b12 injection stopped period

[Coolcat12345]

I’ve had 3 b12 injections as levels have been a little low. Normally have regular periods but now haven’t had one in 6 weeks.

Has anyone experienced this? What is the reasoning? Have had sore nipples for 2 weeks too. Not pregnant.

If anyone has experienced this. How long did periods take to come back?

Just so you are aware, you are posting a B12 question on a thyroid group. That's fine, but you might get a better response posting on the Pernicious Anaemia group.

Do you have a thyroid condition as well?

ah thankyou! Didn’t realise that. Yes- my TSH is 0.4

There will be members in this group that also have B12 injections.

Have you just had a TSH only test?

To get a full picture of how well your thyroid treatment is working for you, we need to see TSH, FT4 & FT3.

Also, for thyroid hormone to work well we need OPTIMAL levels of key vitamins - ferritin, folate, B12 & D3.

Obviously you are getting B12 injections now (hopefully!). Are you vegan or vegetarian or do you have PA?

Do you have any other vitamin results because B12 also has cofactors (other vitamins it works with to be effective).
