Cyclogest - constipation or am I “showing” already?? 9 weeks

[Ally638]

Hi, I am on cyclogest pessaries 400mg twice a day and they are making me SO CONSTIPATED. I am literally taking laxatives for days on end to have (sorry tmi) a couple of little rabbit droppings every other day. I’m not sure where all the food I’m eating is going. I don’t know what else I can do! I’m drinking prune juice, taking lactulose and laxido but nothing is working. I’m only 9 weeks but seem to have a big pregnant belly - is this me showing already or is it the constipation? Help! Xx

It’s just bloating and constipation. I had bloating horribly with my second. Nothing worked to get it to go down, it eventually turned into baby. You won’t be showing yet, baby is far too tiny, it’s only about the size of an olive. Have you tried drinking a lot of water? Midwife suggested it to me but it didn’t work. Might be worth a go though. Congratulations by the way, I’m also 9 weeks.

Heya, I’m taking cyclogest 400mg x3 a day and progynova 8mg and I am the same as you. So horribly constipated and bloated! I spoke to my nursing team and they’ve recommended lactulose as well, but it isn’t doing anything. If you find something that works I’d love to hear it please 🙏🏻.
