Okay ladies I know this is gross but how do you ladies get rid of your constipation? I haven't went to the bathroom in 4 days and my belly is killing me. And my doctors appt  isn't until the 28th and I can't wait until then.

This is about to be a t.m.i. statement but I found that for warp speed instant constipation relief, anal sex with sperm release left in the anus for at least 10 minutes really causes a fast reaction. My hubby hates partaking in that but I just tell him to get over it since I'm the one in real discomfort. I know that it's a bit unconventional and you have to be gentle, but, it definitely works.

I hope you get relief soon...feel better!

Its been a week for me. Ive tried loading up on fiber and laying off the zofran to no prevail. Dr told be to try stool softeners and possibly a suppository. Says if I dont go by tomorrow to come in and they will "get  me going" not sure what that means but I am scared! Haha but really I left work early today because I was constantly doubled over with cramps #itsbeentoolong

LOTS of water has helped me! I usually aim for 80+ oz a day. On top of sufficient fiber (not too much though, otherwise it backs me up even more).

I would eat so much prunes and also putting ur feet on a stool helps bring down the poop. I learn that from Dr.Oz and it worked for me well.
