I took it daily when TTC. I'm guessing it worked because I got pregnant right away (once I had started to take it... I had been TTC off and on for 2 years). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-successfully-lengthen-your-luteal-phase#post-938068 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 09:19:17 +0000 Ash 938068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lisamarieloves: Just regular b-complex!

A friend of mine had her doctor recommend a b-complex before and during AF to help with migraines. I was having heavy bleeding so I went ahead and took some today. But should I stop taking it when I am trying to ovulate and then start again once in my LP? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-successfully-lengthen-your-luteal-phase#post-937719 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 07:56:10 +0000 LindsayInNY 937719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lisamarieloves: I just added B6 to my post-O vitamin regime to try and stop pre-AF spotting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-successfully-lengthen-your-luteal-phase#post-937334 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 23:10:53 +0000 deactivated_account 937334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: just regular b complex? I just went to the store and saw all sorts of "b complex" options. Like super b complex, mega b complex..... (I'm not sure about the mega... But there were a few). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-successfully-lengthen-your-luteal-phase#post-912404 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 11:17:37 +0000 sheskrafty 912404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did acupuncture to lengthen my luteal phase and got pregnant on the first cycle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-successfully-lengthen-your-luteal-phase#post-912349 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 10:55:58 +0000 Ash 912349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took b complex too - I think I did 100mg from gnc. :) my chiropractor encouraged it - got pregnant the next month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-successfully-lengthen-your-luteal-phase#post-912311 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 10:38:55 +0000 Vegmama 912311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost 10 pounds by walking/running and cutting out crappy food ... with my next cycle, I noticed it was shorter overall ... the one after that was shorter (30 days), but I had a 15 day LP, which made me soooo happy. I was on a 35-40 day cycle with a 9-10 day lp (before the weight loss), which I feel had something to do with my lack of getting pregnant. I was also taking my prenatal vitamins, which are loaded with good stuff!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-successfully-lengthen-your-luteal-phase#post-911046 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 13:30:29 +0000 mamimami 911046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I started charting I noticed how my luteal phase lengthened little by little post partum. So it might be a question of time if you watch the trend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-successfully-lengthen-your-luteal-phase#post-911045 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 13:30:05 +0000 LazyLightning 911045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep I took b6 for a cycle.

Just means you are taking B6 and B12 and other B vitamins together in one pill. You can also just buy a bottle of b6 but B vitamins should be taken as a complex. You'll get it when you go to the drug store and look at the label! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-successfully-lengthen-your-luteal-phase#post-910935 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 11:18:47 +0000 Bao 910935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: when you say take it as a b complex what does that mean? Sounds stupid but I'm not familiar with all that :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-successfully-lengthen-your-luteal-phase#post-910926 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 10:53:36 +0000 delight 910926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: oops I just replied on the POAS board and didn't realize you started this thread!</p> <p>I successfully lengthened by LP with B6. I had a mc in my second month off of BC and then started noticing my LP was 7/8 days with a day or two of spotting before that. I started a B50 complex at the beginning of my 4th cycle and that month my LP went to 10 days. The next cycle I was PG again and this time it stuck. I continued taking 50 mg of B6 until about week 14 as I was a little nervous to stop it. </p> <p>I have read you can take 100 mg of B6 but I just wanted to try 50 for a few months. Take it as a complex though because B vitamins work in conjunction with each other. I really am a firm believer it helped me. I feel my first PG didn't work out because my LP was too short. When I got my BFP I was spotting and continued to spot/bleed til 7 weeks when I lost it. </p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-successfully-lengthen-your-luteal-phase#post-910920 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 10:46:00 +0000 Foodnerd81 910920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a long luteal phase, but I would start spotting several days before my period started, and taking a B complex seemed to help that somewhat-- I still spoted but not for as many days. I didn't want to lengthen my LP since it was already 17 days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-successfully-lengthen-your-luteal-phase#post-910854 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 09:25:10 +0000 Bao 910854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've found that the past 2/3 cycles my luteal phase has only been 7/8 days long. Obviously that is too short to conceive so I'm looking for tips from you bees. Has anyone successfully lengthened their luteal phase? I've heard b6 or b complex can help but not sure exactly how that works and how/when to take it. I'm nursing so I'm not sure if that plays a part. </p>
