I have an 18 month boy and concieved and carried to term no trouble. I have now had 2 mc in a row and the specialist thinks I have a luteal phase defect as I am ovulating on day 24 of a 33 day cycle. Has anyone successfully carried to term by using provera tablets to correct this?

LOL here goes my Vitamin B rap again.....I strongly believe that it can help, and it doesn't hurt either.

It's something I was told after 3 m/c's and I gave it a go :)

I have a short luteal phases but managed to carry both my boys fine - there is hope.

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

I mentioned B6 to my obs/gyn and he said it wouldnt help but I was welcome to try it as it wouldnt hurt. I don't know how much to take though as I have read it can be dangerous if you take too much. I take Elevit which has some but probably not enough?
Shadowdance how long did you use it for and how did it effect your luteal phase and subsequent pregnancies? Sorry to be nosey but I am dying to talk to someone who has been through this.
