B-Complex (Lengthen Luteal Phase & Balance B6)

B-Complex
While trying to conceive number # 3, I learned from Natural Fertility Info.com,  "Make sure to use B6 in conjunction with a B complex or multivitamin to avoid causing imbalances" (Rodriguez).


Buying B-Complex
If you buy a B-complex vitamin, you might see it already comes with B6 and is balanced out for you. You may also notice that your prenatal vitamins will also have B6, how much, will depend on your prenatal vitamin brand.

What is the difference between B-Complex & B6
The difference between B6 and  B-complex is B6 is just by itself, but b-complex has b6 and other b vitamins together. It may also have other vitamins and minerals too.


The importance of B Vitamins 
  • b1 deficiency has been linked to failed ovulation and implantation.
  • b2 deficiency has been linked to infertility and miscarriage.
  • b5 is important for conception and fetal development.
  • b6 is essential for the formation and functioning of sex hormones.
  • b12 with folate are essential to fetal development.

What's In Your Vitamins?
  • B1,B2,B6,B12 should be in your prenatals.
  • B6, B12 are what are in the Spring Valley, gummy B-complex I took during the cycle I became pregnant with my 3rd.

Implantation Dips & Raised BBT

An Implantation Dip is when your basal body temperature (BBT) dips below your cover line post ovulation, usually said to occur around 7 to 9 days pass ovulation on average and then continues to rise without falling below the cover line again. 3 to 5 days pass ovulation for implantation dips is said to be rare.  Some believe implantation dips are myths, because of varying results in dips and outcomes for pregnancy.  Usually it is said when your BBT stays above your cover line without dipping below the cover line, it is a sign that you're pregnant.   This is just a theory, but it seems for some early implantation dips, may lead to earlier positive pregnancy tests. The exception to early implantation dips theory I have found is that  some women get early positive pregnancy tests as a result of having a multiples pregnancy, some women gets dips in many of their cycles that do not result in pregnancy and some women like me don't get dips during a c...

Some online boards that will tweak (alter) a pregnancy test photo to help individuals identify if the test is a faint positive or indeed negative, often will not do blue dyes.
