Hi,
I've been on and off them for a few years now, due to very heavy periods.
I came off them recently, because I'd decided to really up my intake through food and also, have just started taking a multi vitamin, which contains iron. Also, because I had a blood test coming up, I wanted to see if my body was coping without the really high dose of iron tablets. Well no, is the answer. I'm back down to 8 (10-30 is normal) and I've got an appointment to see gp on Monday to discuss the results, but I know they'll suggest the mirena coil, which I REALLY don't want to have. I don't need contraception and don't like the idea of unnecessary hormones in my body. Also, the reviews are generally terrible!
I don't mind the mildly unpleasant side effects of the iron tablets, but I'm not sure how safe it is in the long run.
Does anyone know?
TIA

Anyone else permanently on iron tablets?! Is it safe?
