Don't think you are bad. Mis-education and lack of education is a big problem with diseases and problems like this. I'm only 20, and I was never told about anything like this. I leart all this from vagpag, online resources and chat freinds.
I'm like you, the cramps got extensivly worse with age, doctors thought I just another crazy woman with pain, then the pain with sex and after orgasam started, its not fun at all. Like you I mask/ed it from my fiance, sometimes I just have to turn him away.
It took me 4yrs of complaing, and in the past 1yr and a half it became progrssivly worse, with 2 misdiagnosed pelvic infections (while I was not sexually active, and they are virtually impossible to get without sexual intercourse, but I was ignored and thought to be lying.....*grr*) and many different blood tests and hormone treatments thrown at me, I finnaly got someone to listen to me, and he put me onto a gyno at the hospital..who virtually told me they have no idea, so I saw someone else, and FINNALY got diagnosed. I'm only 20yrs old, and this has caused so many horrible problems with me, physically and mentally, sometimes I wonder why my fiance puts up with me.
oops, long post, you can contact me at lintonbrat@hotmail if you want to talk more :). But just to reasure your not paranoid, painful sex isnt normal, bad cramps arnt normal and heavy bleeding for 5 weeks is harmful. Don't let anyone ever make you belive that this is just in your mind.
