Vitamin b6 and vitex

[rainbowflower]

sorry just seen your reply!

firstly, thank you

secondly... I think doctors can be blunt like that sometimes. Think we're stupid and need to know the risks of these things... maybe some women do go in naively and not look at that sort of thing, but their words can be hurtful.

folic acid - you want mcg, not mg
vitex would probably be 800mg, is that what you meant?
B6 - great! I'm taking an increased amount after OV but not because I read it's a good idea, more because I read that increased doses can delay OV so I thought I'd take less before OV to delay OV less and more afterwards
I don't know about aspirin, I'm not taking it because I'm still BF

yes sorry folic acid 800mcg
vitex im unsure of the mg it says 20 drops and tahrs what im taking
B6 - i thought that would lengthen my LP?? and the vitex may delay it?
I forgot to add the cetirizine hydrochlride im going to take that the mornings we plan to bd
oh my this is so confusing lol.

right now to get things clear in my head again

Folic acid - 800mg allcycle
vitex - af- ovulation
b6 - 50mg all cycle
baby asprin - 75mg every other day or every third day??

timing mmmm im not to sure still what is the easiest/best
RePHesh im not to sure what to do with that either maybe a bit the day before bd?

First of all I'm so sorry you guys are having trouble with doctors. Twin pg are just more apt to be lost than singletons are and it may very well have had nothing at all to do with the state of your eggs. Many women have healthy pg in their late 30's and early 40's.

I would have you increase folic to 1200 or even 1600 jsut to be on the safe side.

Start the aspirin every third day and you can increase it if you want to, as long as you don't have any bleeding or bruising.

If the bottle of vitex says 20 drops, that's what you should stick to. They are all formatted a bit differently so best to go off the bottle.
B6 can lengthen LP but can sometimes delay O for people. Personally I think it's best to stick with one amount of B6 throughout the cycle. Your body can't take note of dosages of stuff and act accordingly and I think it gets "confused" by dramatically different levels of nutrients. It may not "like" having a higher dosage of B6 and then excrete a lot, then when you cut back on B6 suddenly, it takes awhile for your body to realize that so it keeps excreting a lot of the stuff but you're taking less, so it's almost worse than doing nothing at all. Plus, all the mechanisms that rely on the B6 get used to it being at a certain level and operate under the assumption that level will continue, so when the level suddenly increases or decreases, it can affect all sorts of things.

Please note - your body is "used" to getting varying levels of nutrients via foods, it's the high doses of vitamins that confuse it.

Im really sorry for being a pain in the butt atomic but do you think suddenly taking the b6 and not gradually starting it was a bad idea? Im taking 50mg of it. The pack is a one a day bottle of 10mg tablets so taking more than the recomended dose on the bottle but had read on here i think that upto 100mg was safe. Also im dropping the aspirin all together as im spotting and crampy on it and it makes me feel uneasy about a pregnacy sticking if im having spotting. This is my tweeked sups

Vitex - 20 drops af to O
B6 - 50mg all cycle
folic acid - 1200 all cycle (as they are in 400 tabs i will take 3 now)
cetirizine hydrochlride - one tab a day in the lead up to o

Ive also decided to be really strict on the diet so i can stress less with timing which i still can decide what to do on. I dont want to regret things later on but DO want to be pregnant soon

No, you CAN suddenly start taking vitamins, you just can't suddenly STOP them. Your body is good at getting rid of stuff that isn't supposed to be there, but the trouble is that it keeps ON getting rid of stuff not realizing that you're not taking it any more.

Everything else looks fine.

Thank you so much atomic you are a life saver.

All the spotting seems to have stopped again now so not sure the aspirin will be any good for me really

?? the aspirin is for acidity, not for thinning the blood. Thinning the blood has nothing to do with acidity, it's just a side effect.
