Has pregnacare fucked my cycle up?

Forgive the swearing!

Normally I ovulate around day 13 with lovely egg white mucus for around 3 days before. This month, my period was 4 days, not 5 and I had one day of loads of mucus and I was tres horny.

I’m now on day 10 - no egg white mucus. I don’t have any ovulation tests left as none in Sainsbury’s and my pharmacy told me they are only selling medicine, not tests. I’ll have to order some online.

Just feels like a serious head fuck. Month 4 of trying.

When did you start the vitamins? I doubt they would have any impact on your cycle.

I'd say it's probably more the result of stress from things that have been going on recently. I'm all over the place (although I'm not TTC).

Last month. I’ve read other people blaming Pregnacare online - but it has the same ingredients as the Boots one I was taking before.

It seems strange to ovulate so early / possibly on day 5 or 6?

I haven’t encountered any issues taking pregnacare, but I do know friends who have had their cycles messed up. Hope you get some answers soon!

Not sure about pregnacare but when I was TTC I stopped taking any supplements except folic acid as they all messed with my ovulation a bit and I just thought I'd go with the flow instead. Fell pregnant v quickly so think it was the right decision x

My periods all but stopped when I was on pregnacare. I was taking them early in advance of TTC. I have had regular 24 cycles my whole life until taking these. Stopped and returned to normal. Could there have been another factor in my life at the time? None that I noted or considered at the time. I changed to Seven Seas when I was nearing TTC (and carried on folic acid on its own until then) and was fine. Why all this was I don’t know. Just noticed an issue at the time
