3 times a day to once a week is all within the normal range BUT if you usually go once every two days, then this isn't normal for you.

Drink a lot of water, get stuck into the dried fruit, they do actually work and give it a day. If no luck make an appointment with your doctor. The reason i mention the above steps BEFORE going to the doctor is that if your doctor isn't crap he should be trying those things first before giving you meds. Giving prokinetic agents to people that are constipated because of dehydration, for example, is not terribly smart.
