To be stressing that my colonoscopy prep ISNT WORKING FAST ENOUGH [blush]

[emeraldgirl1]

Started taking the prep (Moviprep) at 2pm this afternoon (Monday) as instructed for an 11am apointment Tues. (ie today, now it's just gone midnight). Now it's midnight and I'm still up with BMs, (look away now if squeamish) very runny in consistency (in fact like water) but not yet clear in colour. Shouldn't everything be clear colour by now? I have half a litre more of moviprep to drink at 6am but am worried it still wont get everything clear fast enough before my appointment.

Anyone done this and have any advice? Is it still ok if BMs are not clear in colour at this stage?

Thanks and sorry for TMI :(

Messy subject, no one wants to touch it.

I had to do this several years ago. I.. well, I think they just want things as clean as possible there. Please don't stress, as I think that'll just make things worse. Just relax. ahem.

Hi, I've had lots of Colonoscopies and still been going at night. Not clear but hopefully getting clearER?

I'd say you'd be fine by tomorrow, nice and empty! Try and sleep now and maybe take next sachet a bit earlier if you're worried. Earlier rather then later is better

thanks muchly cakewench!
worst case scenario i'll just call them in the morning and ask if i should come in early to be... ahem... sorted out another way.

this is miserable though! DH had this done a few months back and he slept like a baby the night before

thank you heidi!
um, getting a bit clearer, i think... not much though.
i have a horrendously slow system which is the reason for the tests in first place - chronic constipation. so am just concerned the prep isnt getting through system fast enough.
will take the next lot at 5am not 6 as was instructed... or earlier, do you think?
