Hi. Sorry to hear you're suffering so much I have pretty much exactly the same symptoms as you. Have you tried heat packs for the pain? I got sick of taking painkillers everyday so trying a TENS machine and that's really helping so I'd recommend that. Try to increase your water intake and fibre in your diet to help with the constipation. As for the painful sex I'm at a loss with myself on that one too. But remember you can always do other things together :) also I'd recommend the mirena for the period pain, I had it put in in December 16 and after a few months of bleeding it stopped and I haven't had a period since. I hope the specialist gives you some answers. Best of luck
