Please move this if it's in the wrong place. Me=newbie.

I'm having terrible symptoms, from my anemia I suspect (doctor sort of confirmed this).

Anyway, how long does it take after you go on oral iron, and get the bleeding under control with BCPs to stop feeling so sore and headachy all the time? I can't work like this, and I can barely do anything except sit here.

Thanks:-/

It could take some time.

But while you wait....

Make sure you are getting enough fluids.
If you get constipated by the iron tabs, use a stool softener as directed.

At some point you shuld be able to take the iron tab every other day to 2 times a week. Some can not handle daily doses of iron.
So if you are still feeling "ill" after a week ask your doctor if you can cut it back to the every other day routine. That might help the over all icky feeling.

Vitamin B's help with absorbtion of other meds and can improve your blood #'s. In other words, A good B mix vitamin will help the aniemia get better faster.

Hang in there!

My problem with the iron is it makes me feel nauseated and so gassy that I have to bend over all the time.

I am supposed to be taking 650 (2 tablets) per day, but I cannot tolerate the stuff and still work.

I hope the cessation of bleeding (it finally stopped with the BCP the past 4 days) will be enough for me to remake my red blood cells, perhaps more slowly. I will discuss it with my Dr. in 2 weeks during my follow up :-/

I was intolerant of the oral iron last time too. Back then, they even had me on over 1 gram a day.

have u tried getting iron from food sources as well as by pill...then u might beable to..ease up on the pills a bit....always eat or take you iron with vit C to helps u to absorb and keep it...like a bowl of dark green veggies and a tall glass of orange juice....also try to get more fiber because iron can constipate u...and drink a lots of water to keep things moving...HTH
