really bummed today....
i was given a couple weeks to get my iron levels up!
so i changed my eating habits...i'm eating more red meat, green leaves, taking my iron supplements (with orange juice for better absorption). i stopped drinking coffee, milk and tea (upon research i found that these are iron blockers) and just overall checking everything i eat for iron... i honestly thought my results would be better.
but today my doctor called and said my iron levels haven't changed...
why isn't my body absorbing iron??!
so she made me an appointment to see a hematologist next week...a blood doctor.
i hope to find out WHY my iron is so low...and i hope the baby is fine :(
argh! no wonder i'm always so tired...
