I’m in the same boat. I keep thinking if only I can have a big bowel movement, this bloating would feel a little better but can’t seem to do it. Sorry I don’t have any advice. Been having a few prunes but that hasn’t seemed to work 🙈

Hey ladies they told me to have senna - they said it was safe . I was the same ! So constipated and I hate prunes !!! X x

I know it's such a lovely process isn't it?! Initially I had the opposite, not diarrhoea but literally couldn't stop going!! Then a couple of weeks ago I went and a huge amount of blood also came out. Terrifying! The progesterone totally messes with your bowels. I sorted my issue with reflexology, the only thing that works for me if constipated is loads and loads of water. Hope you get it sorted soon xx

Prune juice first thing in morning, fybogel is ok, prunes, water lots of it...

Oh no, I found progesterone hard on the bowels too. Keep drinking lots of water. Hope symptoms ease off for you xx

I can’t do senna as too hardcore for me. I used lactulose to get things going and then bought some psyllium husks from Holland and Barrett which I took to maintain things. They are the ingredient in fybogel but you don’t have sweetners/artificial flavourings you would get in fybogel. Oh and keep on top of your water too. Hope it passes quickly, so to speak! xxx

100 % Prune juice. 1 glass then wait a couple of hours then try another.....works like a treat for me. I stocked up before my second ec. Good luck. Its such a yucky feeling.

You should drink more water. Eat porridge every morning, it helps a lot !

Drink more water, that was the advice given to me! xx
