My experience with vitamin B6 so far

[Coolstar]

I am glad I found this forum. Its so nice connecting with you ladies. Yesterday first time in this cycle i saw creamy CM so i am little happy, hope it changes to fertile CM soon. Baby dust to all

woohoo! i take mucinex too for the 6 days prior to ov to increase my fertile cm. it has worked really well.

Thanks moter. I am planning to start with mucinex from my next cycle since it is too late for this cycle.I would be ovulating maybe in 2-3 days and I guess you have to start with Mucinex at least 4 days before OV. This cycle i have started with B6 and i am drinking lots of water. Thank you all of you for helping me with so many tips

 

[moter98]

the mucinex should work fairly quickly. within hours.

the mucinex should work fairly quickly. within hours.

moter i just wanted to know that i have to go for regular mucinex , i guess there is mucinex expectorant, mucinex dm and mucinex extended release and also wanted to know the strength .Thanks in advance !!

Coolstar- You ONLY want just regular Mucinex. No DM and no extended release. The only active ingredient should be Guaifenesin. The expectorant is what you want. It works really well. If I were you, I would take it. It won't hurt. I began taking mine at a wonky time in my cycle, sometime straight before ovulation, and it worked by the next day.

Moter- I can't believe the "DR." didn't know what a chemical pregnancy is.. That's even worse than not knowing what kinds of problems a LPD causes. Hmm, I think the chemical would count as a period, because if I'm not mistaken, it would be the period you would've gotten, if you hadn't been pregnant. I mean, most women think it is their period, because they hadn't taken a hpt yet to see that they were pregnant, so they figure its their period, possibly just coming a few days late.

I haven't taken a test today. I've been trying really hard to just wait until tomorrow morning with FMU. I don't want to take the chance in seeing another faint faint line.

That's really good that you have such a strong positive. Strong dark surge= nice healthy egg begging to be fertilized? I hope sooo!! Sounds good so far. Keeping my fingers crossed for that rise tomorrow! Can you post a link to your chart so I can take a look?

Thank you shell! I wish you all the luck in the world. Keeping my fingers crossed for you and sending lots of baby dust your way!!

Thank you x I've just had some spotting after a very sore cramp! Whats more I have absolutely no symptoms this month what so ever! Not even sore bbs! I'm keeping everything crossed, even if it's helped balance my body this month and leads to a bfp within a few cycles I'll be happy! definitely feel different taking vit b complex after o this cycle x

You're on 4 dpo now right? There's still time. I think they say b6 is also suppose to help with pms too, so that may be why you're not feeling anything. I usually get nothing until after AF starts. When I see it started, about 30 mins after that, I feel the cramps. That's the only sign of pms I get. The day before AF, I've just noticed I get this weird feeling when I'm sitting and when I go to stand up. I've only noticed this twice, so maybe coincidence. Who knows! lol

Yes 4DPO (CD17) now and i'm not sure whats going on I spotted last night and it's continued today Only 9 days since AF left... bit confused right now and hope this hasn't screwed my cycle up!

I guess only waiting will give me the answer x

What is your average LP? Do you chart and know for sure that you're 4 dpo? And what is your usual cycle length? The reason I ask is, is it possible you could be a little further than 4 dpo? It just seems too early for IB and too early for AF unless you usually expect her this early. But as you've already started, its weird, so I'm guessing not! Another thing.. Before I started charting, I was relying only on cm. I thought I had ovulated on Jan.28 because it was the last day of ewcm. Well, 6 days later, at what I thought was 6 dpo, I had spotting. It only lasted one time. When I went back later, there was nothing there. But I was almost positive I was pregnant and it was IB. This would be perfect, if it weren't for the fact that I was taking hpts everyday until like 30 dpo, and nothing. I went to the doctor, and finally found out that I had never ovulated at all. January cycle was anovulatory, and it caused a little bit of blood to be released afterward. I went from Jan 11 to March 8 without AF.

Hiya, yes i've been charting for 4 months (it's in my signature) defo only 4DPO (5DPO today)- I used the temp adjuster for 3DPO (and it seems the dip was right as it was the same the next day) because i had to temp earlier on saturday morning as I had to be up earlier than my usual temp time a we were away for the weekend. O was definitely CD13 this cycle (same as last cycle). My LP average on FF is 10 days, last cycle was only 9. My cycle has never been more than 23 days.

Spotting seems to be less today, so far! lol Definite mild cramping going on, shall just have to wait and see what's going on - AF due this weekend, so shall expect spotting the day before (if this is not AF).

No temp rise today, boo.

Maybe today hun You O on cd 15 twice from what I see. You had a pretty ideal cycle before. It could end up being like Nov. cycle. Positive, then negative, then 2 positives, and a temp rise 3 days later. You started off Ovulating on cd 11, then moved to 13, then 14, and last month 15. So, keeping up with the pattern, sounds like today should be the day!

BFP is definitely much darker today, but still on the pretty light side. I don't have to feel like I'm imagining it there. Its plain as day. Somehow I got my dates messed up. I realized yesterday I don't go to the dr. today lol They're closed! So, tomorrow. I really wanna hurry up and go so I can check up on progesterone. My temps are higher than I think they've ever been, so I believe that's a good sign. I suppose if I have a lack in progesterone happening, it will show a temp drop, so I will continue to chart until I know its not an issue.

Here's my chart if you'd like to take a look

Yeah, my ov did lengthen over the months. I think it was the other supplements I'm taking. Then last cycle my ov was just a day late. I thought it was because of the chemical. Looks like ov is following the same pattern this month. I'm just hoping my lp will be longer this time cause last months was 11 days. My opk today was an almost positive yet so I must have ov'd last night or overnight. It's just so hard not to stress about it till I see that rise

What brand test are you taking? That's great that it's darker

I will bet you ovulated overnight also. What other supplements are you taking? It would be really nice if you could get one of those 14 day LP back Even 13.
I'm only using the dollar tree brand. I refuse to spend money on hpts any more because I am addicted to poas. I spent almost $150 on hpts in Feb when I had my anovulatory cycle, and thought I was pregnant because AF was a no show all month. I took a better pic this morning, but can't get my phone to send it through my email today. Ughh technology

Maybe just something wonky this cycle. The most I've ever really spotted before AF is the one day before it. I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Keep us updated hun.

i was taking bee pollen granules. that's when my ov time lengthened. bee pollen is supposed to help egg health so i figured it was a good thing, giving the egg enough time to mature and all. i switched to queens delight this cycle which is bee pollen, royal jelly and propolis, all good for egg health. i also take vitamin d, prenantals, b complex of course, mucinex during fertile window, and calcium/magnesium supplement. i rattle when i walk, lol!

i have spent so much money on hpt's and opk's. the first few cycles i was buying the expensive brands, but then found out about the IC's and now buy those. i do always have a stock of the FRER and of course the CB digi hpt's for when I get that bfp. I will want those tests to confirm, and especially because I am also a POAS addict.

 

[moter98]

post the pic when you can. i wanna see your bfp!

Pic is up!

I don't think I could take all of those! I think I would lose my mind somewhere along the way trying to keep up and remember every single one I had to take and what time to take it! So in your opinion, what have you seen the most improvement with, if any? That's one thing that could have possibly helped me too. I have very fair skin. I live in sunny Florida, but rarely am out in the sun. I work indoors, and only go out to really run errands. The last month, I've been going outside, walking around a little, going fishing with my DH, while I lay out and attempt to tan. I used only a 15 spf because that's all I had, and I didn't burn, my skin just soaked the sun up and turned tan, so obviously, I needed the vit D.

Opks ad hpts get soo expensive. Not to mention the fact that I had to get 2 opks. I used them for 3 months, and all 3 months, I was not detecting a surge. So I figured, I just happened to be missing it, and that I needed to buy a second kit so I could test twice a day. I never made it that far. I just gave up. I am thinking about going to get a digital to take just to confirm, but I think I will wait a few days. I'm terrified of a chemical. I may just start out with a frer. That should give me a pretty second line. Probably not much. The ones I use are 25 miu.

 

[moter98]

yep, that line is darker!

yep, i've gone supplement crazy. i'm always finding something else to take that might help, lol! i take the vitamin d cause my levels came up normal, but on the lowest side of normal it can be. plus the dr told me to start taking it. i live in MN so we don't get sun for most of the year. and even when we do i'm so fair skinned and burn easily so i always use 50 SPF.

i use the wondfo OPK's. you can get 50 of them for under $10. that way I can POAS all day long for cheap, ha!

 

[fpcco08]

Haha, wayy darker!

You know, someone actually told me about those last cycle. I wanted to try them this cycle, and forgot. I've heard that they are amazing. They have ICs hpts that will work out cheaper than $1 each? I can already tell, I'm so addicted, I will be 9 months and about to pop, still POAS!!
