Since I put up a crazy post about my B12 supplement a week ago I've had labs.  I believe my last lab B12 was at 111.  My results from 11/17/14 is 608 .  I happy!!!  My Ferritin turned out to be 10 but my doc gave me an iron infusion right after he drew my blood because this has just been an ongoing issue even pre-op.  I must be consistant with iron supplements!

Hope all are well.

 

Best,

Layla

Lots of ppl here have been successful with the carbonyl iron (called tender or gentle) and heme irons.  Taken with vitC of course.  My doc gave me a script for poly-iron (FYI -$62- my Oxford/UHC covered nothing so I bought a Walgreen's Prescription card for $20 & paid $20- for a triple prescription- 90 days).  I am not sure they work for me but they are easier to take lol.  Funny but not funny.  I really dislike taking iron.

Take good care wonderful lady!
