I had a silent mc last month ... since thn i feel v sleepy and m having 4-5 cups of breakfast tea every day ... does anyone know if tht can hurt my sway for boy ... i will make an attempt next month ...

I'm so sorry - it should be ok for a blue sway BUT I wonder if you may be a little anemic - I would be sure that you are getting enough iron in your prenatal and meat - but don't have it at the same time of day you have your tea. Tea can block iron absorption!

Thx atomic ... i take my multivitamins at night and tea is usually a day thing ... i have made meat kababs and m trying to eat atleast one a day ... which would also help a little i guess
Multivitamins which i m taking has 5mg iron ..

Just butting in for a minute to say that I was incredibly tired and weak after my missed mc due to anemia and my midwife suggested an actual iron supplement separate from my multi. I took 45mg with my dinner and my multi at breakfast because a lot of things block iron absorption and taking it with any other vitamins or minerals can make it less effective.

5 mg iron is barely any at all. 18 mg is 100% and if you've just had a miscarriage you may need more than 100% for a little while.

I think you need to get in to the doc and have iron level tested OR you can try just adding in 18-30 mg iron every day (not when you have the tea) and see if you feel better. IF you're low in iron you usually will feel better right away, and then you'll know that this is the issue.

and taking iron in a multivitamin form that has more than just a small bit of calcium - high calcium in supplement form can actually block iron as well. Having something with acid in it like orange juice, with your iron can help it be better absorbed.
