Decreasing iron levels after prescription

Booking in my iron levels were 112

I had my iron levels tested nearly three weeks ago. The level was 98 so I started 200mg daily to try increase.

I had my bloods tested yesterday and they've just called me to say they have gone down! 93 now.

I have even increased my greens etc!

She said next Tuesday I must go in for another test; I think to check b12 and folate/ferritin?

I am 19 weeks 2 days today.

Has anyone else had this before?

I was anaemic in my last pregnancy but the tablets sorted my levels out fairly quickly.

Wondered what the outcome may be?

Thank you xxx

(No wonder I feel tired and run down!)

The outcome will just be that they prescribe you some higher iron tables usually.
