Re: BBT doesn't spike

I have only been charting my BBT and not my cervical fluid or any other
signs. I'm going to chart those next month along with using an
ovulation kit to gather more evidence for my doctor.
I read somewhere that 50mg of Vitamin B6 is a safe, low-tech way of
possibly fixing annovulation. Is this something that I should try
taking in addition to my pre-natal vitamins next month?
Thanks,
Angela
