umsami Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 My internist wants me to wait until my next cycle. If it is less than 21 days, then we'll go for an endometrial biopsy. In the meantime, I'm starting intramuscular B12 shots weekly. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktgrok Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Does the doctor think the weight loss is from low B12? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Does the doctor think the weight loss is from low B12? No, but I'm usually low and due to my body not manufacturing intrinsic factor like most people (missing fundus of the stomach), we're going to finally give up on sublingual supplements.

Gotcha, but then what is he doing about the weight loss? Has that stopped? I mean, it's great that they are finally dealing with the B12 issue, but that's not what you called them about! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, she hasn't a clue about the weight loss, but my guess is because my cycles are so short she feels one possibility would be endometrial cancer or something similar. I think she also is hoping that I will start to regain or at least stop losing once Ramadan is over (which is tomorrow).

Have you gained any weight back? Hope all is well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatherwith4 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Yes, I've been wondering about how you are as well. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Yes, I've gained back half of the weight I lost--so maybe it was an atypical fasting weight loss for me. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
