Can B12 injections affect menstrual cycle?

Yes, a high dose of B12 can affect it. I had irregular menstruation symptoms, sometimes half a year and longer without menstruating, and -always- after a high dose of B12 (oral, not injected) the menstruation started a few hours later. This is probably caused by something called intrinsic factor - stomach cells that produce intrinsic factor are destroyed or missing, without them you can't absorb B12, no matter if your diet includes more or less B12. Only very high doses may get through (or injected B12), these high doses are not present in ANY food.

As soon as your B12 storage is emptied (B12 can be stored in the body for 5-12 years or so), symptoms of B12 deficiency occur, it leads to pernicious anaemia,

means that the production of red blood cells is defect, blood cells won't divide any more, you start to have less, but huge red blood cells, since they are not divided. In this environment your menstruation probably stops due to the deficiency of healthy red blood cells.

My conclusion is that a very high dose of B12 probably leads to a sudden rush of blood cells, and this may start the menstruation, even after it has stopped for a very long time. Don't forget to supplement iron, and folic acid together with B12 - since the production of blood cells depends on them. For that reason a high dose of B12 may lead to an iron and folic acid deficiency, if not supplemented, they are all used up to build the new blood cells.

When is day one of your cycle?

Day one of the menstrual cycle is THE DAY YOU START BLEEDING, THE DAY YOU START GETTING YOUR MENSTRUAL FLOW. This is the day you start counting your cycle, until you get the first day of the next period, this is, that is the fist day of that new cycle. DO NOT start counting from the last day of your period, that is a common mistake. It is important when you visit a physician to know when was your last menstrual period, so try and keep record of it in some form of agenda or excel page. When a doctor asks, "when was your last menstrual period?" he or she will count on you to remember this date, it is important health information and you should be responsible to remember it. He or she are expecting to hear the date of the FIRST DAY of your last, and therefore, most recent menstrual period. I'm a general physician, so, I'm telling you, for us, this is important.
