Iron deficiency

knottiedc782e0a2fdbb420

My ferritin levels at 23 weeks were28mcg/l. I am prescribed feramax 150mg. Wondering if it’s too much iron? Would it cause any problems for the baby? Anyone suffering from iron deficiency and prescribed the high dose supplement?

My ferritin levels were a 7!! They just told me to take over the counter 65 mg of iron everyday plus 3 times a week take it twice.

I am also iron deficient and am taking a prescribed iron supplement. It really constipates me. It will all be over soon, Right!? lol. Good luck mama

My levels were low and my doctor prescribed an iron infusion (like an IV drip), though the infusion clinic can't schedule me for a few more weeks!
