Congrats on your resolve to get some action ACG. I didn't have the blood symptoms but did have 12 months of pelvic/hip/lower back pain which resulted in ultrasound looking for stones and eventually a referral to a gynae who wanted to go on a fishing expedition for endo etc. She was just covering her butt, so I asked the GP for a referral to a sports doc instead. He diagnosed a dodgy facet joint with long term inflammation and had me out of pain in 3 days. Anti-inflammatories stopped the negative feedback cycle and coupled with a bike that fits, it's rare that I have any discomfort at all. Go get 'em and good luck.

I've also had on-going issues with pelvic, lower abdominal pain. Also had some bleeding at one point, but realized that was from irritation at the beginning of the riding season, or after a long ride. I also had bladder infection symptoms, especially after long rides.
My gyn. recommended going to a sports med. doctor after I had a trans-vaginal ultrasound that showed everything was OK. Also saw a urologist to get the possibility of stones crossed off of my list.
I went straight to the PT, who solved a good deal of the problem. It's always going to be there, but I have lots of these things I do to keep the pain under control.
