Iron infusion

I had one the other day, make sure that you aren't dehydrated it took 7 attempts to get the cannula in. It was fine though, only took about 20 mins once everything was sorted. I was tired after but I didn't have any side effects. Hope it all goes smoothly and you feel better after x

I had one a couple months ago! Actually infusion went really smoothly, no problems at all. For a few days afterwards I did feel a bit grim, just shaky and light headed mainly. I've had them before and never had side effects but apparently they can happen.
They didn't last long and I felt I started to have more energy within two weeks. Definitely worth it!

Im in the same boat! But I never ate meat during nor did I take iron supplements. As soon as I learned about my low iron in pregnancy I started taking and eating meat…. Getting re tested before infusion.

Mine is booked for Wednesday. Feeling a bit nervous!

I’ve just had my second one today went well whole thing lasts about 15-20 mins but you have to stay for a bit after just so they can check you over xx

Oh wow they gave you 2? I thought if it didn't improve you have to have a blood transfusion
