For those who've taken vitb6 / know people who have ...

How did you find it effected you / them?

I doubled my intake this month from 50mg to 100mg (trying to increase lutheal phase). With 50, my LP increased by a day or 2. On 100mg, some weird things r happening. My bbs have got sore much later than they usually do. And I feel like AF is coming - but if I start spotting tonight, that means I'm spotting earlier than I ever have on vitb6. Isn't is supposed to make AF a bit later - and therefore, spotting later, not earlier?

Any experiences of this cer-azy vitamin appreciated. Did any of you get AF early when you took it / doubled your intake cos I swear is coming, I can feel it in my bones. x

So many of us seem to have funny experiences with vitb6 - i know that loopylew found it did nothing for her and i think tansey said she was going off it altogether - but wasnt it porkpie who got her bpf the month she started taking it?

its so confusing.

i have taken 50mg for the last three cycles - in the hope that it would stop me spotting 2/ 3 days before AF. i have seen a difference and my spotting has reduced. this month i only got a small amount of spotting in the morning and AF red flow here by afternoon - so I do think it has helped me. since going on it though I find that seem to get headaches every evening for the first half of my cycle (which is a bit weird), my wee is constantly bright yellow - which is strange for me cos i drink so much water so never usually get coloured wee (TMI sorry) and my boobs stay sore the whole of the tww - whereas they usually stop being sore after 7dpo.


so 50mg seems to be working for me - although i have a fertility appt. on the 21st so was considering asking doctor for their thoughts about upping it.

I really hope the spotting hasnt started hunni and that this is it for you - you deserve it.

I'm taking 50 mg a day at the moment and have been for just over 3 months. My LP is fine (usually 13 days), but I always spot a few days before period so thought it may help with that. For the first couple of months it did, I started spotting one day before period instead of a few. But this month has been weird. I spotted for a day before my last AF, but continued to spot after it until something crazy like about day 13 I think - which has never happened before. And now AF should be due on Monday, but I started spotting and cramping yesterday, 10dpo. (I tried to reassure myself yesterday that it's implantation this time but lets face it, that witch is on her way.)

So now I'm not sure if this is an effect of the vitamin B6, or if it's just my body playing up generally...and that's the problem really. I don't want to stop taking it in case it's helping, but I don't want to keep taking it if it's making things worse...

Sorry, I haven't really given you an answer, just added my confusion to yours!

I was really hoping to test this weekend and now I'm just really down.

Hope you're ok and still warding the off.

Sorry Trixie

I've never taken Vit B6 so can't really comment. Didn't want to read and run.

Hope you get a sensible answer (unlike mine) and get your very soon.

Hi girls,

can you explain to me the LP thing what am I looking for and what does it mean?

I have been taking a B Complex(brewers yeast and Molases) for a few days and will probably continue didn't know that this affected LP!

Soz for ignorance

I took 50 then 75 mg of B6 - on 50 nothing happened and on 75 my spotting started even earlier than before! I have now stopped taking it as it didn't help at all. xx

Pixielou - luteal phase is the time between ovulation and period, when your bean will hopefully implant. It needs to last at least 10 days or your womb won't be ready enough for the bean. 14 days is good.

i took B6 for 2 months, first month did nothing on 50mg, i then upped it to 100mg and it lengthened my cycle by 12 days but didn't change my luteal phase so i stopped. Swopped to Agnus Castus which has increased my lutela phase from 5/6 days to 7/9, at least a step in the right direction. Might try Progesterone cream to see if that does any good for my short luteal phase

Thanks so much girlies. I never got any spotting in the end (not yet anyway) so bit of a false alarm. I did find vitB6 50mg increased my LP and stopped early spotting so was a but alarmed last night when I thought I was gonna start spotting cos thought increasing to 100mg might be a step backwards. But - phew - nothing so severe knicker watch this weekend! xx
