Here’s my experience so far..
I generally struggle with a weak immune system, but what really gets to me is how quickly I wear out during any kind of physical activity. I just feel constantly exhausted, no matter what.
On top of that, my progesterone levels are low, which messes with my cycle and causes much heavier bleeding than usual..
I recently had some blood work done through my doctor. My hemoglobin came back at 116 (normal range is 119-157)
My iron was 7 (normal is 8-12)
And my ferritin was 8 (should be 10-120)
The UIBC and TIBC numbers look normal, though..
I’m assuming they’re going to put me on an iron supplement next..
