Pain in lower left pelvic/ovary area. Endometriosis? Cyst?

[doolin93]

For about 4 months, I have had pain in my lower left pelvic area -- near where I think the ovary would be.  I first noticed it during orgasm.  It caused a sharp pain on the left side.  Now, it feels uncomfortable everyday and when I press deeply on the area, it is very tender and painful.  Other than that, it feels like a dull ache.  For the first time this month, it seems to be getting a bit worse as my period gets closer, although I'm a week late now, which is weird because I'm definitely not pregnant (could just be the stress of thinking about this nonstop!).  The pain also seems to be radiating to my groin and a little down my leg.  

About a month ago, I had a pelvic ultrasound, which showed no abnormalities.  I've been doing research online and I'm now wondering if it could be endometriosis.  I am making another appointment with a new GYN, so hopefully I will get some answers.  It's scary because I'm 31 years old and hope to have kids someday.  Other than this issue, I don't have any health problems.  Has anyone ever had these symptoms?  Do you think it's endometriosis?  Or a cyst that the ultrasound missed?

I have endometriosis and get sharp shooting pains when ovulating.  I was also hospitalized a couple of times for severe SEVERE pain which turned out to be a ruptured cyst.  They can sometimes occur together but are not mutually exclusive.
