Fingernails suddenly growing at the rate of knots. Why?

[BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz]

No diet changes (much to my waistlines dismay).
No supplements or meds being taken.
No extra exercise or more than usual time outdoors.

My nails usually get the tiniest bit of white at the ends before clicking/snapping/flaking. Now, when I turn my palm towards me I can see most of the nails above the fingertips.

I've literally never had this in my 34 years.

Pregnant?

Mine always grow significantly faster in the summer.

My husband says I’m crazy but I swear mine always grow more in the summer 🤷‍♀️

I second the pp asking if you may be pregnant? Mine went like that when I was

Pregnancy and living briefly in Australia with much higher temperatures had that effect on me (not at the same time!) so I would guess it’s either the summer heat or pregnancy!

Certainly don't think I'm pregnant - actively working against it and my family is complete. AF due next week so I'll be happy to rule that out.

Could be just that it's summer. Never ever noticed it any previous summer's. Never had it during previous pregnancies either.

It has been very hot! Maybe it's that. Last year was warm and dry but not as hot as this year.

Have you seen that mermaid one of Round The Twist? Could be that

Oh god what a vision to put into my head right before bed

Summer. We get more vitamin d in the summer from the sun. I have lovely summer nails and crappy winter nails.
