Short LP and B6?

Hi Ladies,

Just left the RE for day 21 cycle monitoring, and it turns out that I may ovulate later than I thought, which also means I must have a short LP.  Is anyone take vitamin B6 to lengthen their LP, and if so, how much are you taking and does it work?  Everything I've read suggests 100mg...

    I started the Trader Joes B6/Folic Acid/B12 supplement last summer after a scary short LP and it totally worked.  My ob/gyn was supportive of me trying supplements before meds and I'm happy he did.  I take one under the tongue each night, it dissolves and is sweented with stevia so it takes fine.  Totally give them a try!

    Awesome!  Thanks!  Do you know what the dosage of your supplement is?

    B6 = 2mg (100%)

    Folic Acid = 800mcg (200%)

    B12 = 1000mcg (16,666%)

    My prenatal (from puritans pride) has B6 in it too!

    Hey megawatts, after taking 100mg of B6 a day throughout my cycle for about two months, my LP increased from 8 to 10 days.

    Check out this recent thread about short LP and B6 from TTGP: https://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/52031952.aspx. Lots of great info shared there.

    GL!

    I also have short LP and after seeing all these posts about B6 I'm going to start taking it as well. My prenatal only has 1.9 mg of B6 and the articles I have read say to have 50 to 100 mg. I thought I was getting enough in the prenatal but obviously not!
