Accepted Answer

Question 5

does ovulation cause bloat and constipation ?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: In some women, at the time of ovulation, because of the higher estrogen levels, which cause water retention, you can feel bloated.  Post ovulation, when you produce progesterone, that hormone may relax your bowels a little making you more prone to being constipated.  Alot of women experience these symptoms on a monthly basis.  Can try some MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) and/or fiber for the constipation. Hope this helps.
