I read this whole forum and learned so much from others about b6. I appreciated the help! I am now successfully pregnant so I thought I'd write in and say what worked for me!
My situation briefly is I had a missed miscarriage at 8 weeks and ended up naturally miscarrying at 10 weeks. I am 34yrs old so I didn't want to wait long to try again(i waited one full cycle) For the next seven months I had no luck trying to conceive. ...and I was very aware of timing etc. I started charting and learned that my luteal phase was short. I read b6 can help with this so
1. I started taking a b-50 complex everyday starting at the very beginning of my cycle along with my normal prenatal vitamin. The first month of taking it i ovulated on day 14.
I also changed my diet. I learned that it is tempting to want to concentrate and "be good" for the second two weeks of your cycle, but the first two weeks are very important because this is when your egg is maturing....and if your egg doesn't fully mature you are not going to get pregnant. So all of these dietary things I did for the entire month. I learned about these dietary changes from a book called The Fertility Diet.
2. No sugar(especially soda) or carbs that can easily be converted to sugar(like white pasta, white bread, etc) - keeping your blood sugar even is very important for fertility. I ate tons of very healthy fruits, vegetables, salmon, whole grains, wheat germ, etc. Interestingly I read b6 helps to regulate your bloodsugar as well.
3. One to Two servings of full fat dairy a day - a little surprising, but they said hormones attach to fat and somehow this is important and low-fat dairy has gone through a process that for whatever reasons seem to decrease fertility...ingredients added to make it look like regular milk, ingredients added to remove fat, etc
4. No caffeine - i just decided to stop even though it seems like its ok in moderation
5. No alcohol - again it seems moderation is ok, but I figured I could deal with not drinking for a month or 10!
6. I also charted and saw those eggwhites and went for it...the next day my temp went up...perfect timing. I read the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility to learn how to do it.
Hope this helps someone! I know how frustrating it can be to hope so much every month and be disappointed. Good luck to you all!
