short luteal phase and vit B6

[Jaxi]

Is there anyone out there who can tell me if they found Vitamin B6 to really help them lengthen their luteal phase? I have had two cycles since coming off the BCP. Both were 39 day cycles but I only ovulated around CD29/30 with a 9 day luteal phase. I started taking Vitamin B6 (200mg) about halfway through the last cycle in the hope I would get a longer luteal phase but it didn't seem to do the trick. Perhaps it takes a few cycles? I'm interested in any feedback I can get as I am sooooooooo impatient and am pretty sure the Dr would just tell me I just need more time since coming off the BCP but I'm stubborn and want my bubba NOW!

I have had a short LP and I started taking B6 and my last LP was 13 days so it worked for me..

I have taken it for a while and my LP has progressively gotten longer.

I have also take Vitex but would not recommend it as it really messed with my cycle I think it was just too strong

Good Luck

Thanks Kylie. How much shorter was your LP before the vit B6 and how long did it take before you started noticing a difference?

[Frantelle]

My LP was about 10 days and I started noticing the effects with the next cycle but I had taken the Vb6 for the whole cycle - I started from when I got my period and I think from memory I did not start to spot until 11 DPO.

I have been taking it ever since and last cycle got to 13 DPO before I started to spot.

Jaxi - I used to have short LP. It got down to about 9 days one cycle so I decided that I had to do something about it. I started taking b6 at the start of that cycle, unfortunately I can't tell you what it increased my LP to because fortunately I got a BFP instead. Good luck!!!

Kylie and AJC, you've both given me the hope I'm looking for. I was so miserable to see AF arrive at 9DPO again last cycle (this past weekend) as my temps were looking so good and I was so sure I was utd. I also haven't been getting temps consistent with approaching AF...they continue to rise and then a day or two after AF starts is when I start to see the temp drop. I'll continue taking the B6 and hopefully will notice a difference this time.

Was the opposite for me. I got a BFP on my first month of taking Vitex - Blackmores brand

Might of just been a co-incidence but I had a 9-day LP hence why I decided to try it.

I guess for you it is a matter of trying it and seeing if it helps you?

[Jaxi]

Thanks sasha. Good to know there's a few options to help lengthen the LP. I'll stick with the B6 for the next couple of months and see how I go.

AJC, are you continuing to take the B6 now that you're utd? When do you stop taking it?

[AJC]

Jaxi - I took it up until 6 weeks. I then started taking a pregnancy multi vitamin which has a bit of B6 in it anyway.

Good luck!!!

Hi Jaxi - You must think I'm stalking you!!! Good luck and I hope the B6 does its job for you THIS CYCLE.

[sloane]

hi jaxi! hope the B6 works for you this month

[Jaxi]

Thanks very much AJC, even if I'm not utd this cycle I'll be happy if I see a longer LP

Tonydayl, you're too funny!!! I can't escape you

Thanks very much sloane. Best of luck to you too

Jaxi - Is there still a chance you could be UTD?? Is that what you're saying? It wouldn't totally suprise me because your temps were looking fantastic before suspected AF came along.

[Jaxi]

Tonydayl, sorry hun. No chance. AF is out and about in all her glory. I hope I can bring you better news this cycle though. Hoping the B6 makes a difference this time.

Damn!!!!
