Thanks Honey.:A

I was diagnosed with Pernicious Anaemia when I was PG in 2010 they then put me on b12 injections everything 3 months but they stopped them as my levels were high and since then I have just gone down hill My last Bloods were in October and my B12 was coming down and my throyid levels were still off I was told I would have to be re tested in 6 months. But I feel pants now and feel that I should be re tested now. :mad: My own doctor is on holiday until Jan 23 rd so I am seeing a Doc at the pratice that is really really nice and my plan is to say my piece and get the go ahead to get my bloods re tested now.

I don't think that I am wrong do do that am i???????:o

Oh, blimey, sorry to hear that.....but if you have injections then your level will be high and if you stop injections then of course it will come down again. Same thing has happened to me really. I am really cross with the doctors for not regularly testing my B12. Make sure they start your jabs again after testing your blood.....you should be having them regardless of your levels if you have pernicious aneamia.

congrats on the weight loss BZ
good luck tomorrow QQ, be thinking of you x x

my research, let me show it to you...
i've found this site
http://www.fertilityuk.org/nfps25.html#indicatorsoffertility
which is quite informative (although the drawings leave a little to be desired lol)
also, i went to boots and had a look at the pregnacare conception, pregnacare original and boots own conception vitamins. the pregnacare conception contains 3 vitamins that aren't in the pregnant ones (L-A something, B something and N something) and of those three the boots only has the B something. if there hadn't have been for my own embarassment at looking at them, i would have taken a picture so you can have the scientific names lol but if anyone has a pack, it's the three at the top of the list before the line.

course, i couldn't buy any as i had completely forgotten my pin number. which i've only ever done once before, when i was pregnant. how's that for symptom spotting? :rotfl:

Hello everyone. :wave:

Hugs tinks hope things get sorted and hugs to snowy on AF arriving early. Snowy I got pregnant pretty quick with my 2. My daughter I got caught with immediately and I have been trying since last September and still nothing. Babies will arrive when they are ready. Conceiving is like the lottery when you look at what sperm have to go through.
If anyone has not seen the Great Sperm Race (was on Channel 4 last year) then try and watch it. It is hard to believe that anyone gets pregnant lol.

Fertility Friend has had another hissy fit at me and has gone back to saying that I ovulated on cd9 and I am confused. My body is not helping me at all with this either with cramps and

Oh and also have you been taking folic acid as that has some affect on b12 tests i think....google it and you'll be armed with info relevant to you when u see the doctor x

Afternoon all!

Hope everyone is ok? I had a dream last night that I got my BFP, and that QQ got her's too. Fingers crossed it's a good omen for us both. Good luck at the clinic tomorrow QQ.

No real news here on the ttc front.

I'm off to have a cuddle with the cat and put my feet up as I've done so much walking in the past couple of days, that they are sore. I'm off out babysitting this afternoon/evening (picking kids up from school etc), so making the most of the afternoon off.

Hugs to all who need or want them,

I found this site useful,
I saw a different doctor and he was really good, and said they should never have stopped the jabs and he'll make sure i receive them forever.
Hopefully that was all that was stopping me get pg last year and this year will be our year. Had my last of the loading dose yesterday, due to ov tomorrow but think I'll wait till next cycle as want to get a smear done before we start trying again.

Fingers, toes and eyes crossed for you QQ!

I can't remember who linked to the Boots vitamin glitch but I just went and tried it and it worked! Amazing, I just got multivitamins as I didn't want to find myself paying for loads of expensive TTC vits if it went wrong (it's not payday 'till next week so can't afford them right now) and got a shaving foam to use up the credit I'd be left with and I paid £2.84 for £11.59 worth of stuff! Magic!
