Meta-analyses and randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) show improved menstrual cyclicity, reduced androgens, and (critically for IVF programmes with BMI cut-offs) average weight-loss of 10-15 % [3,4]

Regular monitoring and open communication with your healthcare provider are crucial to achieving the best possible outcomes while minimizing risks
It emphasises the importance of recognising a wide range of symptoms and signs that could indicate a deficiency - including cognitive difficulties, such as: Eyesight problems Mental health issues Neurological/mobility problems Unexplained fatigue The guidelines highlight the necessity for an initial diagnostic test for suspected vitamin B12 deficiency, utilising either total B12 or active B12 tests, (unless specific circumstances require an alternative approach)

Problems with B12 deficiency A lack of B12 in your body affects several nervous system and red blood cell functions, which can lead to things like: Anemia: causes fewer red blood cells to move from your bone marrow Birth problems: increases risk of pregnancy loss and neural tube defects Osteoporosis: leads to poor bone health and fracture risk Macular degeneration: progression of age-related macular degeneration Memory loss: the onset of early-stage dementia is greater The advantages of B12 injections The decision to get a B12 shot instead of a supplement depends on factors such as your level of vitamin deficiency, the presence of symptoms, and how your need changes over time
Subcutaneous fat loss occurs faster than skin elasticity can adapt, particularly in older researchers or those who carried excess weight for many years
