Hi there,
I have had horrible cramps a week before my cycle and sometimes a week
after the flow has stopped. I also felt that during intercouse that I
wanted to vomit. Your pain is real and if your doctor won't take you
seriously (listen to you and understand your pain), I would get a second
opinion. Have you seen a doctor who specializes in Endo? If you haven't
I would.
Hope you feel better,
Cici
