! I fear endo is back and adhesions! I hope every one is well! I'm sending warm hugs and kisses to all my friends! I think of you guys everyday!! Love Colette
