Hiya girls I'm looking for people who have an iron deficiency and on ferrous fumarate.
I got diagnosed when I was pregnant with my son who is now 2.
Been on them for about 6 months again now but for the first 5 months I was just taking them whenever I felt rubbish but this months ones I've taken very serious as I've felt rubbish! It's a lower dose but I've been having really rubbish side effects with these and feel much worse that I was before. For example I feel more tired , headaches now and then , bloated , nausea , fatigue , bad stomach cramps and was constipated for a week but yesterday and today I've had really bad dark diarrhoea like lots of it at the one time that I need to sit back down when I think I'm finished.
I'm also currently 25 days late for period so could possibly be that aswell but wondering how other people reacted to it
