Hi everyone,
After going to my GP yesterday and getting no answers, i wanted to reach out to see if anyone can help or has had a similar situation.
I am 43 with a 2 year old. After losing my younger sibling to cancer, I decided last year to try to give my little one a sibling, which I knew would be easier said than done at my age! :) I fell pregnant without trying for my DD, having been off contraception for a year and having sex when we wanted. I have always had regular cycles every 26-28 days with bleeding for 3 days. This time round, I have been tracking ovulation and started Pregnacare Conception supplements, which resulted in a pregnancy in September which i went on miscarry at 7 weeks. My ovulation has been like clockwork using CB digital tests - flashing smiley face day 10-13 with a solid face showing LH Surge on day 14. I started looking for other supplements that could help and came across Ova Plus which contains Myo Inositol, which i started on 27th December. My first period after starting it on 16th January, so the usual 26 days, was very different in that the bleeding was lighter and longer for 5-7 days. I started ovulation tracking again that cycle, expecting the usual LH surge on day 14 but it did not arrive - only flashing smiley signalling estrogen. I tested once a day in the morning so could have missed the surge but have never missed it in the morning before. Between that and the strange period, that prompted me to investigate possible negative side effects of Myo Inositol and i was horrified with some reviews and forums saying it ruined a perfectly good cycle, so i stopped immediately after taking it for 34 days. I did have sex in the fertile window albeit i did not see an LH surge and now my period is 4 days late but with a negative pregnancy test every day. I am becoming obsessed and worried that i have ruined my already slim chances of conceiving and that this supplement has sent me into early peri-menopause or given me PCOS. Can anyone provide any comfort or reassurance that either I may be pregnant or that my period will come back? Has anyone encountered the no LH surge testing once a day but simply missed it and has anyone had a negative pregnancy test after a missed period but gone on to have a positive later? Any help would be so very much appreciated as I am grasping at straws for help. xxxx
