Anyone have experience with low ferritin levels??

Question

It's your iron stores before asks. Just looking for advice or anyone that's been through this. They want me to take infusions but I definitely don't want to

Answer

For anyone who is recommended supplements, take Floradix!  It's supposed to be the best out there, highest absorption as its combined with vitamin C and does not cause constipation.  Perfectly safe during pregnancy.  Expensive but well worth it....

(Obviously if you're being recommended infusions, you're probably very low and past the point where a supplement will help.  Surely a doctor wouldn't prescribe infusions unless absolutely necessary.)

Answer

I have really low ferritin levels. I had them pre-pregnancy though. I take 3 iron tablets per day to help since my store is so low. They actually haven't checked them since I was around 6 weeks pregnant. But I assume it's all okay. The iron tablets suck because they make you nauseous, but I'd rather do that than infusions if it could be avoided!
