Worried about Sepsis?

So 2 years ago I had a laparoscopy to remove an ovarian cyst. Ever since the operation I've still been suffering from pain on the ovary and foul smelling vaginal discharge along with pelvic pain. I did have a urine infection and inflammation on the ovaries just a few months after the op which was treated with antibiotics and I felt better for a while but the problem returned a few months later and I ended up having a swab which showed group b strep. I had antibiotics to treat that too and once again the problem returned so I had another scan which showed a functional ovarian cyst and as the scan didn't show much they put it down to adhesions. Then about a year ago I was referred to a gynecologist, they took a swab which came back normal and gave me antibiotics which really helped and I felt completely better. Now the problem has once again returned after just a few months. The foul smelling discharge, pelvic pain, ovarian pain. It's as if I get cysts and they just burst, the pains were terrible last month and the scan was clear, I've been unable to finish taking antibiotics which they gave me again because they were making me feel so sick I couldn't deal with it. I've just had a swab and urine sample taken a few days ago so hopefully will get the results at beginning of next week. I've just recently been reading things about infections and I've got terrible anxiety so I've convinced myself it'll lead to sepsis. Although no infection has been diagnosed now in a year and a half. I was told to go on the pill but heard too much negativity about it so left it. Although maybe the problem would be resolved if I took the pill?
