    Hi.

    This is the warning that blackmores gives regarding B6 toxicity:

    WARNING: This product contains pyridoxine hydrochloride, which may be dangerous when used in large amounts or for a long time. Pyridoxine-induced peripheral neuropathy is most commonly reported with doses of 1 g or more daily, taken for 2 months to 3 years
    1g = 1000mg = 1,000,000mcg

    So it looks to me like the doseage you are taking is well under this amount.

    As far as LP - 10-16 days is considered "normal" but 12 or more is apparently more ideal.

    Thanks for the response rayray I too read that warning, but the numbers were somewhat fuzzy in my mind, and I thought I'd just double check. I know there are plenty of women who fall pregnant with a LP of 10 or 12 days, but you know sometimes you just have a feeling about something..and if nothing else, appprently B6 helps to relieve PMS symptoms. DH was pleased when I told him that!

    I'm trying not to be obsessive about TTC...but it's difficult. I'm taking these, and am on the look out for macca powder. I've refrained from painting my nails because of some research I read about, and chose OJ over diet coke today. Hmm..obsessive or sensible?

    if it works for you Sometimes its what we believe will work, and what gets our body into the right state more than anything else.

    And once you do succeed - b6 is great for morning sickness.
