Hey I'm not a doctor so maybe you should consult yours... but I found this--- Hope you feel better!

Minor cramps, pain or discomfort are not uncommon before and/or during a menstrual cycle. However, recurring, severe pelvic pain before and during your period that lasts 6 months or longer could be caused by something more serious, such as endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease affecting millions of women in North America. The disease most often occurs in women in their 20s and 30s and is associated with symptoms such as chronic pelvic pain, pain during sexual intercourse, painful menstrual discomfort, and infertility.

Although there is no cure for endometriosis, it can be effectively treated. If you experience recurring pelvic pain before or during you period, talk to your doctor.
