Spotting through entire LP

[Zivic-Bubac]

Ever happened to anyone? :sad:

It started 3 DPO and I *think* my AF finally showed today for real (14DPO) If not, probably tomorrow, I didn't bother to do HPT.

I usually spot 4-5 days before AF, but never this long, what could it be? During night it stops, which confused me even more :think:
For few cycles I had an improvement and spotted only 1 day prior to AF, I was like 'yaay, I fixed it!' Right....

My Prenatals contain vit B complex (including vit B6 2.6mg or 104% daily value for pregnant or lactating women - as stated on the label)

Is it preventing me to get pg? I was spotting from my first AF and it doesn't happen only if I'm pg (happened all 3 times).

I know Vitex can help in raising progesterone, but it sways pink so NO WAY. Sorry for long post, but I'm really concerned :sad:

[rainbowflower]

how strange! I agree with you it sounds like a hormone thing, but no idea what to suggest on how to fix it...

My friend has to take prog supplements starting at 3 DPO in order just to get pregnant...and she has 3 B and only 1 G! Can you get prog supps?? THat type of bleeding would def. keep you from getting pg.

It is actually pretty common for bleeding to stop at night - some gals have less bleeding from AF at night and don't have to wear a pad to bed.

It may be a one month only thing and things will return to normal next time. :pray: that things are back on track next month.

You CAN take more B6 than that if you would like, to see if it would help. I took 100 mg and conceived DS 4...I think the idea that B6 is a girl supp, just isn't so. You may have heard that A-Gender dropped it from its girl supps list because they thought it was causing opposites.

I'm taking 50mg of B6 this past cycle and I think that it helped my LP a lot. Maybe try more this cycle?

I can confirm that!

I hope it's just a one off Zivic x

[Hobbermittens]

Weird! Maybe you should ask your OB?

I have only had spotting before AF the two months I tried to get PG with my 2nd baby, and I always wondered if maybe it was because the egg fertilized but didn't stick...?

[Zivic-Bubac]

Thank you guys for kind words and advices! :HH:
Atomic and Doula - I'll try vit B6 50 mg, I already have it in my 'home pharmacy' lol!
I might try to get some progesterone supps as well. Atomic - your friend with 3B - that is so encouraging to me, it might be a hormonal sign I'll get a boy :pray:

Hobber - you spotted before you conceived DS? Hope that's the case with me as well.

Zani huni, thank you! I hope too it's just one off (but why? lol)

I am so optimistic about this cycle I have gut feeling I'll make my next baby :luck::luck::luck:

Atomic, I've just re-read this http://genderdreaming.com/forum/showthread.php?1919-raising-progesterone-through-diet-B-6-and-prog-cream-HOW-TO&highlight=progesterone+cream
I'm not brave enough to try prog cream :worry:, I thought to try with B6 first. Do you think 50 mg would be enough or should I take recommended 100mg maybe in 2 doses of 50 mg (morning and evening)?

When I was pg with DD1, my gyn gave me Utrogestan during 1st trimester. When pg with DD2 I had menace of m/c in week 10 ( I though it was a m/c, profuse bleeding and felt exactly the same like m/c in 2001, but u/s showed HB :awe: my brave baby girl decided to stay!) so I was in hospital for a week on progesterone injections and after that was given Utrogestan for the rest week of 1st trimester.

So my experiences with Utrogestan are excellent and I though maybe to try it after O instead of prog cream? What do you think? Here is the link about it http://www.besins-healthcare.com/Public/home.php?ID=140&page=175 I can buy it in pharmacy without prescription.

[DoulaMama]

Just my 2 cents- I wouldn't self medicate when it comes to hormones. I would either go get tested and see what your prog. levels are at or try 50mg of B6 in the am and pm. I find that B6 is a great m/s helper so I continue taking it until 18weeks. You should most likely wean off it slowly, because when it comes to hormones nothing should be stopped suddenly.

I would take 50 in the morning and 50 in the evening. I happened to take 100 all at once but that was just because I accidentally bought 100 mg tablets and I was too cheap to toss them.

Doula is prob. right about the Utrogestan but then again, it's 99% for sure what your doc is just going to give you anyway if you are bleeding 3DPO. And it's much better to get it that way than via the over-the-counter progesterone creams because those may not be a standardized dosage. Personally, I would try it! Just remember, if you get pregnant while using it, you have to use it throughout the first trimester every day and not miss a day.

[XXdreaming]

I would try b6 100mg (50mg in morning and 50 at night) but if it doesn't seem to work then I would go for the utrogestan only because you said you had before, so I would do the exact same thing that your dr prescribed the first time, now if it was something you never had then I would say no way you don't know what your doing kwim? But I would try the b6 first and then the utrogestan and just do the same thing your doc prescribed with dd1 now that's what *I* personally would do :)

[Zivic-Bubac]

Thanks Melinda! :)

[Zivic-Bubac]

Thanks Atomic! So 100 mg B6 it is! :) I've started today and hoping for the best :) I will take Utrogestan dosage my gyn gave me with DD1. :pray: that will to the trick! :luck:

[Zivic-Bubac]

Doula, you are absolutely right, but it will take at least 1 month ( schedule appointment at gyn, order analyzes, wait for the results...) + I would have to pay for it. I'm too old and too impatient to wait :p I want my baby ASAP!

Hope B6 will give some results quickly, plus both you and Atomic conceived your boys while on it which means it must be great stuff! :wink:

[atomic sagebrush]

Good luck Z! Sending you a bushel and a peck of blue dust!!

[XXdreaming]

And you can have all my blue dust, I don't want it anymore lol good luck girl :)

[cemas]

Zivic, Just curious how the B6 worked???
i have a LP of 11 days which is borderline but i have long cycles...i O only after cd23 and as late as cd40. I heard that too much estrogen can delay O and also estrogen build up reduces progesterone production.
B6 can help and so i am planning to take it. was concerned abt it being girl supp.But seems that it should be OK now.

[Zivic-Bubac]

I'm afraid B6 didn't help :( I've tried it back on IG for 1 cycle and it didn't help then either. Maybe it should be taken during longer period of time? :think:
B6 scares me a bit bcoz you have to wean off of slowly so it's sort of serious vitamin lol!

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes, you need to take it for longer than a cycle!

ALL vitamins and minerals should be weaned off of slowly. Not just B6. B6 is no more dangerous than a lot of other vitamins (and in fact is prob. safer than some because it's water soluble and you just pee out anything you don't use.)

[Zivic-Bubac]

Yes, you need to take it for longer than a cycle!

Thanks Atomic, I thought so, but I'm just incredibly impatient LOL! I want some results and I want them NOW!!!! LOL!
Thank you for putting things in the perspective for me (again) :HH:

[atomic sagebrush]

I totally understand! FX and TX that the B6 will give you the same results it did for me! B-O-Y!!!
