I'm having the exact same problem!

I'm only 17 and have been taking birth control since the end of June to regulate my periods, so it's important that I continue with it for about a year or so.

I was developing hemrorrids around the same time that I started birth control and was straining to have a bowel movement, but didn't really take it seriously. I also always had digestive/constipation problems as a young child. Then as soon as I started birth control I had no urge to go for about 1 month! I could only go with laxatives.

I started taking magnesium which is making me be able to have a bm but I have to strain a lot and it doesn't seem like I'm releasing all that needs to be released.

I think that the birth control just slowed down my digestive motility and I'm thinking maybe it'll take 3 months for my body to adjust to the hormones.
