my iron is low. Anyone else on iron supplements?? Just curious if I should be worried about getting "backed up" ;-)

    Hey! I also passed my 1 hour, but am now low in iron too. ?I'm taking those Slow FE supplements, and so far I'm a little more constipated but not bad at all. ?But then again, I am on antibiotics for a UTI, and those have an opposite problem (diarrhea) so I think they both balance out somehow!

    I had the same problem.  I didn't get more backed up from taking the iron, I now have the opposite problem.  I have found that the SlowFe works the best though.

    You may just want to add a little extra fiber in your diet.

    Oh--and I should add to take the iron pill with food.  My OB didn't specify and the first day I took it on an empty stomach and threw up.  I also tried taking it after eating and I started feeling terrible...so I really have to take it while eating.
