Somewhat of a TMI?
I have severe problems going to the bathroom. During the 2WW, do you think its okay if I take an ex-lax? When I say bad, I mean bad (Like over a week  ) Thanks!

I would take Colace. You can take that when you are pregnant and it's safe for a baby. Are you taking prenatals? They will cause constipation a lot of the time.

Re: Somewhat of a TMI?
Also try to make sure you are drinking enough water, that helps too. Dietery changes will help too, gotta get that fiber in! Eat those veggies, fruits, and grains. You will feel 10 times better. Colace is pricey to be on long term.
I was on it for a couple months for post pardum issues. Believe me, the bathroom thing will only get worse when you are pg and after you have the baby if you don't make changes now. take it from a new mom in pain :)

Sufak is another stool softener. I had to take it while pregnant. Good luck!

People swear by coffee. Unfortunately, I hate the way it tastes

Re: Somewhat of a TMI?
This sounds like a stupid comment, but you can try soaking in a warm bath. The temperature of the water might soften your stool enough for you to expel it.
(I worked for years at a nonprofit dealing with Crohn's disease and colitis -- we used to tell people this and it often helped.)
