B6

aloha5736 · September 2015

I have looked everywhere for the answer, but cannot find one! I have a 26 day cycle. This month I ovulated on day 17. I started taking B6 after ovulation. I am 3 days late and going on 4 tomorrow for AF. I decided to stop the B6 3-4 days ago. I've never had a 28+ cycle in the last 8 months. Does anyone know if this B6 is this powerful LOL? Thanks for helping me out.

Sorry important part....Of course I have tested and received several BFN.

How long is your LP normally? What CD do you usually O? It could be that you ovulated later than normal this cycle, giving you a longer cycle than usual and making you appear late when you really aren't. Your cycle can change at any time for any reason and you're regular until you aren't.

Were you taking B6 to try to lengthen your LP or for another reason? I have a very short LP and the research I did on B6 is that there's no scientific proof that it lengthens LP, but if it does, it doesn't work for everyone and it can take a few cycles to fully kick in. So I highly doubt that you taking B6 for a week or so really did all that much to mess with your cycle.

I think it's much more likely that you ovulated later than you normally do. Are you temping to confirm ovulation? How long is your LP normally? LP's are normally between 10 and 16 days, so if you ovulated on CD17, you could still have a few days before AF shows up.

I am usually CD 14-16. My cycle is always 26-27. I have never had a 28+ day cycle, the only thing different is I took the B6. My LP is 9-11 usually. Haha of course when I start TTC my cycle will go hay wire

lalalorelai · September 2015

So you're temping? You know for sure that you ovulated on day 17? And now you're 11DPO? Could we see your chart? Maybe it will help!

You're on CD28 or 29 now? Based on your O date and longest LP it seems like you're right on schedule and not officially late yet. Did you confirm O by temping? A cycle variation by a few days is pretty normal. My cycle has been 24-29 days and other women here have cycles that vary even more than that.

Everyone has a regular cycle until they... Don't. Have you been temping to confirm ovulation?

aloha5736 · September 2015

Yes tempting. This is my 3rd cycle and 1st electronically. Was using the temp charts on paper lol

aloha5736 · September 2015

I guess I am more weirded out that legit have never had a 28 day let alone 29 day cycle. Never say never haha

What's your LP normally? What CD do you usually O on?

Yeah, our bodies are weird sometimes

I've been off BCP for two years and have been just keeping track of my cycles. More so Just to know when to expect AF, so I've been able to look back 2 years and see how long my cycles are. 27 days max. I was at -3 and -4 for BD this month. Was planning a BFN and restart for next month, but when I didn't have AF at 25-27 days I'm like hmmmm. I'm pretty regular on my cycle length, not sure about my O and LP just yet though. Thanks for all your input, it's just a big waiting game.

aloha5736 · September 2015

I only have 3 months of temp charts CD 14-16 and my LP 9-10 and now this one.

FloridaStanley · September 2015

Hmm. Weird. You'll just have to wait and see!

My cousin, my moms sisters daughter, never received a BFP on an HPT. Went several weeks missed two months of AF...had blood drawn and finally got a positive. Not saying this is the case but crossed my mind, happened twice for her. Oh well...so come to the conclusion B6 isn't some super vitamin LOL after 7 days of consumption. I'll see my PCP later this week if nothing comes...I usually don't do anything that I'd be to concerned with if I was pregnant anyway

Can you post a picture of your paper charts so we can see?

And I suggest looking at your food/water intake to try to combat that much constipation. You shouldn't be constipated that often.

I wouldn't call a few days of constipation on one cycle "often". Progesterone during the luteal phase can cause constipation. It is actually a common PMS symptom.

Not to mention prenatal vitamins

Edit for clarity

The entire thing about my cousin...I have no idea what QFP means. Basically for some reason the hCG hormone wasn't being crossed and filtered through the kidneys, until later in pregnancy. Hence why it picked up through the blood vs. urine. It's not normal obviously and frankly I didn't believe her either.

Yes, no that is completely normal for me to be off and on-both side of spectrum. Especially with LP. I drink a ton of water, always have. I just put down symptoms so basically I know what's normal and what's not normal.

My temp dropped a little bit this AM to 97.5 range so hopefully that means I can get this cycle done with. I've been having some health issues this month, so maybe it really is just effecting me more than I think.

TY

hboaz · September 2015

Could be you are having a randomly long LP...I know it's supposed to stay the same every month, but it happened to me the first month we started TTC, too. My LP is normally 11-13 days, and my first month TTC it was 15 days. That was the worst!!

aloha5736 · September 2015

Yep I think so! My temp dropped this AM. No more B6 either hehe TY

wellinaustin · September 2015

I've been taking extra B6 for two cycles and last cycle I O'd late (granted it was after MC) and this one I'm pretty sure I O'd yesterday at 13DPO. My luteal phase was actually shorter at 12 DPO last cycle so I'm pretty sure it hasn't helped on that end either. I started taking it because I read that it can help balance hormone levels out which is what I'm struggling with! GL with your next cycle! I don't think the B6 did anything, I think you just O'd late!
