B6 supplements and morning sickness?

Anyone have success with using B6 supplements to help with the morning sickness?  I've been using them for about 4 days and they SEEM to be working, the nausea isn't bringing on dry heaves like it was before.  But the nausea comes and goes sometimes, so I'm not sure I can attribute feeling better to the B6.

    I've been trying B6 supp but I'm not sure if its working either... how many milligrams are you taking.  I started taking 50mg but I just upped it to 100mg today because I got vomity yesterday (I didn't take the B6 yesterday).

    I've been taking them the entire time TTC. My doc said it would help, but I'm not far along enough to know. Lol, and since I've always taken them, I guess I won't know how bad it could be :) that was a useless post, eh? Haha...

    Well, I just realized that I was taking entirely TOO MUCH.  Apparently the max you're supposed to take while pregnant is 100mg.  So, my prenatal has 1.5mg and the supplement I was taking was 200mg (10,000% daily value - eek!!).  So, since I realized I was taking too much, I changed to supplement to 50 mg.

    I started taking it when I first found out, so I have no idea if it is making a difference because I have nothing to compare it to.  But, I haven't thrown up once :)

    After reading this post I'm buying B6 today and getting on this bandwagon. Haven't had a problem b/c it's so early but I wouldn't mind not puking.

    Just be sure you don't take too much.  B6 is a water soluble vitamin but it doesn't flush out of your system like regular water soluble vitamins do- it stays in your muscles.  The max all together you should be getting including what you get from food is like 100mg.  I actually cut my pills in half.

    I would suggest gals talk to their OBs, there aer prenatal b6 supplements or the doc can guide you toa good one to choose, remember supplements bought over the counter arent regulated by the FDA. the quantities and qualities can range from the best out there to made in china crappola so check with your doc to be sure.

    I've taken a B-supplement for a a long time. It doesn't seem to make any difference in m/s for me if I take vs. if I skip it..
