Hi all, had my TC with reconnection on November 8th. Things have been going well, I have been drinking prune juice some nights and taking milk of magnesia other nights and it seems to keep things going smoothly. I took the MOM last night, and went a few times during the night/early morning. Usually I also go little during the day or evening, but today I did not. An hour or so ago I did a warm water enema (small, fleet-sized bottle) and all of it came back out along with several little pea to blueberry sizes harder pieces of stool, maybe like a tablespoon's worth. I repeated this a couple of times but just got mostly bile-colored water coming back out. (when I normally go during the day it looks similar to that).
As a side note - last night I ran out of my birth control pills and couldn't get them refilled until today. My body has always been very sensitive to my cycles and before my TC if I missed a pill my constipation got much worse.
Anyways, I was worried this was some kind of blockage, but I felt totally fine all day. No nausea, no upset stomach, no bloating, just gas - and the normal amount of gas I have every day. So I am wondering if this is just a normal occurrence, like a "slow day"...I did eat some veggies and a semi high-fat meal last night...
or if it could be related to being late taking my BC pill...I did feel a tiny bit crampy early this morning but it went away and was definitely menstrual cramp pain, not stomach pain.
or if I should be worried? I ate low-residue today and plan on taking milk of magnesia again tonight as a precaution. It just freaked me out having little hard pieces come out like that.
Thanks in advance...Ali
