A member asked:
If i'm waiting to see if i'm pregnant, the two week wait, im bloated and constipated badly, if i took a laxative, would that stop implantation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, but...: No it won't, but if the laxative causes severe diarrhea, the dehydration could interrupt the process of implantation. The uterus with a developing pregnancy needs a "quiet" room to conduct its' business, and that is very hard when there is an intestinal "party going on next door".
