Does anyone else have an iron deficiency

[littleprinces]

I think I have an iron deficency, I am taking iron supplements for it. I was feeling tired all the time and had a constant headache, after 2 days of taking the vitamins the headache went away and I wasn't so tired. Does anyone else have this? xx

Yea I have an iron & B12 deficiency! Once I get my B12 shots every 3 months & make sure to take my iron everyday Im usually fine. Get very very tired & headachy when B12 is low as you can absorb iron without B12!

it's so annoying, it started a few weeks ago during the 2WW and I thought the headaches and exhaustion might be pregnancy so I got a little bit excited :/ it wasn't but I dont complain because I was scared that the headaches were something more serious, so it was a bit of a relief. I am taking Iron Vital F liquid atm and that seems to be doing the trick for now. Babydust xx

Just make sure to be careful of your teeth as liquid iron can stain them! I get mine properly cleaned at the dentists every 6 months!
I know how horrible the tiredness & the headaches are....they can be very scary when you have no idea why they are happening but as long as you take your iron you should be ok.
Also eating a good steak once a week helps out alot!

Good Luck with TTC!
