Anyone else find that their period takes ages to finish while taking ferrous fumerate? It’s day 11 for me and still bright red blood!

Same here! And all the horrible low iron symptoms back as well. Dizzy, exhausted, nausea etc.. feeling really rubbish.

@Lowironrightfedup sorry you are having the same issue.
It seems ridiculous because long, heavy periods are why I’m taking iron in the first place but it’s giving me even longer and heavier periods! It’s finally stopped now but I can’t be having 14 day long periods 😩
