Vitamin b6 and luteal phase

[MmmMalbec]

I took seven seas trying for a baby vitamins twice and both cycles (completely separate months) I ovulated over a week later than usual. But I only have a 10 day LP with some spotting before currently so I'm trying to lengthen it. I think b6 caused the delay in ovulation but I've read it has a lot of success in extending LP. I'm wondering whether any one took it after ovulating only and saw an increase in their LP?

B6 never really helped much with LP for me and it also delayed ovulation, but I had success with taking high dose vitamin C. Small clinical trials have seen promising results. I took 1000mgs daily (boots do a 500mg tablet) with a B complex, folic acid and vitamin D daily, then 50mgs B6 after ovulation until my period started (though TBH my period never started the cycles I took the vitamin C as I fell pregnant!) I would then move onto the pre-natals once pregnant, taking those in the evenings and just one high dose vitamin C in the mornings, so only 500mgs of vitamin C daily once pregnant (plus whatever is in the pre-natals).

Thanks for that, really useful.

I started with 200mg of vitamin c after reading the study but I was a bit nervous to take such a high dose straight away! I've got some 1000mg ones from asda that I was hoping to move on to. Did you start straight away?

Did you not find that the b6 in the b complex affected your ovulation then?

I'm taking vitamin d and folic acid too.
