    B6 VITAMIN FOR SHORT LP?

    Morning Ladies I used a cbfm this month after much confusing as to when i actually ovulate realised i ovulate quite late(day 19) with a short luteal phase.Heard you can take b6 vitamin is it best to take a vitamin B6 complex or with something else to avoid an overdose? Many thanks x

    the b6 contained in the complex is usually too small to have much effect unless you get the "B50 complex" or something like that which contains 50mg of each B vit.

    you have to be really careful when taking vit B6 as taking too much can cause permanent nerve damage. From what I've read up to 100mg is safe, but I'd start at a small dose (i.e. 30mg) and then increase it as necessary.

    how many days is your LP?

    Also, maybe think about a progesterone supplement? I don't know if you are familiar with that. I am also interested to see how many days your LP is.
    (2002) (2005) from 1st marriage. TTC since Aug 2010- Dx: low sperm count and 1% normal sperm. We are giving up and moving on with a baby-free life.
    UPDATE: surprise bfp in Feb 2013! It's a BOY!

    NEVER GIVE UP HOPE!

    Thank you ladies I have started on 30mg(3x10mg) and will increase to 50mg(50x
    vit b complex) next month.I was taking 10mg for pms but stopped last month because not sure if it interfered with swayin?. Last months LP was 6 days and i had 3 days of spotting before i had AF.(Was very confused as you can tell from my previous posts,also seem to have h a wk of ovulations symptons-could that be because my body was trying to ovulate?) I have heard of the cream you apply on the inside arm etc is that right/it?Would be grateful of any help x

    is that 6 days before the spotting started?
    I think the cream can be difficult to use as you need to apply exactly the same amount each day especially if you get pregnant (you'd need to keep it up)
