For those of you who take b6 to help leutal phase..
When in your cycle do you start taking it and do you take it throughout your cycle or only until ovulation is confirmed?

My dr has me taking it everyday with my prenatal. She actually has me on super B complex with folic acid.

So you take it all throughout your cycle or do you stop once ovulation has been confirmed?

Re: For those of you who take b6 to help leutal phase..
Take it all throughout your cycle as its supposed to help with the estrogen/progesterone ratio... which are hormones that are being pupmed (in different amounts) all throughout your cycle.
Just note that for some women it doesn't help right away and can take a few cycles. If you go over the 50mg a day, you should speak with a doctor about it first.
I take B complex and it lengthened my LP by 2 days. It only has double the recommended daily amount. But I have a vitamin b deficiency so Im sure that's why it helped me.
GL!!!

Because it could change your hormone balance and it's really not something you want to do unecessarily. Dr's do like to prescribe things but I've found that when TTC, some doctors really want to try and let the process happen naturally which is why they wont intervene until at least a year has gone by in most cases.

1. Over the counter remedies for luteal phase defect:
The two main over the counter remedies for luteal phase defect are vitamin B6 and progesterone cream. Vitamin B6 is generally regarded as safe and can be taken daily in dosages from 50 mg to 100mg. Taking vitamin B6 every day during the entire month will help to lengthen the luteal phase. Please note that taking mega doses of vitamin B6 can lead to serious medical issues. Be sure to check with your doctor before using vitamin B-6 to increase the length of your luteal phase to make sure it is the best option for you.
Do you think you have a LP defect? Is that why you want to take it? B/c if you LP is short, it's likely due to low progesterone.. which b6 can help but in large doses could have adverse effects. That's why I say speak to your Dr first to see if it's even necessary.

Wow, thank you for that information. Well, Im not sure. Ive been charting and it varies. The longest its been was 13 days and the shortest was 7 but this month Im not even sure if I O'd but with research decector set on FF it would show I did O and my luteual phase would have only been 9 days..and last month is when it was 7 days. So should I take b6 or wait it out? I purchased the 100mg tablet.

Well... Im only going by my own research and experience.. but I think a LP should not vary by more than 2 days in any given month. Some doctors completely dismiss it. My suggestion would be to have your progesterone tested at 7dpo. Call your doctor and discuss your concerns. Let him know you've been temping and have a leutal phase that sometimes lasts only 7 days (which cannot support a pregnany in most cases) He/She will likely suggest starting with a blood test to confirm ovulation and will also test your progesterone. It goes hand in hand. But if your LP ranges from 7-13 days and some months you dont know if you Od.. I would definitely go in to confirm that you are Oing. From there he may suggest the B vitamin or something altogether different... depending on the outcome.
HTH!!! Good luck!

Re: For those of you who take b6 to help leutal phase..
I agree with the above poster.
I know with myself I've been tracking my period for about 8 solid years, and from when I feel the O pain till my period comes is a solid 14-15 days. And the one day off thing could be depending on what time of day I feel the O pain, or when AF comes.
As far as from when I get my period until I O changes monthly which is why sometimes I have a 23-30 day cycle but the LP is always 14-15 days for me.
I would definitely get that checked out, it could be that you are calculating incorrectly, are your periods regular?

Re: For those of you who take b6 to help leutal phase..
Have you tried red raspberry leaf tea? It's really good to strength the uterus and supposedly can lengthen the LP.
Also acupuncture is awesome! I know several people who got pregnant on it.

Re: For those of you who take b6 to help leutal phase..
Any type will do, just make sure it isn't raspberry (the fruit flavored tea, it has to raspberry LEAF tea. It's pretty good, tastes like a regular black tea with no caffeine.
Traditional medicine is one brand and I think Yogi another, but the type doesn't matter just as long as the tea leaves are the only ingredients.

Re: For those of you who take b6 to help leutal phase..
I think you take them every day, no matter where in your cycle. I tried taking b6 but ever since I did my periods have been all over the place. It could just be a coincidence but I stopped taking them until I could figure out what the heck happened!
