Vitamin B6 - Lengthen luteal phase or increase progesterone

[Leinzlove]

ONE MORE WEEK, Tella! How are you feeling? I can't believe how strong you are. And you're very sweet and supportive. I already know that you are going to be a special part of my life.

I'm feeling good, get extremely hungry e early in the morning and temps are looking good but that could be just the progesterone.

I feel the same about you, we will give each other energy and willpower to push through till we both have those rainbows and parenting challenges.

:mwah:

Hello! I'm new to this forum and fairly new to the world of baby making. This is our second month TTC. The first month I almost don't even count as I was going off the calendar method and most likely completely missed my O date.

The second month, I bought a pack of OPK off amazon and didn't get a +OPK until CD17 on a 27/28 day cycle. We BD'd on CD8, 11, 13, 16 and 18 during what I thought would be my fertile window, and what actually ended up being my fertile window.

Then I started reading about LPD, realizing I only had a LP of 9-10 days.

My AF is supposed to start tomorrow, so I'm not holding my breath due to the LPD but I'm curious that I'm not spotting as much as I normally do before my AF.

After doing a lot of reading, I decided to purchase a B6 and BComplex Vitamin to hopefully help my next cycle if we get a BFN of AF shows up tomorrow.

Makes me feel so much better to read about other women in this situation that are able to sucessfully get a BFP with LPD.

I had an LP of 6 days. I took B complex 2 cycles ago starting at cd 1 and it made me O really late. I was cd 50. So I got fed up and stopped taking it. I decided to take vitex and I ov'd 4 days later. I had a 9 LP.

Last cycle I took vitex from cd 1. AFTER O, I took B complex along with vitex and I had a 14 day LP.

I plan on taking Vitex after O this cycle and 1 tablet of B complex every second day

Definitely sounds like a great plan ladies! Hoping this month is the one.

Hi ladies!
just wanted to share my experience with vitamin b complex...

this is my first full cycle taking two b50 complex capsules a day (so 100mg) and already i've noticed:

* O'd on CD18 instead of CD22
* 8 day average LP up to 11 (and counting)
* ewcm for 4 days around ovulation instead of only ½ day 4-5 days BEFORE O

FX hoping this will do the trick!

Hi Ladies,
I have been reading through a little bit of this thread and it is encouraging to read the success stories!

My cycles have always been irregular (45-60 days long) but when I charted during ttc #1 I had consistent LP of 12-13 days. This time TTC I did not want to wait 45-60 days in between cycles so I started taking 1000mg vitex daily to regulate my cycle. Well, sure enough, first cycle off the pill was 35 days, the bad thing was my LP was only 8 days. I thought it just had to do with coming off the pill so I continued with the Vitex. 2nd cycle was 32 days long, but LP was 7 days. What the heck? I was so depressed and confused at why my LP had shortened so much when it was consistent before and when I am now taking Vitex (I thought it was supposed to lengthen LP?).

After reading about B6 I started taking it this cycle (started CD4-didn't get to the store until then) 50 mg daily along with the Vitex and my prenatal vitamin/mineral pill. I am hoping this will do the trick to lengthen my LP so I can get my bfp! I am now CD 9 and I noticed my temps the past few days are slightly higher than my normal range (I usually have lower temps, 96.3-97.0). Would B6 have an effect on this?

Does anyone know if taking the B6 with the prenatal is good enough or do I need to take it with a B Complex pill?

I'm new here but have been reading the thread from the start for about a month! It has filled me with much hope and positive vibes. I purchased some b100 complex from H&B and started then on Cd4 this cycle. I have definetly had less spotting than usual and no clots. For the last 3 cycles I have spotted brown old blood everyday from ovulation to my period. This is only when I wipe/check my cervix but this month although I have still had it most days it is far less..... FX it continues to work and maybe even stop next month!

Hi everyone.
I know this is an old thread but it has been very helpful to me so thanks.
I started taking a b 50 complex at the beginning of my cycle because I had an 11 day lp with 1 or 2 days of brown spotting before af.

Well, on 10dpo I started spotting and was disappointed that my lp hadn't lengthened. However after 2 days the spotting stopped and I am now on 15 dpo with high temps, no spotting and no af. I have never hap spotting that didn't turn into af.

I am too scared of bfn to take a test. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Could the b complex just be causing a much longer lp?

I'm going a little crazy.

Thanks in advance

I started b6/b12 about 6-7dpo. I have an 11 day luteal phase. 12dpo I started spotting brown at night (usually just start bright red bleeding right away in the morning). AF came the next morning so it was delayed a bit. 1 extra day so far! We will see about next cycle but hope I get a bfp instead!

I think I have a short lf too. I'm still breastfeeding my 2 year old, am 38 years old and ovulated late when I used tests this month. Five days later my menstruation came. I had a miscarriage two months ago. I live in Holland but google sent me here I've read good things about vit b. But how soon can I expect results? I take it for 1 week now, started 2 days after menstruation ended.

Hi, I know this thread is old but I just wanted to say a huge thank you!
My background, Iv been off the depo 15 months trying to concieve, I got my cycles back on April this year. Regular cycles with positive opks right in the middle. November I went to the dr's who did blood tests, my progresteron was only 18. She refered me to a fertility clinic.
I saw this thread when googling how to boost progresterone. I started taking vitamin b complex on cd4 this cycle. I took 100 dose daily. We stopped trying this month as we though is couldn't happen until I had seen the fertility specialist. We just bd every 3 days for fun instead. I had more bloods done on cd21 and my progresterone had boosted from 18 to 23!! Not only that yesterday at 10dpo I got my BFP on a clear blue
Digital!! I truly believe he vitamins helped. So thank you so much for the info! Praying for a sticky bean now : )

Hi all. I know this is an old thread but hoping anyone out there can help?

We're TTC#2 & while trying for our daughter we miscarried 3 times. I believe it's because I ovulate very late into my cycle - normally CD 22 - 23, I only normally make it to DPO 8 before AF arrives.

I want to start taking B6 & B12. I can buy a B Complex which contains 50mg of each B vitamin. I'm just not sure if that's enough?

Or I could buy just plain Vitamin B6 200mg & plain Vitamin B12 250mcg? Would that be too much?

Any help appreciated!!! Thank you so much
