I certainly understand why you're wondering! Having a period or a cycle that is so unlike the rest of your cycles can be alarming, but it does happen to many women for no apparent reason.
Even before you mentioned that your mom had endometriosis, I was wondering if that was a possibility. (And by the way, it's possible to have perfect Pap smears for years and have endometriosis; I did.) What level of pain do you normally have cramps-wise with your period? Has the pain worsened over time?
