Hi all,
As you may or may not know at my last midwife apointment they put me on two iron tabs a day as i was feeling out of breath and tired and they weren't doing my bloods till next apt.
Well that was wednesday and they did my bloods and rang me today and said my iron is really low at 97 which is bad considering i've been taking iron. So she has refered me to a consultant who i have to see next week.
Has anyone else experienced this? When she took my bloods i said i was still feeling really exhausted and she said some people dont absorb iron and then they have to give it to you intravenously. I'm assuming she means via a drip?
Anyone know anything more?
Thanks!
A pee'd off Laura
