Another vitamin question...

Hi! We just got the green light to TTC. With DS, I found that my luteal phase was too short, so I took vitamin B6 (I think?) while TTC. Today, my dr gave me a prescription for prenatals. How do I know what is in the prenatal? Is B6 in it and is it as much B6 as I need to lenghten my luteal phase? Should I take an over-the-counter multi-vitamin instead so I can see exactly how much of each vitamin is in the pills? And how much B6 should I be taking in order to lengthen the LP?

Thanks for any help!

You have to take 100 mg of B6 once daily. There isn't that much in prenatals. I know in my prenates, there is only 5mg of B6. Prenates have all the vits you need, so no need to purchse anything other than B6 at the store. HTH.
