Hi! I had such bad constipation throughout ivf and my pregnancy. I took Ispaghula Husk Orange drink poo softener and it helped. It's safe for pregnancy so I felt fine drinking it during tww. Or prunes are good. X

My clinic told me Lactulose was safe to use in pregnancy x

My clinic also told me Lactulose but drink plenty of water otherwise things will get worse 🙈

I swear on prune juice and I eat daily a couple of prunes/apricots during the 2ww and make sure you drink plenty xx

Always had this issue during previous IUIs and FETs because of progesterone pessaries. This round I managed to avoid it by eating 4 dried prunes and drinking a shot of kefir (for me lactose free) daily since I started taking the pessaries 3 days before transfer.

Yes to lactulose to ease the discomfort, and for me in the past being constipated has been a good sign! It means your progesterone is rising which could be because embryo has implanted and is adding to the already high progesterone support the clinic will have you on!!
