Hi ladies,
Got my BFP today. I have been taking seven seas trying for a baby and also 50mg of vitamin b6 (this is something new I tried this cycle since my last cycle I had a 7/8 day luteal phase so was trying to extend it).
I'm 10dpo today so very early but just wondering if it's still safe to take that dose of b6 and when did you all switch from conception vitamins to pregnancy vitamins? Straight away? Or did you wait a little bit?

Slightly different situation to you as I never took 'conception' vitamins. I took folic acid as soon as I stopped taking the pill/started ttc, then once I knew I was pregnant & had met with the dr for the first time (around 6/7 weeks pregnant) I started taking vitamin D as well.

I was taking folic acid and vitamin d when ttc and I got my bfp at 9dpo. I switched to pregnacare max as soon as I'd missed a period, so 15dpo.

I've just switched from conception to pregnancy pregnacare at 5 weeks as that's when the conception pack ran out!

I switched from conception to pregnancy vitamins when I had finished the conception vitamins I had a week or so left.

The easiest way to see if the dose of b6 you are currently taking is ok is to compare the amount to the amount in a pregnancy multivitamin you can find what they each contain fairly simply online. I think boots have the contents of all the ones they sell in their website.

This is all really helpful. Thank you ladies!
