Did they ever find an actual infection, aside from the blood in your
urine? Endo can irritate the bladder, but you may also have interstitial
cystitis. It's another disease doctors don't know too much about, but
you should be able to google it:

It's impossible to say from here, but a lot of wome who have endo have
IC, too.
A word on the cranberry juice - if it is IC, acidic food and drink may
actually make symptoms worse!
