How long do I keep taking B6 & baby aspirin for?

~*sierra*~ · #1 June 12th, 2010, 08:21 AM

I have read different things about how long to take baby aspirin for so i'm just going to ask my midwife about it on tuesday. Does anyone know when to stop taking the B6?

I stopped my b6 at 18dpo. I don't know how long it *should* be taken or even if it *shouldn't* be taken in pregnancy, I don't have enough info on it to suggest or advise.

My bottle said that it is not intended for use by pregnant or nursing women... so I would probably stop taking it.

I know of several who took B6 to help with morning sickness.

ahhhhhhh so torn. well apparently you just excrete what you dont need in the pee so i will keeptaking it till tues and i'll talk to the mw about it then i guess.....

Are you taking a pre-natal? There's B6 in those too....

yes i take a prenatal that has 25mg B6 in it. so i get a total of 125mg a day, which is fine if its helping me keep this baby. but if there's no point i'd rather not keep taking the extra 100mg kwim?

I think I remember someone here taking it til past 12 weeks... Alice maybe? I can't remember! Good question for the midwife though.

125 per day seems a lot. I was taking 50, then upped to 100 whilst TTC cos I wanted to see an impact on my LP but was advised by someone on TTC#1 to cut back as 100 wasn't necessary.

You've only got a couple more days till your app tho, deffo ask the MW.

I took b6 (100mg) til I was 8 weeks then dropped down to 50mg til I was out of my first trimester. My midwife recommends it to help with morning sickness. I did read you shouldn't stop it cold turkey but wean yourself off of it.

I took 100mg per day plus whatever was in my prenatal until I was 13-14 weeks along. I don't know if it helps prevent miscarring, but it helps MS.
