Near-constant cramps

Kelly

Has anyone else experienced a cycle with cramps every day? I usually cramp the week before my period and the first two days, but this past cycle I have been cramping without a break. During my period they were insanely painful; since then they are mild but noticeable. And they worsen to the point of severe pain about thirty minutes after having sex, and last several hours.

As background, I'm 23 years old and have been sexually active for about eight months. I'm an appropriate weight, though I've actually been losing weight recently -- I'm not sure if that's related (and I can't really stand to lose much weight).

Any ideas?
