using vitamins to lengthen luteal phase!

Just wanted to share some helpful information I came across this month… I have suffered from short luteal phase before I conceived my second baby (after my periods returned they were back to normal, then suddenly they were short again). Instead of waiting until I was ready for baby #3 and then struggling to fix things I decided to try to fix it before it becomes a problem. Anyway…!!!!!
I did some research and found that a few vitamins were pretty handy in lengthening your luteal phase. B6, and vitamin C i read were wonderful for regulating things without messing anything up. I bought both.
I am a vegetarian and have cut out most dairy because i hate milk and eggs, so i started taking fish oil bc it was recommended to me by an acupuncturist. Also started taking folic acid and calcium and magnesium (again bc i don't really eat dairy and i read calcium is VERY important for TTC) and apparently you need to take magnesium when you take calcium.
So anyway, just wanted to share that after last month of spotting from CD24 until finally starting my period on CD28, this month I am on CD28 and haven't had any spotting and my cramps are almost non existent! I should note that i typically ovulate on CD14 (average).
I know that I was/am always looking to hear stories of natural ways to regulate my cycle and thus far this is really working so i thought i would share :)
