Dear Dr. Bumpies,

AmyRM

I am spending too much time reading Dr. Google and am confusing myself. After my last cycle (only 27 days, compared to my usual 30-31) I'm re-evaluating my vitamin intake, and wondering what you are all doing?

Is anyone using progesterone cream? (I've never tried this.)

What do you know about vitamins B6, B12? (I take as much as I can, safely)

Zinc? Fish oils? Haven't tried zinc but do take fish oils)

Vitex? (I haven't tried this...should I?)

Vitamin D? (I'm not taking any but think I should..)

 

Please tell me your stories, advice...

I know I should talk to my doctor, but I can't get into see her for a couple weeks. Besides, I trust you all have better answers

Thanks!

I take a PNV daily. Yesterday I started also taking B6, B complex, and Vitex. Since this is only my second day taking it, I have no advice for you on it.

I started using P4 cream this LP because I am trying to lengthen my cycles.  So far, I am on the day that AF is due, and she hasn't showed...so it may be lengthened by 1 day.  I had a temp drop this morning, so I don't think I am KU.

I take 100mg of B6 and 1mg of B12.  I originally began taking them (but only 50mg of B6) to help with the absorption of FA.  I was diagnosed with Hetero C677T MTHFR shortly after my loss and one of the problems with that mutation is the body's inability to absorb FA.  But then I found out that B6 can help lengthen LPs also, so I bumped it up to 100mg this cycle.

I also started taking Vitex this cycle.  1 pill in the morning and 1 at night.  So far, it has bumped up my O date by 3 days!    And it is also supposed to help lengthen LPs.  Again, so far it looks like it has by 1 day.

I know there is also some more info in our TTCAL blog under TTCAL FAQs.  The link is in my siggy.
