Low ferittin (iron?)

Question

I just checked my blood results I am 7 weeks pregnant and it’s showing low ferittin everything else is normal hemoglobin etc but I have been extremely out of breathe so I’m assuming that’s why? How do I increase my ferittin or iron? And how long does it take to increase via food changes and or supplements. I’d prefer not to supplement if it’s going to cause constipatoon

Answer

Had this, ate rich iron foods and took supplements doc prescribed. And my bloodwork levels still stayed "low". So i dont want to imagine  what my levels would be without the supplements. Regardless, over time your body will adjust to supplement and you should go back to normal stools over time. So its not a forever thing. The constipation in the beginning until your body adjusts does suck though.. but it all passes
