Im going to start out at 50. Thats what the lady recommended. Or do you think i should do 100?

Hi, I too have a short LP and I started on 50 at CD1.. Then at 6DPO I had a blood test, which showed my prolactin was through the roof.. I then started getting a feeling that I was preggers.. Have had a miscarriage in the past, so I was scared!! So I upped it to 100. Got a BFP and am still taking 100 a day. Also, you may read in places that you can't just take B6 by itself - that's not true. I asked my Dr and also the pharmacist who sold me the B6 and they both said you can take B6 by itself. Hope it works for you!!

Thanks dear! So are you recommending 50 or 100? Not sure how much i want to take. And if i do take 100 do i have to take a 50 twice a day or can my body absorb that much at one timw with 100?

I didn't want to start off taking too much, cause they say in high doses over a long period of time B6 can be dangerous. So I just started on the 50. I also took a Vitamin B Complex with it. So each morning I'd take a B6 and B Complex. You can't really overdose on B vitamins, as what your body doesn't want to use, it just pees out of you. When I did up the dosage I took a 50 B6 and B Complex in the morning and at night. Guess I wanted to balance it out. Otherwise I was thinking that if you overload yourself with B6 in the morning, then your body will only absorb what it needs, and then you pee it out. So when it comes to night time your body is out of B6... ... I didn't want that to happen! LOL.. So, I guess I'm saying, start with 50, and then maybe after ovulation jump it up, or wait till you get a positive and then bump it up.

I think I was just so nervous when I found out I was pregnant so I took more (not sure if I needed to, but I guess you wouldn't know until you had a miscarriage, not something I wanted to wait for again). Oh and also B6 is good for morning sickness... Of which I have heaps of now, so taking 2 x 50 B6 a day for me is good, otherwise I'd be sicker than I am now!! LOL..

Hey Guppy -- I had a short luteal phase too -- 9 or 10 days, so I started on 100mg of Vit B6 (took it all at once in the morning). The first month on my LP was 13 or 14 days (can't remember which), and the second, I was pregnant! Unfortunately, I m/c that one, but my LP stayed pretty consistent. It was 11 days in the month right after the m/c, but then back up to 13 or 14 for the months after that until I fell preggers again. (Except for the month immediately prior, as you can see from my chart...but OH and I actually think I may have m/c again that month just b/c my cycle was so bizarre and heavy, which never happens...who knows?)

They say a B-complex is better b/c the B12 helps you absorb the B6 (or something like that), but I always just took the B6 and my doc said it was fine. I haven't had much at all for morning sickness, don't know if it's the vit or not, but it sure can't hurt!

Do know that for some women, it can take a few months to make a difference in their cycle. There was a big thread about it on TTC for a while -- you might want to do a search to find it and get some more info. Vestirse was a big poster on it, and that girl knows her shit!

Good luck!

Thanks ladies!

I just got back and I bought 50 mg of B6 and I bought the B-Complex stuff you were talking about. okay so i am planning on taking 50 mg of B6 in the morning and then 50 mg of B6 at night. Question about the B-complex though, Do i take that once a day or twice a day? Also, is it safe to take twice a day? So, if im taking the Prenatal vitamin, B6, and B-Complex, it's safe? I just want this little bean sooo badly

Check how much B6 is in the Pregnancy Vitamin. I wouldn't want to take anymore than about 100mg a day in total of B6. You might find that your Pregnancy Vitamin has all the same stuff as the B complex in it - so you may not need it. Right now, I take the Pregnancy Vitamin and B6 - I stopped the B Complex cause it's covered in the Pregnancy Vitamin. I didn't take a pregnancy vitamin before I got pregnant, just folic acid, B6, B Complex and zinc. Then switched over as soon as I knew I was pregnant (10DPO).

Off the topic.. before I was pregnant, my B6 made my pee really right yellow - which is normal - it just showed that my body was getting rid of the excess unneeded b vitamins, however, now that I'm pregnant, my pee isn't bright yellow anymore.. guess I need my B6 hey!!

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

Thanks

I have actually been looking at my prenatal, B6, and B-Complex labels. I have decided that I will take 50 mg of B6 and the B-Complex in the morning (since its an energy booster and all, i figured it would be more beneficial in the morning than at night). Then I will take my Prenatal at night.

Good thinking.. At least this way you can build up to more MG if required.. I took just a 25mg B6 (within a B complex) my first cycle of trying, and the next cycle I took the 50mg.. and got preggers.. It made me ovulate earlier (by a couple of days), and I have no idea what it did to my LP as I have a baby busily growing inside now..

GOOD LUCK and I'll be watching your chart!!

I was incredibly lucky and fell pregnant in my second month of trying.. But the first month, I was like a force.. I did EVERYTHING right.. Ate right, drank water right, exercised, bla bla bla.. And nothing.. Got really so I slacked off a bit in the second cycle.. and WALLAH!!!

Being positive is great.. Being obsessed isn't.. Really hard for us googlers and babynbump-ers.. LMAO!!

Hi chart stalkers. Popped in to see how the charts are looking and see there's been some B6 talk.

I went from an 8 day LP to pregnant on my first cycle taking 50mg of B6. Like the others have said, if you get too much, you just pee it out. I was warned however that going over 100mg for an extended period of time without the balance of having B12 can cause nerve damage. How much B6 does your B-complex have in it (mine had 50). Personally, since you'll have B6 in your complex and prenatal, I'd supplement with one additional B6 50 tab as that would keep you closer to 100mg for the day.

Good luck ladies!

Thanks hun! Lets see, There is only 2 mg of B6 in the B-Complex, only 2.6 mg in the Prenatal, and then 50 mg/day for the regular B6 supplement.

There is 15 mcg of B12 in the B-Complex and 8 mcg of B12 in the Prenatal.

so lets see... i am getting a total of:

54.6 mg of B6 per day &
23 mcg of B12 per day.

Is that good or should i switch something up? Is there enough B12 to offset the B6?

yeah, isn't that ironic how that happens? I was super blessed and got pregnant my first cycle TTC...as well as my first cycle off BCPs! ...but that ended in a MC...now im SUPER anxious about doing even better...and tyring to stay more positive because for 1 it helps my mindset, and for 2, in my own personal experience, I find it very uplifting when others are so positive, so i try to set the example for those on B&B because we all know too well how TTC can cause anxieties and what not.

Wow amerikiwi only 40 days to go for you, it still doest seem that long since i remember you saying you got your bfp on here, how time flys. You must be getting super excited

Guppy I have also just started on the Bs because of short LP last cycle and low post ov temps. Started on 50mg B complex in the morning in addition to my prenatal at night which has about 8mg in it. I think the amounts you listed sound good I would personally start at 50ish rather than 100ish and increase if you need to. Starting on CD 3 should be plenty time to have an effect. Good luck hun...can x

Hi Guppy! The above numbers sound great for starting at around 50mg of B6. My understanding is the concern of B12 is primarily when you're going over 100mg of B6 for an extended period. If you were to want to up it too 100mg a day then I'd look to add some B12 in there. You can get some B-complexes that have 50mg of both B6 and B12 in it. Although you may not be planning on taking them for an extended period of time, I was too scared to stop them once I got my BFP and they help with morning sickness so you may well find yourself taking them for another nine months!
