Evening Primrose Oil, late period, BFN

[ER20]

Hi, prior to TTC #2, 1st cycle this month, I stopped taking Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) and Vitamin B6 both I took to relieve PMT symptoms…

I’m on CD 31, usually around 28-31 day cycle. DTD every other day from end of AF to well past fertile window, no AF as yet, negative FRER yesterday, no PMT symptoms which I usually get a few days prior to my period.

Got pregnant 1st cycle with #1, very very blessed and not expecting the same this time.

It took till 10 days after AF was due to get a BFP with #1 with implantation bleeding on day 20 of my cycle last time (tracked it on Ovia so looking back).

So not ruling myself out this month until AF comes but wondering if stopping the EPO has effected my cycle?

I don’t track ovulation with testing but know the signs and I’m 99% sure I ovulated around the usual time.

Evening Primrose oil had no effect on the cycle lenght for me. I sometimes take it up to ovulation, sometimes I do not.
Do you track your ovulation at all?

Not with a test but I know the signs - CM and get an achey back and I can usually ‘feel’ it.

Although think I may have just got a positive on a cheapie.

Hi @ER20 Have you got an update? I'm in a similar situation. CD30 and still no period, normally get my period around day 29/30 at the latest.

I tested yesterday afternoon with a FRER and it was negative.

Trying to hold onto some hope! I haven't tracked ovulation this cycle either.

@allthingssparkly so got a faint positive on a cheapie today and yesterday, on day 3 of having to run to the toilet to be sick so fairly sure I’m pregnant. Got a digital coming tomorrow. Xx

Ah that sounds positive @ER20 apologies about the sickness though 😔 hopefully it eases for you!

How many days are you since your missed period? X

@allthingssparkly 3/4 days late. Took until 10 days late to get a BFP with baby #1.

Thankyou! With #1 I was sick from 6 weeks until 17 so expecting it to stay, also got the awful metallic taste. Xx

@ER20 That's so reassuring to know that it wasn't until days after your missed period that you got your BFP, hopefully it's it's same for me! I honestly can't remember at what point I tested with my two children, it was a long while ago 😅

Well this explains it…

Forgot the photo 🤦🏻‍♀️

Congratulations @ER20 😍😍😍
