Shortly after I became an HIV consultant, I was admitted to hospital. I had severe pelvic and lower back pain, 2 days after egg retrieval, in my third cycle of in-vitro fertility treatment (IVF). Having suffered from endometriosis and adenomyosis for some years, I was accustomed to pain and managing it with a heat pad and ibuprofen. But that evening the pain intensity made me realise something quite different was happening. It felt like someone was using a heavy shovel to scrape away the lining of my abdomen.
