Yes, ferritin is iron stores. I've been on high dose prescription iron (150mg three times a day) for 18 months now trying to get mine up. LE diet for 9 months, heavy periods for 12 years, and then my miscarriage all contributed to my severe iron deficiency. My levels were at 46 at my last check. They were checked again yesterday but it will be a week till I get the results.

Are you taking folic acid too. Because that can help you absorb the iron

April is going to be awesome 2ww thread!
OMG! My DH cancelled his vasectomy!! He said he won't reschedule until I give him the green light!!! I can't believe it!
I know he said he wanted to TTC #4, but I have been skeptical since he still had his vasectomy scheduled for 6/1. No more! Whew! Now to hurry up and get pregnant!!

Oddly, I've been having some scanty spotting today at 8 dpo. I've never had any implantation bleeding before, wondering if it's just my whole cycle being messed up after mirena. I'll test on Friday!
Glad you're going to keep trying XX.
Hope your BP can be controlled, YB.Proud mama to2012 2013 swaying

I'm taking 3000mcg of folate a day (divided up). I can't take folic acid as I have the MTHFR mutation. Originally Posted by Beautifulrainbow
