Pregnacare conception - did you have period delay?

[Katie2021]

Hi has anyone taken pregnacare conception? Did it affect your period in any way? Just hoping to be reassured it will come back!

I only took them for around 3-4 weeks and stopped taking them and I’m now on cycle day 50! I’m 19 days late on my period and still getting negative BFN.

I have experienced some very light spotting about 2 weeks ago which was a very small amount like 2 dots of pale pink spotting.

Then about 5 days ago I had light brown spotting on and off for about 2 days- could this be instead of my period?

My heads all over the place with it now, just want AF to show so I know where I’m at! Has anyone experienced this before xxx

Just to add another voice to the same story. . cycles were fairly regular at 25-29 days and then started pregnacare... Now on day 34 and no sign of period. Stopping this rubbish pill today!
So very grateful for this thread 🙏

Hi,
i have been taking pregnancare for months and I noticed it lengthen my cycle. I have an irregular one - it varies length from month to month. I stopped taking pregnancare 2 weeks ago. Currently on cd63 and no show of my af. I’m panicking here. Anyone else been through this?

Many of us - if you read back through the thread you’ll find the delays have ranged from 1 week to 79 days. Stick with CoQ10, Vitamin D3, folic acid and AF will return. I’ve not had a two normal cycles since - whereas before I had regular 29 day cycles. My cycles have been erratic ranging from 21 days to 45 days. Very frustrating considering I gave up the pregnacare back in September. Don’t panic.. you’ve stopped so it will return x

@mumof1ttcbby2 we feel you we have had the same experience! @birunthini how is it going? I have had two cycles since and the last was back to my regular 31 days. I started seed cycling from the beginning of my last cycle and it seemed to really help regulate things I would recommend!

Thought I was pregnant last cycle, even had what looked like a faint positive at 11dpo but then came on 15dpo. Fingers crossed for this next cycle 🧡

I have been taking folic acid, vitamins d3 and omega 3 since I stopped pregnancare late December.
I just want af to show itself so I can give seed cycling a go. I’ve read some amazing things about it.
it’s not knowing when af will show or if I could be pregnant that is driving me nuts. X

@Shrewdfox my cycles are now still irregular which they never have been before taking the Pregnacare which is frustrating so will try the seed cycling and take myo inositol to see if both will help regularise my hormones and cycles. I kept thinking after my second cycle since pregnacare which came when expected, that it had regularised again but it hadn’t and I thought maybe I was
pregnant but negative test and no proper bleed either. Hoping in all this perimenopause hasn’t started so hoping the hormone balancing attempts will work. It’s great to have a support network on here and wishing you all a fruitful year xx

so annoyed and gutted. really wish i'd read this thread before starting these vitamins! also had the same experience as others here.. ovulation always super regular and this month not sure even happened as no ewcm... now af is 4 days late but having cramps and worst pms. i stopped taking them yesterday after taking for 3 weeks, and switched to just FA and vitamin d, but want to know from others how long it took for cycle to return to normal? planning to start ttc next month so gutted that my normally regular cycle has been messed up at the worst possible time 😥

Yes !! They messed up my cycle so bad I ended up having a lot of investigations they even address it on there website saying it doesn't mess with periods but it clearly does . Awful products the whole brand

@loulou44 I’m so sorry you had this issue too. I switched over to FA and vitamin. I also seed cycled and everything evened out. I got pregnant in January and am now 27 weeks. Good luck my love xxx

@Shrewdfox ahh that's great to hear! xx

@loulou44 I’m keeping everything crossed that it all gets back to normal for you. Try the seed cycling too, i really think that helped speed things along xxx

My first time taking pregnacare for a month. My cycle was supposed to start 3 days ago and hasn’t. I took a test and it’s negative (it wasn’t the first urine). I am stopping pregnant as of today and see how long it takes for my cycle to return or to get a positive test. How is a company allows to still sell a product that does this? I’ve naturally had regular periods and now this happens my first time taking this product. How long has it taken a cycle to start back after taking this product? Was anyone able to conceive after stopping this product?

@Eagerlytrying64 i’m 33 weeks pregnant after having the same issue when taking Pregnacare. I came off and took folic acid with vitamin D instead. Within a couple of months my cycle a little more normal and I got pregnant. I used seed cycling to support my cycle as well. Good luck lovely xxxx

CONGRATULATIONS! Thank you so much! I will try seed cycling as well.

Another voice to the mix - pregnacare completely messed up my periods, which had been regular like clockwork before I started taking it. They only went back to normal after I ditched pregnacare. There is no way that this many women can be experiencing all this coincidentally.

I think pregnacare messed up my period too. I only took it for one (1) day last week and was lucky to have found this thread the next day. I immediately stopped taking the medictaion, as i was scared it was going to mess up my regular cycle. Now I am 4 days late. I have tested and its negative.

I just hope my period comes soon as i took only one tablet.

I wanted to give an update about this as I went through the same.
I usually have cycles between 29-32 days. When I started pregnacare I had three cycles of 41, 38, 38 days.

Then I realised that something was wrong as I kept having period symptoms but my periods were delayed. After those three cycles I stopped taking pregnacare and switched to simple folic acid and vitamin D and I also started seed cycling. The first cycle after stopping was 49 days but since then I have had two continuous cycles of 29 and 32 days. Now praying for a positive pregnancy result 🥰

I just wanted to share this so others who are getting stressed find some reassurance that your period will go back to normal once you stop them. I’m also drinking spearmint everyday. I also read somewhere on tik tok that they might increase your iron levels which can mess up with your period. Not sure if it’s true.

Wish you all good luck on your journey.

Newbie here
So relieved to have found this thread… feel like I’m going insane!
TTC for 3 months, 26 day cycles and regular periods. Started taking Pregnacare Conception max this cycle… currently 3 days late! Negative tests! It’s so frustrating and disappointing. Can I ask if anyone stopped taking the vitamins and cycle returned to normal?? xx

Hi there! Just wondering have you got any updates? I’m 1 week late and very worried! :(
