Anyone taking B6 for their luteal phase...

[ForeverYoung]

Have you found that it makes your periods less painful?

This period has been a breeze in comparison to the ones I have had for the last 2 years. It's been incredible.

Usually, for the first 2-3 days of my period, I have to be on a ton of pain-killers, or I can't even function. This time around, I was getting strange pelvic pain that didn't feel like menstrual cramps on day 1. So I switched from tampons to pads, took a couple ibuprofen, and the pain never came back.

So I'm at a loss. Have tampons made cramping worse for anyone? Could it have anything to do with my retroverted uterus?

I don't know if B6 is the answer here or what.

I'm confused. Happy, but confused.

Any insight would be amazing.

i have no experience with this but are you taking b6 to lengthen your luteal phase? if so how short was it and does it make you ovulate sooner or does your cycle just get longer?

Yes! I've been taking a B100 vitamin, and I've had no cramps!

I did read online somewhere that one of the benefits of B vitamins is helping PMS (it just didn't say which symptoms).

As for my luteal phase, it made it a day or two longer than last cycle! Last cycle, I was spotting on day 26 and my period started the next day. This cycle, I didn't spot until the day AF came....which made it a full 27 day cycle.

I started 40mg Vitex on day 12 of this cycle, and B50 complex on day 17 after my bbt chart showed that my lp was 5 days (I counted 7, but fertilityfriend.com counted 5? I think I just didn't know which day to start counting from). According to my chart for this cycle, I'm already 6dpo! I'm not entirely sure that I've ovulated since my chart is strange this time (my temps dipped 3dpo and have stayed lower), but fertilityfriend.com still shows that I have. I'm praying and hoping that the vitex and B50 complex are helping!

Sidenote: I considered taking just B6, but I read so many things that said that the B vitamins really need to be able to interact with other B vitamins to be able to do what they are supposed to, so I decided on the B50 complex.

Good luck!

Yes, I am taking it to lengthen my lp. But I just started taking it this week, so I won't know for awhile.

I don't know if it's had an effect on my lp yet, still on my period for the next day or two

I've read you're supposed to take it with vitamin c, so I take my prenatal, vitamin c, and b6 every morning.

I started with a 100 mg since mine was so short. I'll know in a few weeks if it worked.

Good luck with it
