Hello ladies,

this is my first time posting here. I am 26 and DH is 28 we have been trying ttc for 5 years. I have been charting my temp for the past 3 month's. I have been taking 350mg a day for the past month or so and I feel fine:). I take half in the morning and half at night.What side affect have you heard of?? I take natural herbs and drink green tea.

Good luck to all.

Please stop taking that much B6!!! Anything over 100 is not safe. I do not know why for sure I think it can cause permanate nerve damage. It may not cause problems right away. I think it starts to cause problems after a few months of to high of doses. Please quit. take 100mgs 50 at morn and 50 at night. Or at least go talk to a dr. please, please, please!!!!!!!!

I told my doc I was taking 200mg, 100 in a.m, 100 p.m. and she was fine with it. I have heard that there can be negative side effects, like the last poster stated, but I also read that they are completely reversible once you stop taking it.

I would definitely speak with your doc about it, though!

Take care,

Becky
