Shorter 24 day cycles since taking Proceive Max...?

Hi everyone. Wondering if anyone else has had this. I've been a 27/28 day cycle kind of gal for years ever since I started my periods almost 20 years ago (I'm 31) barring one or two surprises and one skipped period once ever. But since this October when we've started our TTC journey I've had cycles of 26 days, then 27 when I thought it was getting back on track but suddenly I've had two 24s in a row. Okay, fine. BUT I've been tracking my ovulation with the clearblue tests too and as I peaked yesterday, had what I think is an ovulation cramp today (CD11), that puts this current cycle at another estimated 24 or 25 (Because I've had a fairly regular luteal phase of 13/14 days).

So that's potentially three 24 day cycles in a row.

Any ideas?

I'm not entirely convinced it's the proceive because I'm shit at taking them daily at best guess I'm probably taking it every other day. I bought three boxes at the beginning of October and I'm only halfway through the second box now! But maybe?

Yes I’ve also had 3 shorter cycles since using Proceive Max. I’m normally 27 days give or take a day and very regular but last 3 have been 24/25 days and also been bloated and cramping with heavy feeling in my pelvis from a week after ovulation, which isn’t normal for me. I had a pelvic scan and all fine, so I’ve switched back to Wild Nutrition to see if that makes a difference. I am 42 so cycles could be getting shorter but it seems a bit coincidental that is was as soon as I switched to Proceive. Oh and the first period after starting Proceive I had spotting for 4/5 days before my period, which definitely isn’t normal for me. Didn’t happen the last two though-phew!

…oh and ovulation has been a few days earlier too. This month was the earliest at 11 days (normally 14ish)

I came on here searching to see if anyone had the same issue. Periods have shortened to 20 days with three or four days of red spotting since I started proceive max (three months). I'm on CD1 today so I'm going to stop taking it now
