"Current medical status: I have been previously diagnosed of having endometrosis. I have always been regular with my periods until now. I have had severe cramping on and off for 3 weeks. I have done h.p.t test and one at the doctors which are all negative - I had my tubes tied 3 years ago - clamped."


Abdominal cramps can originate not only from the inner genitalia but also from the urinary or digestive tract. A late menstrual period without pregnancy could indicate a disturbance in the hormonal axis of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovaries. A very common reason for such a disturbance is the persistence of a hormonally active ovarian cyst. Ovarian cysts can also cause abdominal pain... but only in some rare cases. You can request an abdominal ultrasound to identify the cause and will have to consult a gynecologist to follow up.
