Passed GTT Failed Iron (also in PI)

posted 9th Jan '08
very happy to say i passed my GTT with flying colours.

BUT i failed my iron BIG TIME. it was 6/20 and they consider 11-12 to be on the low side :| so i am now on 650mg of Ferrou Sulfate (equivalent to 210mg of elemental iron) and the tablets also have Vit C in them to aid absorpsion.

i knew i had been feeling like crap and i thought my iron may be a little low and DAMN not that low!

Have fun with that....Iron is constipating....... I'd eat fiber while taking the iron.
At least you'll have energy now though...

Aww no Im terribly anemic too the tablets they gave me made me really sick so I had to switch tablets, they make you even more constapated then you already are being pregnant and all! I hope the tablets bring your iron back up so your not on them for too long
