Frustratingly I've always had bloodcounts on the low side [this is my 3rd pg, am now 15.5 weeks]. Never low enough to warrant 'proper' intervention, though.
I have been SO SO TIRED, and find it so miserable that the MWs look at my numbers which are 'ok, if on the low side' and give me diet advise.
This time I've been taking Floradix twice a day, almost from 5 or so weeks in. HB at about 8weeks was 12.5; ferritin 46 MCV 75.
GRRRRR
I'm trying to eat well.
This was just a moan. Anyone else? Any other tips/ advise? should i have more bloods done eg??? O yes and joy, now have UTI.
