Anyone take vit. B6 when TTC? Keep taking if preggo?

[catpagmo]

I started taking vitamin B6 about 1.5 mos ago. We are TTC. I am wondering if you should continue taking it if/when you finally become pregnant. (Wishful thinking!)

Anyone know?

Thanks!

I took Vitamin B6 in combination with 1/2 tablet of Unisom to treat morning sickness while preggo, so I know B6 is safe. In fact, those two things are the ingredients of a commonly prescribed drug for morning sickness in Canada and Europe (Bendectine).

I think it's ok...
Are you taking a prenatal too??

When I was experiencing miscarriages, one thing my RE recommended when TTC was taking high doses of B6, B12 and folic acid.

Yup...taking a prenatal, too. I'm just wondering if I should keep taking the B6 (100mg/day) if I become preggo, or if it's harmful. What about hair dye? Anyone know about that? Oh, and one more thing...the xray machines at the airport. Are they safe?

you can take up to 150mg of B6/day. are you taking a prenatal AND a B6 supplement? make sure you're staying at that 150 or lower #. but, otherwise, yes it's OK to take during pregnancy and can be helpful in the first tri in particular.

i think hair dye is a no-no for the first tri. i don't know about the airport x-ray machines, do you mean the ones you put your stuff through? those should be fine...

babydust to you!

Thanks ladies! I should be able to talk to my doc tomorrow, but in the meantime, you have given me some peace of mind!

Thanks again!
