Vitamin B6 - Lengthen luteal phase or increase progesterone

[HWPG]

Oops also meant to reply that in addition to my prenatal, I think I'll start taking a B complex. My luteal phase tends to be 12 days. If B6 can add a day or two to that who knows, maybe it could help...

I think 12 days is ok, right? I think it isn't a "luteal phase defect" unless it's below 10 days or so??

Still, seems like around 14 days would give the body more time to send out those "I am here!" hormones if fertilization has happened, before AF has arrived.

Hi! Yes, they say that less than ten days is a defect; mine's about 11 but I have some breakthrough leading up to af, so I say anything that can tilt the results in my favor is something I'm willing to try!

Hi! Thanks bean, yeah I know u shouldn't worry! We have an appointment booked in for Tuesday with an orthopaedic peadiatric specialist at the children's hospital! Ive had time to process the possibilities which I think is helpful, I know it's temporary and fixable so I'm a lot calmer about it all now!
I think I've reached 10 dpo!!! I think I ovulated on CD26 as I had a few days of ewcm (not as much as usual!) but that would make me 10dpo not getting my hopes up too much but will test on Saturday if AF doesn't show!!

Good luck Joey and Hasti!! Everything crossed.

Joey - sunflower seeds are meant to be good for implantation. And relax.

LLPM - glad your appointment came through. Fingers crossed all's fine but if not as you say it's fixable. Keep us posted!! Got everything crossed for you. Have a good feeling.........

 

[LLPM]

Thanks! Yeah I'm trying to take it day by day and not get too excited every morning AF doesn't show up will let you know how it all goes with maggie. I figured next week will either be really good or really crap! Lol.

thanks for that info i have been eating a lot of sun flower seeds since it is summer and hd plays softball so always eating seeds.

 

[LLPM]

Wahoo...11dpo!! :-D well at least I think so! Not 100% certain but am quite confident! Yay! No sign of AF as yet, going to test on monday morning if no AF before then. Fx'd!!

 

[Bean66]

Have everything crossed!!!

I go on holiday tomorrow but I'll keep checking back when I can get on wifi.

 

[LLPM]

Thanks bean! Trying not to get hopes up but you know how it is! Reading into every little potential sign. I've felt queasy since I had gastro but put it down to a sensitive stomach after vomiting! But that was 2weeks ago, also had loads of creamy CM for that last 2days which is unusual for me. But I'm also a bit crampy so AF could be coming! But not going to believe I might be pregnant till I see those 2pink lines.

LLPM - woohoo! nice luetal phase (<-- haha, how often do you hear that? )

 

[LLPM]

Thanks hwpg! I'm second guessing myself now though! Convinced I must have ovulated later. Too good to be true and no evidence to back it up (no charting or OPK's!!) I think I just have to trust my instincts that I've been doing this for 8months, I think I'm pretty in tune with my body now!

 

[LLPM]

So I woke up this morning feeling totally rubbish! I have cramping so expecting AF but i am so unbelievably nauseas it's crazy and this morning i had a fairly loose BM (sorry TMI!!) I couldn't even change DD's dirty nappy I thought I was going to puke! This never happens to me - the thought of putting anything in my mouth makes me queasy! I wasn't sick at all with the girls so maybe I'm just getting sick AGAIN!!! I wish I knew what's going on, feeling tired and frustrated, I was feeling really good upto this point, but being on CD37 I'm feeling over the waiting game and just want to know either way! Another good friend announced a pregnancy yesterday and I just feel down and left behind, just want to know if our turn will come!

 

[HWPG]

Llpm, have you tested? I mean, I'm not saying you should, but I'm not saying you shouldn't... But it's never truly neg until af... I don't know what to say!

 

[LLPM]

Tested yesterday arvo!! BFN! But wasn't expecting a positive if you know what I mean. I didn't get a BFP til 14dpo with the girls so wanted to wait til Monday but caved yesterday. Lol. I used my last test too... So will have to nip to the shops and buy some at some point. It's actually nice to not have them in the house, then I'm not tempted! Every hour AF stays away the more hopeful I get, silly I know!! Oh well I guess time will tell. Are you in Australia hwpg??

 

[LLPM]

Aaaah!! I'm going nuts here!! Just when I thought I couldn't get any more frustrated I have EWCM!!!!! What's that about?! Maybe I haven't ovulated yet after all, but would it really get delayed by 2weeks??

EDIT: so after looking online it seemed ewcm is a sign of AF! still cramping too. X

 

[Bean66]

It can be a sign of AF of a BFP. I really feel for you. I did get cramping and spotting before my BFP.

What cd are you? What was your longest cycle before this one?

 

[LLPM]

I know that's why I'm frustrated I think - its the not knowing! I'm on cd38, I'm now 12dpo if I got my O day correct, which I'm fairly sure of going off CM which for me is usually pretty reliable. We'll see - I'm trying to wait til Monday to test again!
As far as cycle lengths go, my longest ever was 47days but that was the one when I started charting before I had my first period after weaning so it didn't really start at cd1 if that makes sense. Lol. But apart from that one it's 37days.

 

[LLPM]

Bean, how bad was your cramping? Mine is so bad, way worse than usual AF cramps! I feel like my uterus is going to jump out and I have stitch like pains ad gassy too. I'm paranoid AF is here then I go to the loo to check and it's just CM! Going to go ad get some pregnancy tests tonight and take one in the morning if AF doesn't show up overnight.

 

[HWPG]

H and good morning!
I'm I the States, actually, but love to read the small differences in our languages one of my fav parts! I'm feeling really sad and down today - it seems like everyone is having something - cm, cramps, soreness, etc - and I have a big fat nothing. I mean, zero anything out of any ordinariness. On top of that, I'm going out of town tom for work for ten days, right over when af arrives. So, I'm depressed about af, depressed aobout being away, and depressed about another month gone by. Not getting any younger here.... But to be clear, this does not take away for how positive I am for all of you! Luckily, I know you all know how I'm feeling and I don't have to over-explain. Ok, off to pack. Bringing tampons... Ugh! (btw, I'm 9dpo).

 

[Bean66]

LLMP - have you done a OPK? My cramps came and went.

HWPG - stay positive. 9dpo is early!! You might not have even implanted yet!

Joeys - how are you?

 

[LLPM]

Well 13dpo and a BFN...but no AF either! Woke up feeling more queasy and a bit sniffly, just don't know what's going on!
Did think about taking an OPK, but don't have any at home.if I'm not pregnant then there must be something else wrong with me to explain the nausea...it's quite bad, no vomiting just don't feel good at all!
