What if B6 Doesn't Work? Then What?

Some women have reported taking vitamin b6 made their cycles longer, delayed ovulation or caused anovulation. Of these claims, I do not know how many were taking Vitamin B6 in conjunction with B12 or a b-complex of B vitamins to help balance out the Vitamin B6. 

The only real way one can know that it won't work for them is of course if they tried it the way it supposes to be taken and found it was more harmful than helpful and have tried it for the recommended time period without success.

It also seems some women have found success even without using the B12 or B-complex, perhaps because they were taking a smaller amount of B6 and / or also taking prenatal vitamins that had enough B vitamins that balanced the small amount taken. It's hard to say why it works well for some women and not others. Some people just respond to stuff differently, all our bodies are different and what works for one, may not work another.

If for some reason trying Vitamin B6 and B-Complex do not work for you and you still have a short luteal phase, you many want to consider adding it to the second half of your cycle after ovulation or using over the counter progesterone cream, which is only used in your two weeks wait after ovulation has been confirmed rather than taking the supplements during the first half of your cycle before ovulation. 

This maybe not be a solution for everyone who has not had success with taking B6 or B-complex throughout their cycle, but some reports have been made from women who saw improvement when switching to the second half of their cycle when taking it the entire cycle did not work for them.

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...
