Hi Ladies!

Do any of you get constipated during ovulation? (for those who are still seeing their periods fairly regularly). This is my ovulation week and for the past few days I have been experiencing the worst constipation. I experience the occaisional constipation here and there but today was really a struggle. Just wanted to know if I was by myself on this one.

    This is not a joke, but seriously, it works. Try this. When you are sat on the loo, you need to raise your knees up. Try putting your feet up on an upturned bucket, or washing basket, or any strong box. Just let gravity do its job. I always do this and never have any problems anymore. Hope this helps.
