B-12?

Abilene · 05-08-2006, 05:27 AM

I have had spotting for years before AF for about 4-5 day then a day off and then AF. None of my doctors has ever offered any help other than D&C's. Last month I made a mistake and purchased B-12 rather than b-6 and this month I had a normal (so far) starting on day 29 with no spotting before. What could b-12 be doing? Should I stay on it? Anybody else ever have this happen? Weird to me....

In the book "Getting Pregnant" by Dr. Niels Laursen, he recommended taking a B-complex because you need both the B-12 and the B-6. I can't remember why, off the top of my head, but I think the B-12 enhances the effects of the B-6. I'm not sure what B-12 alone does, though. Sorry!

I tried to find an answer for you but I really don't have one. However, my suggestion would be that if it is working then stay on it. See if it works in the coming months as well.

I take a bio-b12 that has additional vitamins and minerals such as folic acid b/c the metformin depletes folic acid so I have to take additional supplements.

Good luck...sorry I can't be more help.
