B Vitamins for pre-AF spotting and short luteal phase.

Been reading a bit about B6 potentially lengthening short luteal phases and reducing spotting, thought id give it a go this cycle and stick the results on a thread in case anyone else is doing this/contemplating doing this/done this and wants share their experience....

I have 1 DC who was conceived first cycle, however my menstrual cycle is now totally different and we don't seem to be having much luck with TTC no.2. My main concern is that I seem to be spotting every month from 7/8 DPO and my luteal phase is only 12 days. From what Ive read this seems to suggest low progesterone, so thought id give the B-100 complex a go for 3 cycles and if no luck then see the GP to discuss progesterone supplements.

My cycles range between 23-28 days, OVing between CD12 and CD17 with 4-5 days of spotting from about 8DPO. I've started taking B-100 complex from CD1 this cycle and am now on CD4, hoping for at least a more regulated cycle but preferably a BFP!

Does anyone think taking TOO much b vitamin can also cause spotting?
I've been spotting in the week before my period since last October and not long before that I started a pretty rigid vitamin routine which has a lot of b6
I mean my hair and nails have improved dramatically but this spotting is pissing me off

Actually reading your others posts it looks like most people are taking 100mg is that right?
I'm taking 11.4mg so maybe my issue is I'm not getting enough

@solice84 Yeah taking that dose of Vitamin B actually stopped all the spotting for me
