Question for you ladies, please help me out here....

I don't have a LPD, my LP is 12-13 days long. I know B6 helps lengthen LP, but my question is, does anyone know if it helps in any other way with TTC?? I've heard it can also help with mild depression (which after over 2&1/2 yrs of TTC I have) Just wondering if it will help me get pg if I take it, or at the very least won't hurt my chances. Also, how much should I take? My last AF only lasted 1&1/2 days and was really light brown(TMI) the whole time (barely could use even a lite tampon), so I'm not sure what's going on with my crazy body right now, but I figured I have about 3-4 months left to get pg on my own before we move onto IVF in Feb/March. Also, I'm going to try the Robi again this month and Evening Primrose Oil, both to help with my CM problem. Any info you have on B6 would be appreciated. I bought some today, but not sure if I should take it or not. Wish me luck :)

I'm not sure of the answer but you might want to ask the CL at the homebirth board. I've read her posts and shes a doula or midwife or nurse (can't remember) (I know you are a nurse) but she is a baby-something LOL. Anyway I was reading her birth journal for her twins (which is AMAZING BTW) and I remember her starting a vitimin that stopped her M/S. Ok moral of my story is that she uses a holistic approach and will probably have the answer to your question as she has 5 kids :).
