Vitamin B6 - Lengthen luteal phase or increase progesterone

[struth]

Hi girls...just a quick update...I am now on cd6...nothing exciting here! I stopped the bvits on monday once af showed up. I can't believe how much better I feel. I was only on the bvits 2 months....first one was great. Second month I felt terrible...very bloated and constipated...sorry for tmi! As soon as I stopped I felt better and my body feels back to normal.

Who know what my cycle will be like...only time will tell!

Ebony...I am going to check in on you...waiting for your bfp!
Lyns...how are you feeling???

Baby dust to all....

Hi everyone

Just a wee update for you. Some funny things are happening with me! On cd9 just now which is normally very boring and uneventful and I'm just waiting for O to come. But last week after AF left I had another spell of spotting then some red CM which I've never had. And since then I've had cramping on and off too. Wish I knew what this means! Its really similar to pre AF cramps but totally at the wrong time of the month. Very confused.

Also, was at the dr today and got the results of my progesterone levels...at 5dpo they were 22. She said that they usually like it to be more than 30 so she is referring me to the Assisted Conception Unit. I suppose this is a good thing but I'm sad that we officially need help.

How is everyone else? Ebony, I'm hoping that the vitamin b builds up in your system over the months and you'll see better results this month. Mom23 when are you due to O? Big congrats to fallenangel, you give the rest of us hope!!

This seems to happen to me every month...except I get spotting with the cramping. I am cd10...I had a regular af cd1-6...then the last 3 days just a but of spotting...but I usually get a few little cramps and then within an hour spotting! Last cycle (2nd cycle on bvits) and the cycle before I tried bvits i spotted until cd 17 or 18 and then Oed cd23-25! I had a mirena taken out last April...since then I have had midcycle spotting before O. I am not sure if it is related to the mirena or not...I never had it before the mirena which I had for about 18 months!
When I had the blighted ovum in Oct my doctor said my progesterone was great. I have an appointment next week so I will discuss all the spotting and the 3 cps! I guess I'll see what she recommends then!

Other than that nothing going on...I'll start the opks today...but I really don't expect O until at least cd20!

baby dust to all!!

I have spotted on cd9 for the last two cycles too - nothing much, just some brown CM near my cervix. Not sure what that is - is certainly not my O as that tend to come much, much later. I just put it down to one of those things...

Odd that we all have it though....!

Hi ladies,
I had a similar situation.I have been TTC for about 4 months now with no success. For the last three months I've been spotting about 6-7 days on and off before AF arrives (mostly brown blood after BMs). I also bought the CBEFM when we decided to start TTC and I've been getting the egg every month and lots of EWCM around that time (so I assume I'm ovulating). Earlier this month, I had good timing with BDing--we were able to get in three good days before I ovulated and I'm charting my temps so I saw they were inclining and good. Then 3 DPO I experienced horribly bad cramps on my right side (I've never felt anything like them). Really uncomfortable and then the next day had some small spotting of red maroon blood. Then the next day, light pink mucus followed by more cramping on the right side. Basically, I was feeling lightly crampy all last week on and off and experienced spotting every other day (all has been very light tan or light brown) until today when I had dark brown mucus after a BM.My temps have stayed high since my ovulation. I thought I may be pregnant and this could be implantation but I took a home preg test yesterday morning and it was negative. I'm now thinking maybe an ovarian cyst burst? And I wondered if Vitamin B can cause this in some women. Ladies, i've been taking vitamin b6 50mg by itself with my prenatal vitamin. Should I change to taking the B50 COMPLEX WITH my prenatal? Will that be too much?

I take it as a complex and also take my prenatal. x

Thanks ovenbun. I am going next week for a full physical so I will ask her about it then. She doesn't even know about the last 3 cp's...maybe she will have a different opinion!

I've heard quite a few times that doctors don't take it seriously. When I went to my 1st fs appointment I told them they took my blood at 3dpo not 7dpo and they looked at me like I was nuts and told me not to chart and not to do ovulation tests. x

 

[ebony2010]

Well I have a bit of an update. I was takng 50mg of vit b complex for 2 cycles and thought AF was here so upped to 100mg a day. Anyway AF was light for a day then just went brown and I thought it was weird as I'd been feeling a bit sick and my boobs were still killing me which never happens once af arrives.

So I tested yesterday and got a faint line on an ic. Then today I did another ic and a superdrug test and got lines again. My temp is still increasing daily so I think I might have got my bfp. I'm only 12dpo so time will tell but so far so good. x

Hi ladies, I was very happy to stumble across this thread. I read the first 120pages and jumped ahead.

My LP is only 7 days! Tried the B6 and Bcomplex and now I'm going to start the B6/B50 combo tomorrow. Hoping I can get my LP to at least 10 days.

Just wanted to pop in and say hello!

Hi Party of 5! I am in the same boat as you! My luteal phase is 7 days as well. I actually went to see a doctor this morning as that is way too short to sustain or actually get pregnant.... I had some blood drawn and was referred to a specialist today so hopefully I can get some help! I tried B complex but they didn't help at all in my case.

Hopefully they work for you! How long have you been ttc?

Hi party of 5 (loved that tv series). I had an lp of 7 days, took 50mg of b complex and got my bfp. Good luck x

Ebony - you have a ticker!!!!! How exciting. Off to your journal in a mo....

Well - this morning I entered my temp into FF and it took away my crosshairs. I was due to test tomorrow (11dpo) but have had a nagging feeling that I hadn't O'd when FF said I did. I just felt it was all wrong - I got to 10dpo (today) with no spotting at all plus I never got a positive opk. So....it looks like I haven't O'd after all.

So rather than 10dpo I'm now cd40 and I'm going to ring the drs....

 

[curiouscat6]

ebony,
did you have any spotting before taking Vitamin B50 complex? you've said you had a short LP but I was wondering if you had spotting too? and did B50 stop that if so? or no.. right now I techinically have an LP of 12 days but spot for half of it.. I have an appointment with an RE next month to get some tests done and I'm really scared. I have no idea what's going on with my cycle--this stuff just started three months ago. before then everything was fine...ugh!

 

[Party of 5]

Good morning ladies,

Ebony, congrats on the BFP!!! I love hearing good news. Maybe it'll work for me.

I've been ttc since last April so just about a year for me. My LP dropped from 9 days to 7 days in the last few months. Was taking B6 and B complex but now I'm going to take the B50 and see if that helps. How long were you ladies on it before you noticed any change?

No. I just had an lp of 7 days so very short. Isn't spotting to do with progesterone? x

The 1st month I think everything felt magnified. I had a much stronger ovulation which included ov spotting and cramps even shooting down my legs. My lp went up to 11 days. The 2nd month I thought it wasn't working so well and got my bfp so.... x
