I took it specifically to lengthen LP though- I hadn't had spotting.</p> <p>It worked quickly - I went from really wonky cycles where it was pretty impossible to detect ovulation or the cycle would go on forever to being super regular and pregnant within 1-2 cycles...so I'm a big advocate if B complex! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experience-with-b-complex-vitamin#post-1994953 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 19:47:38 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1994953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Post -o for both successful pregnancies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experience-with-b-complex-vitamin#post-1994883 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 18:30:11 +0000 dc yoga bee 1994883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took it for my 9-10 day luetal phase. It had no effect on my cycle. It didn't delay O, and I took it all cycle. I dropped it after a while since I wasn't seeing any improvement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experience-with-b-complex-vitamin#post-1994878 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 18:26:38 +0000 pachamama 1994878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am taking B complex along with Vitex and I actually have seen some change in my spotting! I spotted around day 8-9 for almost 4 days sometimes! Now I spot for a day, maybe less. so that's good. I almost always ovulate around day 16-17 so it hasn't changed that I don't think. Looking at an 11 day luteal phase.<br /> It took 3-4 months to affect me.</p> <p>Has it helped me conceive? No. Going on 9 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experience-with-b-complex-vitamin#post-1982469 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 14:23:47 +0000 Mrs. J 1982469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: B-complex has 7 different B vitamins, versus just taking B-6 and B-12. I don't know that there is a reason that one way is more beneficial than the other--I just know it worked for me.</p> <p>EDIT: here's the thread I started when I decided to take them. I also took Vitex to help regulate my cycle when I got pregnant with LO and this current pregnancy.<br /> <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lengthening-your-luteal-phase" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lengthening-your-luteal-phase</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experience-with-b-complex-vitamin#post-1981153 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 20:23:54 +0000 hilsy85 1981153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. J: what's the difference between taking a complex and the two separate? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experience-with-b-complex-vitamin#post-1981068 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 19:42:35 +0000 Mrs. Coral 1981068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took B complex my entire cycle.

So I guess I will start taking it pre O. How long did it delay O? LIke a couple of days or a week? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experience-with-b-complex-vitamin#post-1979863 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 08:20:00 +0000 Ash 1979863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: forgot to answer that part! I took it to lengthen my lp and it worked. It definitely will delay o if you take it the whole cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experience-with-b-complex-vitamin#post-1979852 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 08:01:38 +0000 travellingbee 1979852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tKe it whole cycle to lengthen my LP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experience-with-b-complex-vitamin#post-1979851 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 08:01:03 +0000 hilsy85 1979851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: what reasons did you have for taking it and did it help with that?</p> <p>I am actually feeling more positive--AF started today but I only spotted yesterday, rather than several days before, so maybe this m/c helped "Reset" things? either way, I still think I will take the b complex just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experience-with-b-complex-vitamin#post-1979848 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 07:56:36 +0000 Ash 1979848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took it post o! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experience-with-b-complex-vitamin#post-1979836 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 07:35:49 +0000 hilsy85 1979836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: did you take it post o or whole cycle? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experience-with-b-complex-vitamin#post-1979760 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 02:23:24 +0000 PawPrints 1979760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started taking it after one very short LP (post-mc) and I got knocked up first cycle taking it. That was after 9 cycles and one mc. I can't say for sure that it's what made the difference, but I kept taking the rest of the pills to help with morning sickness, and I actually still have the empty bottle since it feels a little bit like a lucky charm to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experience-with-b-complex-vitamin#post-1979701 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 23:33:03 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1979701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: whole cycle.

My forehead got all tingly. I don't even remember what it did to my cycle exactly. I feel like it messed it up though. I stopped taking it and don't recommend supplements like that to others.</p> <p>ETA - I was also told to take it post-O otherwise it can mess up your cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experience-with-b-complex-vitamin#post-1979601 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 22:02:48 +0000 Bea 1979601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take it after O to lengthen my LP. My LP usually ranges from 8-10 days but with the b-complex it gets to 12 days. It worked the first time I took it. I've taken it probably 5-6 months and only once (3rd month I think) did it not work for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experience-with-b-complex-vitamin#post-1979558 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 21:35:21 +0000 hilsy85 1979558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am going to start taking a B-complex vitamin this cycle in the hopes that it helps with the spotting pre-AF I was having over the last few cycles pre m/c. If you took it, did you start at the beginning of your cycle or after O? I have heard it can delay O, but that's not a concern for me (later O would be better actually since DH and I are traveling separately for several days this month). What issues did you take it for, and did it help with them? Did you notice that it helped right away or did it take time? </p>
