Vit B6? Luteal Phase Lengthening...

[Cupcake]

I have a Luteal Phase averaging 9 days which i've read it too short to support a pregnancy? So reading some more ive come across a lot of places/forums claiming vitamin B6 will help you to lengthen your Luteal Phase. Has anyone ever tried this? Successful? Not successful? Also, would i take it everyday or for a certain number of days at the begining of my cycle? I've read a lot of different things ... i've tried to discuss my short LP with my doc who dissmissed my concerns (currently searching for a new doc) ... any info or knowledge would be a great help! TIA

i actually took it the month before and the month i conceived liam, i had a 9 day luteal phase as well, the month i started taking it went to 12 days, and then i conceived, i cant remember when i actullt took it now, but as soon as i got my BFP (at 8dpo) i stopped taking it.

Hi Amy, from what I have read, yes 9 day LP is too short to support a pg. I have read that B6 can certainly be helpful. I actually started taking this myself, then read that you shouldn't take more than 200mg a day, the tablets I was taking were 240mg a tablet, so be careful what you buy. I have now switched to 50mg tablets. The other herb that can help regulate your cycle is Vitex (Agnus-Castus) but note must not be taken once you get a BFP. I have mostly read good things about this, but have also read some negative side-effects, so I wouldn't recommend taking it before seeing a naturopath. My LP is 11-days, so may be fine, but I have heard can be borderline, before my loss it was longer. If I don't conceive this cycle I have decided to see a naturopath and get the right herbs / dosages for me, I assume this may save a lot of time and stress, so I recommend that to you as well. All the very best.
