    You can take Colace stool softener. It's safe during pregnancy too :)

    Hope you get some relief soon!

    Colace does work.  Also, increase your fiber intake to help move things along.  And, if you are still drinking caffeine, a strong cup of coffee always gets things going for me!

    GL!

    Ditto to Colace.  I had this issue with progesterone and called my RE's nurse and she said Colace was good and safe to take.  Try Fiber One muffins, cereals or bars.  They tend to do the trick for me.  And increase you water intake.

    Just like all of the previous posters - increase your fiber, water and take Colace.

    I had terrible constipation from my PIO.  The nurse even suggested Milk of Magnesia.

    Good luck!
