Pelvic pain after gonadotropin administration as a potential sign of endometriosis FERTILITY AND STERILITY Jun, S. H., Lathi, R. B. 2007; 88 (4): 986-987

We describe five patients who developed significant pelvic pain, requiring narcotics, during a controlled ovarian hyperstimulation cycle and who were surgically diagnosed with significant endometriosis. Severe pain, especially if it requires narcotics, is unusual for patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and may be an indicator of endometriosis.
