After four cycles of using opks, and tracking what's going on with my cycles, it appears I only have a 10 day LP, which is debatable on the normal side. I googled natural luteal phase defect treatments, and Vitamin b6 immediately came up. I just started taking it on cd 8. However, I've now found lots of posts on the internet about it delaying ovulation. Sometimes, people reported having 80 day cycles after using this. Um, what has your experience been with vitamin b6 if you don't mind sharing! Did it delay or cause early ovulation for you!?!? Also, should I stop taking it, and only take it once I ovulate to lengthen the LP? I've taking it cd 8, 9, and today on cd 10 so far!
Thanks!

Yup! It delays o! I only took it after o and it lengthened my lp by a couple days. It was recommended by my chiro.

@Ash: Eep!! DH is gone for the next two weeks, so we only BD today which is the first day of my fertile window. If it delays O, it might not be the end of the world because DH will be back on cd 19 and I usually ovulate on cd 17. How long did it delay ovulation for you if you don't mind me asking?
ETA: I see you took it after o.

I only took it for 2 cycles but didn't track O while on it. It did make my cycles really wonky and made them longer than normal but I don't know that it did anything to my LP.
-
I took it one cycle. It's the only cycle I've ever gotten a +OPK and then ovulated a week later. It did nothing for my LP. It gave me terrible side effects and tingling in my face and forehead. It delayed O. I never took it again and never will. Certain things are not to be messed with and medication and your cycle are some of those things.

@dc yoga bee: I took it my whole cycle one time but it delayed o by quite a few days - not sure how many exactly but enough that I didn't want it delayed so then I started taking it after.
-
Didn't delay o for me,but did lengthen my LP from 9 days to 11. It was recommended to me by my ND.
ETA: It's meant to be taken in conjunction with b12.

I took a b100 complex which helped to lengthen my LP from 8 to 10 days. On the third month taking it, I got my BFP. It didn't delay O but I always had a late O, anywhere from CD 16-20. After my BFP, I switched to B50 complex and kept taking until 14 weeks.

In my case it seemed to help me ovulate sooner and i am hoping it helps lengthen my luteal phase this month because i plan to try a higher dose. we shall see.

I have taken a b complex every day 4 months now and I don't notice much of a difference. My period was 5 days late this month but that was due to a late HSG. TTC going on 8 months now.
-
I only took it after O, but it didn't seem to affect my luteal phase at all (had an 8-9 day LP, only thing that changed it was progesterone).
-
@pachamama:Yep, it never delayed ovulation for me. I was just a late(r) ovulater (cd 16-17). I hope you get your bfp soon!
-
In previous cycles I had been taking Super B Complex, which I swear what delaying O for me. This cycle I stopped taking it and started taking B6. My O day seriously jumped back up to when I first started charting. I have no clue if it helped my LP or not, because I got a BFP.
