Has anyone been on perscription iron and seen your counts go down?

I am almost 8 months post-op. Right after my surgery I started on multi-vitamins with iron. At some point (I forget exactly when) my dr put me on a very high dosage of regular store bought iron, in addition to the multi vit. Then at about 5 months post-op, my hemoglobin and such were still nosediving, so she switched it to a perscription iron called Fe-tinic 150 Forte (anyone ever heard of it?) Anyway, I've been on it for 3 months, and I just went in to have it rechecked, and it's even lower tehn it was befor. My hemoglobin is like 10. Anyone have any suggestions?
