I am 6 weeks pregnant after IVF and have been taking Cyclogest suppositories for over a month. I have to take them for another six weeks but think they are responsible for my severe constipation. I have gained half a stone in bloat and don't go unless I take a laxative. Syrup of figs did nothing and Fybogel very little. I tried lactulose but it gives me terrible gas. I saw the locum gp who gave me movicol but didn't know much about it. It didn't do much so I bought milk of magnesium today and took 2 tbsp and still not done much. Does any one know what is safe and effective long term? I need to de bloat:(
