How much should be her b12 level before she get pregnant?
Also, she got rashes due to folvite 5 mg as well, so which tablet she can take to increase her folic acid. Currently she is eating 1 egg per day to increase her b12 levels. Her present b12 level is 232.
She is allergic to methylcobalmin.

I’m sorry to hear that.
As she has lot of allergies, you should consider getting allergic profile done.
Her current b12 levels are borderline , which is ok. But if she needs to increase especially when trying to pregnancy.
Consider
B12 rich foods - eggs, meat, dairy products, mushrooms
Folic acid rich foods- dark green vegetables- spinach brococoli, avacado , beans, sunflower seeds, citrus fruits, egg
