Ugh
My legs = so achy

I have a feretin deficiency
& a b12 deficiency

Im on injections 4 b12
And iron tablets for low feretin

Having bloods fri that should include b12 & feretin

Just so exhausted
I am 27w preg too

Any other ideas/ suggestions?

I saw the title of your thread and was coming on to say that for me it was low B12 and low ferritin - and I can now see that is the same for you.

Do you know your specific results? My B12 was 85 and ferritin was 25. After 6 months my repeat bloods were 323 and 72 respectively and I felt significantly better.

Saying that, bloods a further 6 months later have showed a drop to 232 on B12 and 50 on ferritin so I’m obviously not able to sustain my levels very well.

No suggestions I’m afraid, but offering solidarity!
