Anyone taking Elevit & Blackmores Vitamin B6?

[wannabmum]

I am currently taking Elevit and have a luteal phase of around 10 or 11 days. I read somewhere that Vitamin B6 could help. I tried Vitex but it just delayed ovulation and made my cycles really long! So I thought I would give Vit B6 a try - it has 240mg of VB6 and Elevit has 2.6mg. Does anyone know if this is too much??? If anyone could help that would be great...... Thanks

Hi wannabmum

I am not an expert but I have been doing some research on B6 in the last few weeks. From what I have read if you are TTC you should keep you B6 intake under 200mg. Something I read suggested that going over that has a possibility (did not indicate how much possibility) of birth defects.

Blackmores apparently also do a 100mg version so it might be worth trying to get that.

There is one American lady who is quoted on lots of the websites who started taking a bit over 60mg and got a BFP.

I hope it helps you.

Thanks for the reply feathergirl..... I suppose I could cut the Vitamin B6 into two and try that. It wouldn't bring my total over 200mg then.

has anyone upped their Vitamin B6 and inturn increased their luteal phase before??
