High iron levels and supplements?
in Health ·
So, I’ve been through something pretty similar. I’ve been on birth control for ages, and when I went in for bloodwork just over six months ago, my iron levels were sitting at 38.
My doctor told me it wasn't a huge deal—basically said it fluctuates depending on your body, what you ate, or even how much coffee you had right before the lab work—so I wasn't really sweating it. She didn't even mention anything about it being linked to the pill 🤔
But then, I went back for another checkup last month and my iron is totally fine now. I can't remember the exact number, but I think it was actually under 20. So honestly? Don't stress too much. These things are usually just temporary blips in the results. 🙂
