Stool Softener not working!!?

So back in the first trimester my doc gave me a stool softener to take.with iron pills. I do t really take the iron pills any more since I don't need them anymore. But I still take the stool softener sometimes when I need it. The name is "Colace" 100mg. I took them 2 x a day for 3 days and still.....nothing. I maybe went #2 once this week but not a lot if you know what I mean. The only thing it does is make me able to fart but I can't go #2.... What is wrong with this medicine?
