Vitamin B12 low

[Pearly86]

I had my blood work couple of days before and today the lady at the doctor's office called up and told me that I am have abnormally low B12 in my body
as I was experiencing a lot of lighheaded ness and m trying to conceive from a long time too..so wanted to know is that the reason that I havnt conceived yet and also My lp is at the short side 8-9..
so m thinking cuz f vitamin b deficiency could be the reason for all this

Just want to knw if someone was at the same plot before and got pregnant after getting the B 12 issue resolved...m having my appointment with my doc tomm so lets c what she suggests!

Any suggestion regarding the same ill be very thankful!

I have low b 12 & hashimoto thyroiditis.. I conceived after 9 months. I had been on b12 injections for two years already but only got on thyroid meds 4 months before BFP. Good luck to you.

My body doesn't absorb b12 from foods and oral vitamins like normal people so injections were the best option. My husband gives them to me in my hip instead of having to go to the Dr office every two weeks. I feel so much better on the b12 and if I go a few days overdue on my injection I can tell the difference.. Mostly with fatigue and muscle weakness.

AFM- my doc visit went well she gave me b12 shots to bring my level up for one and them she told me to start the vitamin pill also she prescribed me for vitamin d and she told me tsh is 5.1 which she said nothing to worry as this is quite okay but if ur ttc them this is something to watch for I got myself checked six months back when I had put on so much weight that time it was 3.5 now m thinking I brought all the good changes like lost weight started eating healthy so what exactly caused me having this

Recommended levels of TSH for TTC is below 2.0.. I had to fight with my Dr at first to give me meds and then up my dose and once he did, I got my BFP. Always be an advocate for yourself.. We know our bodies better than anyone else! Hopefully the shots help you as much as they did me.

I am in the same boat, I am taking 3 months b12 injections course.

Don't know if I have any deficiency, never been told that, I know TSH is fine, was being tested just as I found out I was pregnant. I was suffering from extreme migraine headaches for alittle over 6months and in June I read that taking vit B12 can help the migraines and a baby aspirin well I started this in June and july 2nd I got a BFP! Of course I believe God is the sole reason for my blessing but I do believe there was divine intervention. Just my experience but it cant hurt to try. GL and hope you get some answers. BTW I have had 2 ectopic pregnancies before this one and just confirmed last week bean is in the right place so I would give it a try.
