My iron is low & I’ve been sooo tired. I’m taking iron pills but I feel like it’s not working 😩 & to top it off, I’m experiencing “lightning crotch” pain. I’m 30 weeks but it seems like I have a long way to go.

@leoshearnold, oh ok, that makes sense. Thanks so much
How long have you been on the iron pills?? I noticed it took a couple days to over a week to have any effect. Also, I take mine at night with my Acid reflux pill :)
They always say when you eat it with a meal sometimes the meal can absorb the iron opposed to you body, I usually take it I. The am with oatmeal (which also has iron )
@dinamarie1995, oh ok I figured that’s what it did. I’m going to try that! The pills make me nauseated too. Thanks!
@_iamrae, my doctor said it adds iron into your meals from cooking with it. Plus it won’t make you throw up like pills do. Because I was throwing them up 20 minutes after and wasn’t getting the full effect.
@dinamarie1995, seems obvious when I think about it but do you mind explaining why the cast iron would help??
@leoshearnold, I’ll definitely try that. I’ve always waiting until after eating to take them.
If you have a cast iron skillet I would cook almost everything in it if you don’t have one. I would buy one. They weren’t working for me either and my doctor told me to do this and it helped
Try taking it on an empty stomach that way you body can absorb it , I suffer from the same thing and I take it twice a day , it does about 3 days to get I to ya body for you to feel better
@nschlegel, it’s been about a week now. Hopefully I’ll see a change within the next couple of days!
