I'm going to the doctor this afternoon but I wanted to get your opinoins and maybe a little bit of help first...

I've had period pain for a few years, on a scale of 1-10 it was usually around a 3 or 4.

Just before concieving DS I had a REALLY bad one. I was in tears, curled up in bed in agony for abpuit 8 - 12 hours, pain relief did nothing. It was a lot like labour - cramps that came and went with a peak, extremely painful (I had thought maybe it was a misscarriage but I'm not sure, guess I'll never really know).

After DS they went away for a while but it's come back again, the last 4 or 5 months I've had some form of pain, from a 1-2 hour bout to all day. Even times when 2 days after my period had finished I had pain (also had pain during these periods). Pain level now is about a 5 or 6 out of 10.

It just doesn't seem right.

There doesnt seem to be any real pattern to when the pain comes, how long it lasts, how bad it is except that the pain is getting worse and lasting a little longer, not everytime but most times.
Since the pain has come back thjey have been quite a bit heavier, and has gone from lasting about 10 days to about 7.

I have also been getting horrible nauseating headaches with the last few periods.

SO...
Is this normal or should Imention it to the doctor when I go?
Any suggestions as to what it might be that's causing it?
Also (as you can probably tell) I'm having a hard time describing it, what should I say to the doctor when I see him/ her - never met this one before?

TIA
