I Think I Am Pregnant?

I am on day 41 and still no AF. I am having most of the symptoms. I am going to probably test this week. One of the symptoms I am having is constipation, I am taking fiber pills (Citrucel). Can the fiber pills be harmful if I am pg? Should I stop taking them?

Thoughts appreciated! Thanks!

Hi roblyl1;

We just saw your posting, and hope this is helpful:

We have heard that HCG actually causes constipation by acting on the muscles of your bowels. Therefore, adding fibre may not work!! Talk to your doctor maybe! Or We think (dh and I) that Milk of Magnesia would work better...Hope this helps!

good luck!
