Worried about ovary pain that’s increased

For the last 2 years I’ve had pain on my left side when I’m around my ovulation date, it started off every few months but is now every month and only ever on the left side.
I didn’t think much of it as just assumed ovulation but the last 2 months I’ve had the pain more frequently (ie when I’m not ovulating) and there have been occasions when the pain radiates down the front of my thigh and around my back at the top of my left side bottom, it’s sort of a shooting pain so not constantly there but stops me in my tracks when it happens.
On a pain level it’s not completely awful, like a period pain really, I’m still in work but I’m just worried as it’s getting more frequent.

Any ideas what it could be?
I will of course see my GP but getting an appointment is hard enough and then they can be quite dismissive so want to go in armed with some info

My weird pain turned out to adenomyosis. It wasn't a problem, just annoying, until I ended up in agony and called an ambulance as I was in so much pain and didn't know what it was....!

So dont worry but do get it looked at.

Thank you, I’m too scared to google anything as I know it will inevitably say something life threatening!

Mine turned out to be a harmless but very painful cyst.

I once had an ovarian cyst and when it ruptured it was unbelievable pain. It didn’t last long but I thought I was going to pass out. Definitely get it checked.

Thanks all, will definitely call on my day off next week and get it checked
