Anemic?
Hey there,
I don' t have an issue getting pregnant, but I become extremely anemic, as many of us do who have had WLS. I fought with my OB to do iron infusions throughout my pregnancies, and they would never do it. After delivery, days ago, my iron was a 5. I found a pharmacist would would compound liquid iron for me, and now I take that in my light OJ, my prenatal, and an additional supplement as well. I plan to have blood work done in a month to check levels, but I know I am still low. I guess I'm telling you this because I should have fought harder to have help keeping my iron up throught the pregnancy. Don't let it go if your levels are low ... it can be really scarey if you bleed during delivery.
