Yes B6 can absolutely wreak havoc on the cycle, delaying or stopping ovulation (and it really doesn't help 98% of the people with short LP too, unfortunately)
25 is a pretty low dose, though. But if you're noticing changes then it's best to wean off it.
Ok thanks I will. I was taking 50 the first week then went to 25. So I need to wean?
Nothing is ever an easy fix and just seem to make things worse.
Do you think I will still ovulate this cycle?
I would wean off since it's a nutrient but if you've only been on it a couple weeks it's probably ok to drop.
I SO wish there was a magic herb or nutrient that fixed things. But they literally all do stuff like this at least some of the time .
Yes, I think you'll still ovulate.
Thanks ❤
Well you said it can wreak havoc! Cd18 yesterday and has pink spotting and light brown today.
What in the world!
Maybe I had a super weak Ovulation and didn't produce much progesterone and now spotting before AF?

My chart shows no sign of O
I should have never taken anything
Looks like it is AF! 18 day cycle :(
Well I thought it was AF but now nothing. I saw a little red yesterday so I put in my menstrual cup and when I took it out there wd not much and mixed with ewcm.
I'm so baffled.
Ugh, nevermind it seems.to be starting up again.
Sorry cant delete lol
I guess it's a short cycle
Hmm yes that's weird, does seem to be a very short cycle. It happens - doesn't mean you wont' be right back to normal again next month, though.
I hope so! It's very abnormal for me. Very very light!
Im not not even sure I'd call this a period?
Two very very light days. A little more than spotting but never turned into a flow like I thought. At night nothing and today so far nothing.
Can your body try to release an egg and not produce progesterone and therefore have nothing to shed? I'm just so confused. Had a bad backache yesterday and today and took and uti strip and thankfully was negative.
I actually had some bloodwork done last week CD 15 for a regular check up and she did hormone but it probably wasn't at the right time in my cycle. Havent gotten it back yet.
That was what my period was like the cycle before I got my girl!!
Estrogen is what makes the lining grow so you'd always have something to shed. What can happen is that if your body is just asleep at the wheel basically, LOL, it doesn't really grow much of a lining. Then when your estrogen drops even lower, it can cause the lining (what there was of it) to slough off. But the good news is that it is still a hormonal reset.
I got my bloodwork back and doesn't seem good :(
I went Monday and started spotting before this light period Thursday.
FSH 37 :tissue:
Progesterone 1.5 obviously I didn't ovulate
Dhea 56
Estradiol 34
Tsh 1.58
T4. 1.1
T3 3.1
Is there any hope??
A year ago my FSH was 8
FSH can go up and down.
The DHEA is pretty low. I would consider having you take 25 mg (unless you're breastfeeding) and seeing how you tolerate it, then bumping up to 50 if you have no side effects.
I am breastfeeding. Is it not ok to use while nursing?
I guess my body is going crazy.
Would I count this as a new cycle because today would be CD 7 and my opk looks like this :(
Attachment 41806
I wouldn't use it when nursing. It is male hormones and is recommended to avoid when nursing.
Yes, it's a new cycle. Try to keep in mind that you can get a pos OPK even 3 days before O sometimes. So have attempt but also keep in the back of your mind it may be a faker.
Ok we had attempt last night. Probably not a faker and another bust cycle.
Attachment 41810
We'll see - it can be different every time FXFXFX!
I'm quite sure I ovulated early just not sure when. My temps have been high but I'm on antibiotics so I was wondering if these meds can raise bbt? I finished last dose yesterday
Either way it was likely a premature O :tissue:.:thumbsdown::sad::sad:
Attachment 41839
Maybe a little, but so can low grade infections.
I would be doing e4d just to cover.
I'm so annoyed that I ovulated so early. I took a progesterone test and its positive so it is supposedly at least 10.
I mean the bleeding (if you call it that) was so light, more like spotting so was it the start of a new cycle?
Progesterone testAttachment 41846
No line indicates levels 10 or above
Here are the 2 charts

The other possible explanation is that it was midcycle spotting and you actually didn't O early at all.
All we can really know now is that you hadn't Oed then, and you have now.
Sorry I wish this was easier.
Its just so frustrating. I keep saying ok this is the last month, and then I just can't forget about it
So many of us do that though. We set a deadline and then we're like "ok just one more month". :heart:
Just curious if you have an opinion in seed cycling?
I know you are not a fan of flax seed.
https://proovtest.com/blogs/blog/see...-through-seeds
No seed cycling. I have a big long explanation in this thread (second page) https://www.genderdreaming.com/forum...g-cycle-2.html
Thank you for that.
I appreciate it. I don't think progesterone alone is my problem...although I think my age and egg quality contributes to the imbalance of hormones. :tissue::tissue:
Why cant I listen to my body:(.
I should really give up because today is CD 5 and I have a positive opk. Why is my body trying to ovulate so early now?Attachment 41880
It may be a faker. It is super common to have false pos OPK that first week of the cycle.
You can get pregnant with an early ovulation. It doesn't mean you miss the month.
I had a negative opk yesterday. Only reason I took one because I had lots of ewcm with spotting yesterday.
I mean is it really possible with such an early O?
Also I was going to try progesterone cream? What are your thoughts on that?
Try to keep in mind you can ovulate 48 or even 72 hours after the positive OPK (and indeed I find way more people O 72 hours after positive than, say, 8-12) so that could mean you would ovulate CD 8 and yes you can get pregnant from that. WE have to take that into account with NFP, for instance...we can't just tell people it's ok to BD CD 5,6,7 for that very reason!
It's fine if you want to try the prog cream but I don't think it works. Studies have shown it's a bit of a placebo but there are people who swear it helped them.

Ok well we bd'd anyway. Thanks!
When would I use the progesterone cream and where?
Also it's so strange the last 2 cycles I have felt o pains. I had them last night. I know it's not indicative of when O occurs but I literally haven't felt them in like a year.
Any reason?
Oh yes I definitely want you to BD! You betcha!
I find O pains come and go. There really has been a terrible lack of study done on them. If there's a reason, I don't know what it is. Sometimes I have horrible O pains that can wreck an entire week. Other times I have them barely for a day, and some months, even months on end, I don't notice a thing. I just really wonder if it's to do with something like the overall levels of inflammation in the body and not even anything to do with hormones.
That's really interesting about inflammation because I pulled a muscle in my lower back so I know I have lots of inflammation going on!!
YES! As u know I have an AI disease and I often find my O pains are worse in months my overall pain is up. I thought for a while maybe my pain threshold was just lower in some months but then someone told me that inflammation may beget inflammation everywhere.
Wow yes!!!
I've never put that together!
You are so knowledgeable!!!
So if for some reason my body ovulated early, should I use the cream if I have 3 sustained high temps? I'm so annoyed at my body
