I have the same problem, my stomach is upset when I take it. Not sure what to do about it. Sorry I am not much help. Good Luck with your IVF.

Hey huni i had exactly the same problem with the black poo.. lol

I didnt get an upset tummy but i got really dark poo, its the iron in the tablets it is well known for making your poo a real dark colour!

Good luck with the ivf xx

I have the same thing. The iron constipates me and gives me gripey pains. I couldn't find any pregnancy vitamins with no iron in so I am just taking folic acid. I will try and persevere with the pregnacare if I get pregnant, mayne take 1 every other day or something.

Thanks your right it is the Iron. I'm going to just take folic acid and maybe look for some multivitamins without iron. Cheers for the well wishes x

Hmm interesting u should bring this up as you've just switched on a light in my head.. I've been taking pregnacare since January and have been really constipated lately, unusual for me...now maybe I know why! I'll still keep taking it though, just have to try and eat a bit more fibre x x

Have you just started on it recently? I had similar problem but it just took a while for my body to get used to it. I've been taking it ages now without problem but it took few weeks for body to adapt!
