Re: Vitamin B

I think it is B6

Re: Vitamin B

200-500mg of B6 a day is useful for extending a luteal phase. Some people suggest it's best taken in or with a B complex vitamin. Check out the labels, if you can find a B complex that has at least 200mg of B6 then take that - I hadn't been able to find one, so I take one 100mg B6 two times a day (once in the morning and once in the evening) along with a B complex.

Re: Vitamin B

I took a 100mg of B6 this morning. My doctor will be calling me this afternoon. If she recommends that I continue I will take one in the PM too like Futuremommy. I am on PrimaCare One as pre-natals and I think it has No B6 in it!

Re: Vitamin B

alrighty - i found a B complex vitamin with 100 mg of B6 in it, with the bonus of folic acid and b12...

i'm going to get it and one additional B6 vitamin with 100mg of B6 and this way i'm covered - i'll have 200 mg a day of B6...and increase to 2 of the 100Mg a day if my LP doesn't seem long enough this month...

Re: Vitamin B

My doctor said it would be okay for me to take B6 - she said ir is usually recommended for PMS. However, she said to 200mgs- I am taking one 100mg in the AM and one in the PM. My pre-natals (Primacare One) has no B6 - she cautioned about not taking too many vitamins - That is not good either. So, we will see!
