I am trying this cycle and suddenly my digestion is slow, which is not usual for me. Period is still a week away. Was constipation an early sign for anyone?
Yes! Honestly I felt so bloated and constipated in my early weeks before I even knew. The hormones slow everything down. Once I started drinking more water and eating fruit it got a bit better.
Haan it happens beta. Soaked figs and a glass of warm water in morning used to help in our family. Eat papaya carefully only the ripe one, and keep moving a little. Big problems toh doctor ko dikhao.
Mere saath bhi yahi hua in the beginning, I was so uncomfortable. Did anyone else feel constipated as one of the first signs? I literally guessed I was pregnant because of this plus tiredness.
Very common. The progesterone slows your gut so constipation hits early for many. Lots of water, fibre, fruits, soaked raisins, and stay a little active. If it gets really bad mention to your doc, dont take random laxatives.
For me the nausea and constipation came together, miserable combo honestly. Iron tablets also made it worse. Curd, oats, lots of water helped me. Just go easy on yourself in those first weeks.
