I've been dealing with a vitamin B12 deficiency for a couple of months and started getting B12 injections weekly for six weeks. I just got my levels checked again, and now they're over 2000. Is this normal, or should I be worried? Also, I have some other blood work results like hemoglobin at 15, platelets at 346, and WBC at 7800. I'm curious if these are all interconnected somehow. What's going on with my blood tests?

I'm worried because my wife's white blood cell count is really high, around 13,400. Could you take a look at the report and let us know what you think? We're unsure what this means and if it's something we should be concerned about.
A white blood cell (WBC) count of 13,400 is higher than the normal range of 4,500-11,000, indicating a possible infection, inflammation, or immune response

My wife is 26 and we're planning on having kids soon, but her haemoglobin level is pretty low. It went from 7.9 last month to 8.7 now. She's already eating lentils, beans, an apple, milk, groundnuts, and spinach juice every day. Plus, she's on a routine diet of chapatis with veg curry and rice. Do you think her current diet is enough to boost her haemoglobin levels? How long does it usually take to get back to a normal level? Should we consider some injections if diet alone isn't improving things fast enough?
