SO much pain!

I had my first CP last cycle, started bleeding March 14th & lasted a full 7 days. I was reassured by gynecology that the pain was normal and it soon went away once bleeding had stopped.

however..

I am now ovulating and the pain is HORRENDOUS!

not the typical one sided twinges..

all over deep, bruised, achey pain..

sadly we cant TTC this cycle as sex is far to painful, my cervix being touched/moved feels like my uterus will explode..

I cant even 'bare down' in the bathroom, even passing gas is painful.. sorry TMI... if a random bit of gas hits my rectum area it can send a sharp stab pain very briefly through what I think is the area between my rectum and vagina? bad description but idk how else to say it..

even laughing, coughing, anything that would put pressure on my lower abdomen is really painful.

it all just feels very very bruised and deep almost like a tension headache in my uterus/pelvic area.

id just like to know if this has happened to anyone else.. is it normal? i cant find much info, everything points me to endometriosis but ive never had pain like this before during ovulation or even my period. has the CP caused some kind of damage? could it be endo and its uncovered it? idk.. or is this completely normal following an early miscarriage? I'm really freaked out and upset but its Easter weekend so have to wait til tomorrow to call my GP.

please share any relevant info & thank you for reading x
