At my Booking Bloods my Hb level was 109 so I was started on two Sachets of Spartone a day (liquid iron) in the hope it would improve my levels. However, repeat bloods about a month later showed my Hb had dropped even further to 99 so was started on ferrous fumerate tablets.
They are the 210mg tablets and I'm supposed to have three a day.
I was told vaguely they may cause some stomach discomfort and now 4 days in I feel really nauseous. My stomach feels aches/crampy and I just have this heavy sick feeling too.
Is this likely to be the iron and will the symptoms ease? I'm almost 24 weeks pregnant and I imagine the supplements are intended for the duration of the pregnancy so don't fancy feeling sick for all that time
