On Friday I had medical management for my missed miscarriage. I was 13 weeks but baby died 11 weeks.
Anyway, had major complications and went into shock and lost 2 1/2 litres of blood. Was put on a drip and sent for an operation.
My haemagobin came back at 4, but they retired later and it came
Out of the critically low to just anaemic. It was boarder line with needing a transfusion, so they said if I felt ok I could avoid it and get home (I really wanted to go home by then, so I opted for the iron tablets and home)
Anyway, it's four days since it all happened. Been on iron tablets 3 days, and I am so breathless going to the loo and I am constantly dizzy unless laying down. I'm getting palpitations too.
Should I give it longer for them to kick in, or would I be unreasonable to go back and see if I need the transfusion I was trying to avoid? I can't be like this as I've kids to look after and dh is working. Never felt so weak.

Should I wait longer for iron tablets to work or go back?
