Anyone else?

in 1st Trimester
So just got my BFP this past Sunday after trying for 10 months (I actually had clomid ready to start after this cycle...go figure).  I estimate that I'm about 5 weeks and all I have ever heard is how constipating pregnancy is but I have actually had the opposite problem.  I am having at least 4 loose bowel movements/day.  Not diarrhea but also not my normal.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Sorry if this is TMI!
32, Husband 31. Off birth control since December 2011, TTC since May 2012. History of infertility in the family (mother-multiple miscarriages, sister-elevated prolactin). June 2012 progesterone level normal, prolactin mildly elevated. September 2012 prolactin level normal. February 2012 husband's SA pending (history of hernia repair as child).

    Yes I did pretty soon after I had my BFP, but in the past few days that has slowed considerably and its actually starting to bug me (cramps, bloating). Hopefully things won't slow down for you b/c its really uncomfortable

    I had this too, my dr suggested I start taking Metamucil to help me become more regular. So far it's working! I feel your pain!

    I haven't been constipated at all for my entire pregnancy. I think some of it depends on your diet, but if you end up having to take an iron supplement, that can constipate you pretty badly.
