When were your labs taken? What were your levels? How much iron are you taking? Does your doctor think you need an infusion?

I have had my iron levels come back low many times and have had to have iron infusions a couple of times to get my levels normalized.

Infusions may be necessary, but I'd try an iron patch first for a while.
