Its been three days since I've had my period now. The first day I got my period I went through a lot of suffering. I was puking, had sever pelvis pain, felt very week, high fever, and major constipation. And now the third day, I am concernced because I am still constipating. Its been about 3 and a half days since I've gone without being dependent on a laxative. I purchased some senokot-s yesterday and well yes, I felt relieved today because I did go but it was very very little. I've only taken it once and that was yesterday only 2 tablets before bed. I am thinking about takign it again tonight because I am stilll really really constipated. I am afraid because I don't think I am going to go without the aid of senokot. I know I can only take it for a week otherwise if i take it longer i will become dependent on it. Well, I've decided that I am going to take another dose tonight before bed and tomorrow I will not take any. Just to see if my bowel movement goes back to normal tomorrow.

Do not use a laxative, you can become depandant on it. Use something like Metamucil, Konsonyl, or something with lots of fiber (i.e. Oat Bran).
It sounds to me when you stress, your bowels shut down, unlike mine, which do the complete oppsite.
Good luck

Are you drinking enough water? Your period robs you of essential fluids, so you need to be drinking at least 2 liters of water every day.
