Constipation!!

I've tried prescriptive medications, over the counter preparations, fruit and vegetables etc, the only thing that works for me is broccoli - soup, stir fry or steamed.

Movicol works awesome for me. I have been this round going between constipation and diarrhoea having to use gastrostop.

@Trikki2 hi thanks. After that first occasion I actually ended up going on a daily basis. Not diarrhea though thankfully. My system seemed to work itself out without any assistance. I will be watching more carefully for my second cycle though. I think I will take something the same day and hopefully that will offset any more complications. xx

Just be aware @Suzi_S61 , your next cycle could be completely different.  I never knew whether I was going to have constipation or diarrhoea each time, and I did end up with both once.

Yes I joked with doctor that I had constipated diarrhea.  He was not amused.  Lol. 

Some people just take themselves way too seriously.

@Harvey1903 I know what you mean. Sometimes these Doctors don't have a funny bone. I said to one Doctor when discussing radiotherapy I should just apply a really good 50+ sunscreen. He looked blank. My partner and I chuckled and we moved on. In his defence he was asian so maybe didn't understand the local humour. I have a really close friend who posteda snap of a tv screen above the urinal in a hotel and I said to him it was probably for men with prostate problems. Boy did I get a roasting from his son in law. I put him back in his place though cos I  said I actually have Breast cancer so this isn't about disrespecting someone who has cancer. Its just toilet humour and a reference to the length of time spent in the loo. My friend sent me an apology. I just think sometimes people have lost their sense of humour around us. Yes we all get its serious but we have to find the funny bits to keep us going 💖 don't feel guilty for seeing the funny side.

@Kellie hi just wanted to check in and see how you are going after your second cycle? I hope not too bad. I am due for my next session at the end of the month. Looking forward to that with trepidation. 
Hope the bowel problems are minor. xx
