Low iron levels and stores

[lollipop7]

So after months of all sorts of iron supplements, tablets of different kinds today my blood tests came back showing my iron level is 7.
No wonder I'm bloody exhausted.

I'm being booked in for iron infusions but they sound grim.
Could anyone tell me what they are like and what exactly happens?

I'm kind of in the same boat. Waiting to hear this week if they're going to send me for infusions, so obviously no advice but keen to hear others views

I'm 15 weeks and I had anemia with both my kids, worse with my second and now I'm 15weeks with my 3rd I'm starting to think I'm anemic again, I'm finding it hard to breath and I'm soo tired and exhausted, I go for walks to stay fit with my kids and I'm tired and out of breath after 15 mins lol, I take iron tables but they just don't seen enough to be honest, if you do have the iron infusion can you let me no how they go please xx

The only thing which helped my iron levels was spatone, two sachets a day. The iron tablets were horrific and bunged me up massively.

I've had iron infusions before, it's fine totally painless. You just sit there with a needle in your arm attached to a small vial of iron liquid.
Takes about 20 mins, I felt miles better after a few days.
My iron levels were 5 when I had my infusion

@raspberrysuicide oh my goodness 5 that's horrendous and I though 6.5 was bad (one was 7.5 one was 6.5 can't remember which is which)
I have been told I need five sessions 😳

Have been summoned urgently by the consultant tent tomorrow so I shall update and let,you know @Roxx1516 how it goes!

Sorry 7 not 7.5
