Light period = less fertile?

[Esperanza84]

This time, my period has been lighter than normal. Does this effect my fertility? Does my lining get thiner of this? Hope not!

I read up about this, as was getting the same thing and it didn't seem to follow a rule, as many women had commented about having had super light af and still gotten their bfp!

I can say though that the B6 I am taking made my AF heavier (I guess as it is meant to give you an extra thick spongy lining more suited for implantation.........)

Thanks!!! Well, I might just have to do some shopping than!

I'm also taking vitamin B this month (vitamin B complex) Fingers crossed it will help us all get our bfp! Good luck ladies xx

what is he B6 content of the complex tabs you are taking Rednursie? to lengthen luteul phase etc it's recommended you take 100mg daily.....so I bought separate B6 100mg tabs and then take my prenatel to get the folic acid and B12.......

My periods have gotten shorter and lighter over the years, still not super light but only last 2 days. They started very heavy and lasted 7 days. I got pregnant after trying once so in my case it doesn't seem to relate to my fertility lol.

My periods have been superlight since D&C last yr. I get 2 days of very light bleeding now. I've been told by various sources that this doesn't matter as long as lining on scan looks ok (which after a few different timed scans mine does), so I guess all you can say is that the period heaviness doesn't tell you what is going on inside (which is what matters for fertility). Can your gp arrange a routine scan to check for you?

I've been taking dong quai since March in the first part of my cycle (until ov) and got me a bfp in may (although it didn't work out) as its supposed to help with this a bit.

100mg? Wow I didn't realise it was that much! The Bcomplex contain 10mg per tablet & I am also taking pregnacare conception which contain 10mg per tablet. Oh convinced me to get complex as they were on offer-Men! I'll pop down to boots & buy plain B6 tomorrow I guess.
Thanks! xx

My periods have always been very light and never stopped me getting pregnant with either of my two xx

My periods were so light they sometimes would only last 1 day and I still conceived first month of trying

So don't worry..... I remember worrying too xxx

I asked the doctor this last week and he said it didn't matter. Phew!
