Vitamin B6

TTC #2, just starting cycle 5. This is all new to me, as DS was an accident and I assumed it would all happen easily again.

I'm still breastfeeding a little (DS is 2.5yrs) but my periods came back when he was sixteen months and as far as I know everything in that department is working ok.

Had a BFP last month, but then AF arrived three days later.

Anyway, onto the point. I've been recommended to take Vitamin B6 to help with migraines and have since been reading at how they can help with conception and morning sickness, which I had really badly in first pregnancy.

Everything I've read says I should be taking 50mg a day, though the tablets I got from Boots are only 10mg and they say "do not exceed the stated dose".

Should I chance it and take 50mg? Could it hurt me or my bf ds?

Thanks for any advice!

I've just got my bfp, and am crediting my vitamin B6!!

I don't know about the otc vitamins though as I saw a kinesiologist. I was taking quite a hefty dose though as I was very deficient. My kinesiologist takes one drop a day, and I was taking 50 drops for one month, and then 400. I need to go back in now, but holding off until after Christmas I think. My vitamins are a liquid, hence the reference to drops!

hi BorgLady i started taking b6 2 month ago to help my luteal phase lenght as it was too short (apparently issue for conceiving) and also to help my PMS. i got mine from Holland and Barret and they are 50mg

so Holland and Barret it is :)
Good Luck

I just washed down my first 50mg Vit B6 tablets. With beer. And I took 4.

I hope they work. It says 50mg is about 3000% RDA.
