hot bath can help with cramping

If your GP is a guy, might try to get a GP that's a lady. A lot of male doctors are awful about properly screening for reproductive health problems.

Clearly I can’t diagnose you, but I can share.

I had a similar experience, beginning with my first period at 16. My cycles were wildly erratic…nothing for six months, then two months straight. And pain.

This was 57 years ago, so I think progress must have occurred. It took a surprise ‘pregnancy’ to discover the issue. During the 5th monthly checkup, I was told, “You’re not having a baby. You’re having an operation.”

For polycystic ovaries. Also present, endometriosis.

I did have a healthy baby girl later and at 34 had a hysterectomy (this was during the surgical era known as “rip out all organs she’s not currently using and let God sort ‘em out.”)

I was told by at least two doctors that women were “so hysterical about their perfectly normal physical pain.”

If I had it to do again and knew what I now know, I’d have delivered a sharp powerful kick to each’s gonads, to see how hysterical THEY got. You know, medical science.

You could try to get a 2nd opinion?

Also why is your avatar glowing lol

Find another doctor. My wife had similar period pain issues when she was in her teens, and it took prescription hormone meds to solve the problem.

Ibuprofen works better, it may not be the safest drug, but as far as periods are concerned, it works.
