I read somewhere d-mannose can prevent pregnancy as it makes the fertilisation ability harder, I’ve been taking this for preventing UTIs while TTC. I’m so worried I’ve ruined my chance now? Is this true?

its true it prevents pregnancy. its also true that if you are TTC ypu shouldnt have taken it.
If you are still not pregnant, stop taking any birthcontrol, and try again. It takes 6–12 months even for a healthy fertile couple to conceive.
Try again. Dont stress yourself. and STOP taking d-mannose or any other kind of birth control.
No, that’s the same window, basically. What will hurt is if you forget the pills for a day or so. UTIs hurt. Do the best you can for this short period of time.

D-mannose and D-mannose binding sites have been shown to have roles in sperm-zona pellucida binding that occurs during fertilization.
That said, there is no evidence that the D-mannose you are taking to prevent UTIs can prevent pregnancy/reduce your likelihood of conceiving. If you are concerned, check with your doctor.

Don't want to get pregnant? Take birth control pills, get fitted with a diaphragm, make the male partner wear condoms. Taking d-mannose does nothing for preventing pregnancy or making it easier.
D-mannose works by preventing E. coli bacteria from sticking to the walls of the urinary system and has been clinically proven to be safe for use during pregnancy. It may cause bloating.

Take small sips of water.
Suck on ice chips.
You MUST stay hydrated.
Speak with your obstetrician and let them know you are urinating only once a day.

You need to take birth control pills at the same time each day. Even delaying a few hours can reduce the effectiveness.
