Should I continue taking B6?

Just got my BFP 10dpo so very early days and got my fingers crossed it sticks!

This was my 4th cycle and throughout it I have been taking a 100mg dose of vitamin B6 as my previous cycles had short luteal phases so I thought I would give it a go as I read that your body expels any that you don't need.

Does anyone know if it is safe to continue taking the B6 through early pregnancy? I'm worried about just suddenly stopping taking it...

I took B6 for the same reason. Short luteal phase post-pill. I had the same worry as you. I just started taking pregnacare and stopped the b6 because I was worried it was too much to be taking. Everything went fine. I'm now 12 weeks and baby has a strong heartbeat and dancing around my uterus (from what we saw on the ultrasound)🙈😂

I was taking vitamin b complex prior to conceiving. It's not harmful according to my googling! But they dont tell you to take it either (you should be taking folic and vitamin D)

I took it until 12 weeks and then stopped as felt my placenta would have taken over. I was worried about stopping and it won’t do you any harm from what I’ve read. Take in morning though, think it contributed to my insomnia!

I stopped not long after I got my BFP as didn't want to take more than I'd need and switched to a pregnancy vitaMin.

Now 26 weeks and all going well so far!

Thanks all, I will get myself some pregnacare and switch to taking that. I've been taking folic acid, vit d and vit c along with the B6 so I'm assuming that once I start taking pregnacare I can just take that and nothing else?
