Weird Periods/Symptoms

Health

Hi guys, I just need some advice or somebody to maybe share personal experience regarding these issues I've been having over the years (im 18). Over the past few years I've been experiencing a lot of "irregular symptoms" revolving around my cycle. Containing:

  1. Really bad bloating to the point I look like im in early pregnancy
  2. Having a period during my ovulation and on my regularly timed period 3.some pain during intercourse, but spotting afterwards (sometimes the spotting can last days)
  3. Hot flashes, which causes heavy sleeping issues, and I've been having a lot of insomnia 5.a sharp pain on my left ovary that can go up, or down my legs.
  4. Then really bad cramps randomly even when im not on my period (to the point i cant move). And on my period they're hell sometimes even being nauseated from the pain.
  5. Ive always had clotting and heavy bleeding and a thick like blood during periods

I've developed a lot of these over the last few years, espesically ever since I started a progesterone only birth control, but my issue is when i'm not on birth control these things can get even worse. Which i started my first period when i was 9, and they used to be very normal, but once I hit about 15 everything went really down hill. And symptoms are just getting slowly worse over the years, and my family has a history with uterine problems, but I just find it very hard to believe these things are "normal". Everytime I've gone to a OB, I've been to two different ones. They all say I look normal even on ultrasounds. But I still feel like this isnt normal, I know a lot of these can be caused by PMS, but this affects my life daily all month. Just not before my periods. And I was wondering if anybody had similar experiences, thank you to anybody who responds <3
