Hello
Wondering if anyone can help? Last period was 13/01/21, I think I had a late ovulation around CD 24/25. I stopped taking pregancare 2 days ago as I haven’t yet had my period, I feel like I’ve had period aches in my lower back and stomach for 5 days. CD 31 today and still no period, negative pregnancy test.
How late has your period been after taking pregnacare if it was?
Could I actually be pregnant?
It’s driving me mad

Hi @MDH0727, I started taking pregnacare conception middle of my month in September (I think it was about 5 days before I was due to ovulate). That month AF didn't arrive until CD37. Before taking them I was usually around 29-31 days.
I carried on taking them anyway. AF was lighter than usual, and I was now in to my first full month of taking pregnacare in October. That was the month I finally conceived! 9/10 months of TTC, 1 month of pregnacare with a longer month thrown in and I'm now 16 weeks pregnant. I'm not saying it will be the same for you (I hope it is!) but maybe give it a little longer? The later AF is quite common for the first month of taking it from what I've read and experienced. Good luck!

I've started taking pregnacare this month for the first time. I also took soy isoflavones as I was having late ovulation but a short lp.
I'm cd26 and ovulated (confirmed by temping) on cd13, been having cramps for a few days on and off. Usually spot through lp but nothing so far, but keep getting bfns!
I know pregnacare can affect cycles but this usually comes with late ovulation so I've no idea what's going on!
It's helped me this cycle though as I haven't had any spotting so that's a plus at least!

@22ELF22 congratulations!! So happy for you. The aches have sided abit today so I guess it’s just a waiting game. Can’t believe it was CD37 for you. I think I’m going to wait for it to arrive then may just take foild acid as I’ve heard they can help. Heard about B6 aswel. Thank you for replying

@outback81 it’s all so confusing. I never knew I had late ovulation as twice before I’ve got pregnant straight away. So I’m not sure why it’s changed. I use the clear blue purple ovulation tests and will continue to use them I think. Good luck x
