B12 Deficiency and Supplementation

I wanted to start taking Methyl B12 right away after seeing the results of my dna test. So I ordered some and started taking the Jarrow brand on March 18th. I started off taking 1000mg 5 times per day. 



I was chewing them, which I later found out it is better to just let them dissolve in your mouth. That takes quite a while so I switched to the 5000 mg lozenges and take that first thing in the morning.  

I didn't feel any difference at first, then on day 3 I started having detox symptoms. I had those for about 3 days then went back to normal. I was excited because this showed that it was working and making a difference. 

When I started the 5000mg morning dose I started having really vivid dreams that I remembered when I woke up. That was another great sign that my serotonin was going up.

Positive OPK and Weight Loss Update

I finally got a positive OPK yesterday. I tested in the morning and the test line was half as dark as the control line. I had a feeling it was going to be positive so I tested again in the afternoon and it was. I should be ovulating tomorrow if the pattern holds true.

I have lost 10lbs since February 24th. I am down to 165.4 lbs, which means I need to lose 15 more to reach my goal. I am actually starting to be able to tell a difference in my body and am down one pant size.

I was thinking about babies and pregnancy yesterday and ended up dreaming about having a baby last night. The due date for the 3rd baby we lost is in 10 days. I was hoping we would have already been pregnant by then but this AF won't be due until after that. I should be about 9 dpo on that day which is too early to test anyway. I am trying not to think about it and dwell on it but that doesn't seem to be working.
