Hi all, 3 weeks ago I had a ferritin level of 5 so have been taking one iron tablet a day. Had my bloods re done yesterday and now my ferritin is 236!

I'm so shocked and confused at much higher it has gone? Surely this isn't normal as everyone said it takes months for iron tablets to work.

I'm still feeling ultra tired, out of breath, heart palpitations and irritable.

there's plenty more that can affect ferritin levels than just iron stores. The bloods need interpreting by someone who can put them into the context of your symptoms/pregnancy/the rest of your test results etc.
