Ah! So to make sure... you took vitamin B6
and a vitamin B complex, of just a vitamin B complex which had vitamin B6. What was the dosage of vitamin B complex you used?
Sorry to bombard you with all these questions
...
And you take both the Vitex and Vitamin B's all cycle long, right? Sou
yes, I took a vitamin B6, 100mg (though I wish I Had bought the 50mg just to try it first, because i was worried it would delay O but the 100mg did end up working for me)
and a vitamin B complex that had some vitamin b6 in it.
The reason for this is that the B vitamins work best together and you don't want to overdue one of the B's without the others to work with it. I did a LOT of research on B vitamins before starting. They say no more than 100mg of B6 or you risk having too much, but the B Complex I use only has 5mg of B6 so I don't think it is an issue. Other sites I've read say that 100 plus a little from the complex is okay but not much more, and as long as you aren't doing JUST a B6 you are okay to have a little extra, particularly if you aren't getting what you need from your food.
Dosages:
My B6 is 100mg
My B-Complex is a time-released B-Complex with Folic Acid + Vitamin C.
To be honest, I already used B-Complex daily before I started B6 because it helps me keep up energy (I'm a teacher, I need it! haha!)
My particular B-Complex has b6 5mg, and b12 10mcg, plus vit C (300mg) and folic acid and a few other things.
You CAN buy a
B-100 Complex that is essentially a B-Complex but has 100mg of B6 in it already, plus the other stuff. That would reduce the number of pills you take. The only reason I didn't pick that up is that I had a hard time finding it, and then I already had a bottle of my B-Complex and wanted to be able to finish it first.
I take
Vitex from end of AF - CD1. I stop taking Vitex when AF comes until AF stops to give my body a "break". Also, be aware that the brand of Vitex matters. I saw very little results with Solaray brand, but Gaia was amazing (it's stronger, 2 pills is 1,000 mg and it's liquid inside not powder).
I take
B-Complex all cycle because I have always taken it all cycle.
The first month I tried
B6 I only did it after O. Because I was afraid ti would delay O. That was the 2nd cycle I was taking Solaray Vitex. I got a 1 day increase on LP (from 8 to 9 days). The second month I took B6 all month with the Gaia brand and that's when I got up to 11 day LP.
This cycle I am only taking the B6 after AF ends, like the Vitex. Not sure if it makes a difference. Just don't like taking so many pills when on AF because I'm already not feeling well.
Sorry for the long reply. Hpe this is helpful! Remember, everyone's body is different so you may not respond the way I did.
