Low iron stores & pregnancy

Hi mamas! I would love to have another baby soon (next 1-2 months hopefully!), so had my bloodwork done and my ferritin came back extremely low. Hoping to build that up with therapeutic iron supplements, but apparently it can take a LONG TIME. I’m curious what your experiences have been and if it would affect only be or baby as well?

Starting sertraline 25mg or 50mg

Hey! Just looking for peoples experience of what worked best for them. I’ve started sertraline 50mg but had a lot of sickness, so my GP said I can try 25mg (if I want to) and increase to 50mg gradually.

He said it shouldddd help with symptoms not being quite so bad, but I’m just wondering if this has been the case for anyone or if I’m going to get symptoms either way. I’d rather try to keep with the 50mg and get it over with if that’s the case.
And did people get another lot of symptoms when increasing 25mg to 50mg?

Thank you 🫶

Gym routines?

Hi girls I just recently started going to the gym, I usually run/walk a mile and I do a few machine workouts but I haven’t seen a difference at all… I thought maybe if I had a routine I could actually see progress. What is a good app that would be actually worth paying for? Or what routines have been working it out for you?
