I honestly can't tell if things are worse with them or without them...
Without them, it's a struggle—I can't eat, I'm dizzy, and I'm constantly exhausted... yet when I take them, I spend my entire day feeling like a literal shell of a person, 😢, nauseous after every single meal, and sleeping twenty-four hours a day... and on top of all that, I have my doubts they'll even work. I suppose I'll see how things look by the end of the month, but I truly feel quite miserable...😢
Which specific tablets are you taking?
Well, my iron levels hit 2 as well... though fortunately, they haven't stayed there quite as long as mine did. 🙂
@ swiftmason8: If you can't stomach those pills, I don't understand why your doctors won't just prescribe an alternative.
You really have to take vitamin C alongside your iron supplements because it's essential for boosting absorption; essentially, it's what allows the body to actually process it properly.
It’s most likely just a combination of sheer exhaustion...
My doctor actually put me on Formula IV because my iron levels were catastrophically low; I remember her looking at my blood work and deadpan telling me, "You shouldn't even be able to walk right now." Within three months, my levels had stabilized back to normal, which was honestly a relief. It’s a genuinely effective option, and since it's all natural, there weren't any side effects for me or the baby. Feel free to shoot me a private message if you want more details, as I’d rather not risk getting flagged for posting links here... (I'm such an angel, really 😉 )
