Is it

i'm 23 years old and i suffer from severe period pain as time goes by. My period came at the age of 13 and i didn't have any problems with my period just until i was 18. I started having period cramps and rectal pain as if i have a lot of gas acumulated there and i can't get it out and it hurts so bad, My doctors said i have very low progesterine in lutheal phase and they gave me progesterone supplements for 3 months but i finished them and it didn't work at all. My GYN says that the ultrasound does n't show anthing bad. But i pretty much suspect that i have this terrible disease. Do I have high chances of having it?

I suspect i have endometriosis... My doctor put me on birth control for about 6 months or so but it didn;t help at all as i hoped. On the contraty I think it made my body a lot worse, i started getting a lot of pimples.
Since then i tried a lot of natural remedies but nothing works for me that;s why i suspect i have this. All the doctors I went to think that i'm crazy for thinking i might have it. I even tested one of the markers for endometriosis but nothing came through. I suspected because of the symtoms that I have. At first it was just period pain situated down there but now I have bad abdominal and rectal cramps and an upset stomach.

What terrible disease are you suspecting you have?  Has she tried putting you on birth control?  Mine were severe like that (plus nausea, headaches, etc.) and I still have aspects of it, but birth control made things a lot better (not to mention a lot shorter).
