ok well im on my second day of my period and im really constipated....and the constipation is creating pain in my lower abdominable. I was going to take a laxative but it says that you cannot take it if you're having any sort of pain. I'm pretty sure the pain is due to constipation I mean, I can tell the difference if its a cramp or because of constipation. So, I was thinking to take castor oil? You can take that while your on your period, right? If so, how much should I take? and how long will it make me go for??

take a stool softener and all the poop will be gone within a 2 or 3 days. drink alot of coffee and it'll be gone in like a day. don't risk the laxative. but if u take it anyway take one and set aside an hour for pooping. 2 hours if its been like a week since you pooped.

I would recommend drinking lots of water as well as having this issue evaluated by your doctor before you start trying anything with castor oil. This constipation during your period could indicate a problem.
