TTC with vitamin b12 deficiency

Quick question - has anyone managed to fall pregnant with a severe b12 deficiency? I'm starting b12 injections for 2 weeks as of next week and know these will kick in quickly (I have no symptoms but levels are very low, been veggie since birth so probably why!) I also eat all the veggie friendly things that are high in it very regularly 🤷‍♀️

Is this month TTC a write off or is it still possible? Just trying to manage my own expectations 😊 only just started on this journey last month so pleased I found this out now xx

I wouldn't advise it.

Thing is the fetus takes all their vitamins and minerals of you which could leave you tired and very ill.

Make sure all your vitamins and mineral levels are good before TTC. This is one reason why lots of women and men take vitamins tablets before TTC.

Thank you. For someone who's meant to be very deficient I don't have any symptoms, and I've read on the NHS website about the inaccuracy of b12 blood tests too.

I'm not going to stop TTC this month, I'm starting on high strength b12 tablets today, and obviously these injections should kick in quickly next week. My fertile window starts on Sunday and first injection Monday, appreciate it's unlikely to happen this month but I'll see xx
