Pernicious anemia and planning pregnancy. i currently get b12 injections bimonthly. recommendations? b12 more often? what is recommended max dosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Keep levels normal: A pernicious anemia patient can work with her primary care and ob-gyn doctor to find out how often she needs injections to keep her B12 level normal. Haven't seen any reports of B12 injections causing pregnancy problems, if the B12 is being used to prevent B12 deficiency. A common dose is 1mg each shot, with the patient getting a shot every few weeks or every month, depending on need.

If you have autoimmune atrophic gastritis or pernicious anemia, can your B12 levels fluctuate between low and low-normal(like 201)? Or if you have either of those diseases will your B12 always be low until you start B12 injections?
