Taking Iron?

[Pamela]

How many of you take iron durning your period?

Seems like latly I have to take some everyday now,
Or I feel ran down.

I've had low iron in the past but haven't had it checked lately. I love spinach and eat it fairly often, it's a great natural source of iron. The prescription iron pills used to make me constipated...yuck.

Well I go to the doctor Friday morning to get a check up...im bleeding some in between periods..I think I probably need iron pills because I have been so tired the past few days....I am already anemic from the crohns disease I have, so I guess I should take iron pills anyway..but ive been so tired. wish me luck girls

It's good your going to get this checked..

I've been taking iron now for a month.. Usually it was just durning my periods
and then I would quit.. Cause of what Mrs. Puddles said.. But now that I've been taking it straight for a month. I actually feel a lot better..

I don't think we women realize how important it is to keep our iron levels up..

Klueles let us know what the dr. says..
Good Luck Sweetie..

Mom keeps fussing at me to take Iron when I am on my period. She actually wants me to take it regularly, but I suck at taking vitamins, so they just sit in my medicine cabinet. lol.

I was diagnosed with very low iron at about age 15 and I was advised by my gyno to eat more iron rich foods since he didnt believe in supplements. I started eating a lot of spinach (which I still do) and was told several months later that my iron was like extraordinarily high.
