Given your pain levels and the fact you have been exercising on it a bit during the 7 weeks, i'd say you are going to have to consider yourself back at the beginning- 0 weeks in other words. What type of Glutes recruitment exercises are you doing? You should be lying on your front, fully relaxed, and practising tensing up each glute individually without any other muscles firing up, least of all your hamstrings; this is stage one. Stage 2 is isolation of the quads; so you tense Glute, Quad, release Quad, release Glute. Stage 3 is to add in a straight leg lift/lower after the tensing. You can go through a stage a week, but you must persist with each stage until you have it nailed like clockwork, if you rush on too much you'll be wasting your time. This is how we do it in our Pilates class, it's the most complicated but the most effective way. When you fire up your quads the function of your hamstrings are inhibited because they work in opposition to eachother to a certain extent, i can't remember the real name for it, but aswell as teaching your brain to fire your glutes it teaches it to relax your hamstrings at certain times. There are far more advanced exercises, but for now the most basic levels are what you ought to be doing. Like i said before- i'm not qualified in sports rehab and this only anecdotal at best, but this is what i'd be doing if it were me. Best of luck and be patient, see Davis' Law for models and further reading on how connective tissue responds to step changes in loading, as i suspect you have damage to connective tissue on the lower end of your hamstrings somewhere.
