Day 29 positive opk

Hi everyone, I'm a bit confused and hoping someone might have answers! Ha

I've been doing opk and I ovulated on day 8, the lines got stronger then went faint again. However today is day 29, I've been having cramps and lots of watery/sticky cm. I took another opk and it's positive. I took a PT and it's negative (maybe just too early or am I actually ovulating??)

I've put a picture of said tests.

So girls, I'm really confused..

My period is due tomorrow, and I've got no signs of it coming at all...

I peaked on cd 15 at 6.30pm (tested my ovulation on premom..

I had BD every day since finishing my period until last BD was cd13 and 11pm,
I'm now on cd 29 no period/ no period signs

Had strange cramps all week(not period cramps) and I thought I'd test HCG and LH

Pregnancy tests negative but my ovulation has a high reading of 0.85?

Day 29 positive opk

@Goofers

I switched to the Asda Pregnancy Care vitamins and they have been fine, I’ve noticed no effect on my cycle length.
Thanks for the heads up. That's crazy!!

Yes stop taking the Pregnacare - I can’t believe they are still allowed to be marketed - the disclaimers on the box about how it can mess up your cycle is unbelievable!

Yea, think I'll swap to just folic acid now 👍🏻 thanks for the heads up!

Noodella18 · 24/08/2021 22:16

As in the pregnacare conception vitamins in the green and purple box yeah? With lots of stuff as well as folic acid in them? There's loads of threads on mumsnet about how they can mess with your cycle and it also actually says it on the box! Bonkers that something which is meant to help actually can mess things up! 🤦‍♀️ The month I got preggo i was taking just folic acid on its own rather than as a multivitamin, vit d and ubiquinol (cause I'm old and it's good for egg health).

@Noodella18

Have you taken any supplements this cycle? Mine was totally thrown off by pregnacare and also vit b supplements, I didn't ovulate until day 25 which is not normal for me at all. Went back to normal as soon as I stopped the supps.

I guess at least you have an end date to aim for now, day 44ish!

Yea I've been talking pregnacare folic acid. That's crazy that it might be the reason? Guess I'll see what happens this week and be more prepared next cycle 😂

@Noodella18

Did you actually get a positive opk? Cause none of the ones you posted is positive. If you did get a positive opk CD 29/30 as your post below suggests then you'd be looking at period on CD44ish, depending on how long your luteal stage normally is.
Yea day 30 was definitely a positive opk, I guess that must have been when I ovulated 🤷🏻‍♀️ I've never had such a long cycle before which I guess why I was confused.

Bundaberg84 · 24/08/2021 20:55

Could it be that you experienced a cycle without ovulation? Maybe there was a surge that the opk picked up but no actual ovulation?

@Bundaberg84

Did you have the Covid jab recently?
No, I haven't had one. Still no AF 🤦🏻‍♀️ was convinced it would arrive today. It's never been more than 39 days.

[quote Skl2021]@RegularFries sorry to hear this 😩 rubbish when our bodies mess us around! I have had cycles way longer than normal too! Maybe just keep testing until something happens 🤔 are you sure you weren't ovulating? Are the tests still possitive? I also started getting positive opks this cycle and found out I was pregnant! So it does work for some people x[/quote]
That's amazing news for you! Congratulations. I'll keep testing until something happens! 🤣 X

So I promised to update you. I tested Friday - BFN, tested yesterday (Monday), also BFN. Expecting AF to arrive today. My longest cycle, which was May, has been 39 days. Today is day 40! 🤦🏻‍♀️ No idea what's going on, usually my cycle is 33 days 🤷🏻‍♀️ x

My OPKs were positive at the end of my cycle and it turned out I was pregnant! I can also see a faint line on your pregnancy test. Everything crossed for you.

sak96x · 19/08/2021 17:46

I defo see a line on the pregnancy test. Fingers crossed - Good luck! x
