Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been taking folic acid tablets and trying to conceive, I have been doing ovulation tests and I ovulated early last week. My ovulation tests say that I am ovulating again yesterday and also again today...my stools are dark green in colour and have been for the past two days,I have taken a pregnancy test it reads as negative. Do you have any ideas? Please.
1. As you are pregnant and trying to concieve thus it is wise to contact an OB/GYN doctor for further necessary instructions and management, however I do want to add some points like:
- hormones produced in pregnancy causes the gall bladder to overproduce bile and causes green coloured stool - also taking more of green leafy vegetables and prenatal vitamins can produce the same effect [which may effect the color of urine and bowel movements]
2. If you are ovulating and pregnancy test is negative have an appointment with a specilaist to exclude any underlying health problem and if none is there probably wait, it could be completely normal.
