Hi,
Thanks for your question. I do understand your pain and discomfort. I have seen many cases with similar complaints. Please find my advice below-:
1)For Constipation take cremaffin fiber supplement in the after noon and cremaffin plus 3 teaspoonful at night.
2)Eat fruit and vegetables daily and drink sufficient water
3)Do regular exercise in the morning and evening
4)Do not stop your urges when you feel you want to go to toilet go there and make a time for it .
5)Do your Stool examination every month to ruled out intestinal parasites
6)Do check your T3,T4,& TSH level in blood
7)Do a pelvic ultrasound exam to ruled out any pathological disorder present
8)Finaly i want to say that the drug which you have already taken has no role to play in infertility.Do whay i told and report me after 15 days time .

I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me.
