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
Papaya!! Just make sure it's nice and ripe xxx
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!!
My clinic said lactulose also . Good luck , it’s such a horrible side effect . x
