Pregnant women who can't make enough insulin during late pregnancy develop gestational diabetes. Being overweight or obese is linked to gestational diabetes which may already have insulin resistance when they become pregnant. Gaining too much weight during pregnancy may also be a factor.

I'm wondering if taking Ovacare tablets can mess with my period. I ended up taking 10 of them and now I'm worried they might cause a delay. How much of a delay could I be looking at here?

Ovacare is generally not expected to delay periods. If you or the person taking Ovacare experiences a delay in menstruation, it could be due to other factors unrelated to the supplement. If the delay persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, its advisable to consult a healthcare provider for further advice and evaluation.
