Yeah I am anemic!!

I know kind of a strange thing to be excited about but if my Ferritin levels are low too it will explain sooo  much!!!  Anyone ever deal with this?

Re: Yeah I am anemic!!

  • I'm anemic due to pg- I've never been anemic before now. I have to take 1-2 iron pills a day...I just have a hard time remembering to take them.
  • I just found out I am anemic as well.  I'm hoping its just a pregnancy thing and I will return to my normal self after this baby is born. 

    I'm taking an iron supplement to help.  I haven't really noticed a difference yet, but I've only been on them for a few days.

  • I was anemic during pg too.  the ferretin measures how much iron is stored and comes with a bunch of other symptoms that I have been experiencing but couldn't figure out why.

    I've noticed they help my energy levels as long as I don't forget to take them. :)
  • I have been anemic periodically (every few years) and both with last pregnancy and now during this pregnancy.  I know it right away because I start craving ice and ice chips and am super tired. 
    Having been through this a bunch of times now, I find that Ferro Sequel supplements are the gentlest on the GI tract (in terms of not causing constipation)  Slow Fe are OK, but not as good.
