i hope everyone is doing great and the weekend isnt going  by too fast for you.
gotta question
what is safe to take for constipation? i have been eating cereal like grape nuts and kellogs complete for the fiber, but nothing is working and now my back is starting to ache. getting ahold of my doctor isnt easy, so i thought to ask you.

try putting a little flax seed on your food.
this might sound weird but, i have ibs and when i'm consipated a go to 7/11 and buy a big hot chocolate it always gets me going.
good luck,

You can also take Milk of Magnesia occaisionally if none of the natural things works. By natural, I mean fiber, fruits, juices etc.

I've been told you can take stool softeners and fiber like metamucil while pregnant. Fleet also has suppositories that will usually bring on a bm in less than 5 minutes. If your not too far along and can manage it, a warm water enema could do the trick and be completely safe.

Hi everyone.

  ITs been a while since I've been here....I back to ask some questions.

Im currently cd 26 and 12 dpo....I think I am having an early af..(never been early before)  and the only symptoms of AF is that I have is some bleeding.  Usually my bb's are sore which they are not but very swollen, bloating ( but not bloated) and cramping ( which I been having some pressure above my pubic bone and some presssure/tightness in my back...and its only been lasting from last night( started after midnight) until this afternoon like around 12 which I find very strange b/c that has never happened before) also my nipple area is now different, like darker, the bleeding I have is light also I woke up this morning like my ligaments were sore again very strange...I don't know what to make out of this...

ANY SUGGESTIONS are welcome : )

How much Castor Oil should you take when trying to "induce your own labor"?  I remember Msklar taking it and it worked so I'm wondering. My sister is here with a bottle and ready to take it but we need to know how much.  Thanks...

hi everyone! well, I finally got af this past week. the first time since my ectopic and surgery on feb 6th. next wednesday i go to have that hysterosalpingogram done. I keep hearing different things about it and i really think i am getting all worked up over it. i have researched it and read all about it but i would still like to hear from anyone who has already had it. also wanted to say that on the 22nd of this month i go to see the specialist! I am so excited about that part!! Hopefully in the next few months i will be pregnant!!

I just found this site today.  WOW
I had (as I call it the dye test) back in the fall.  I too was very nervous.  When they first inflate the cath baloon there is some discomfort in your bum but not the entire time it was actually relatively painless.

My husband and I have a son who will be 3 soon, we have been trying for 1.5 years tc another child currently on clomid.
Finding this site is a blessing, up until now have felt very alone in the world of infertility.
thanks to all for allowing me to hear you!

Hi everyone, how is everyone. I wasn't around the past few days. I was busy and not feeling well either. Self inflicted! Oh well, don't want to see that again for awhile. I'm still gagging at the though of liquir. Yuck!

Anyway, nothing much going on with me. I'm wondering though if I might have a yeast infection. I can't remember ever having one, actually maybe once years and years ago. Anyway, I have tons of really thick cm, like a really thick lotion, no smell but I'm sore up inside. When we had intercourse last night it was painful for me and never usually is. Other then that I'm fine. Could it be an infection do you think? I figure I will have AF by the 23rd of this month, that will be 32 days which my cycles ususally are. I hope it comes back by then anyway, that's if I'm not pregnant. So tired of waiting for something to happen, I'm getting really down again. Just sucks!
