Ferritin infusion ?

@Emily thank you for your reply, that’s good to know that you feel much better after the b12 injections. My midwife has contacted me again today advising that I also need b12 injections, I’ve been advised to collect the prescription from the pharmacy then call the doctors to arrange them, apparently I’ll need 6 in total taken every other day. Seems a lot? How soon do you start to notice your energy levels increasing after the injections please? x
Yeh that's the normal starting dose. When I was first diagnosed with b12 deficiency I had to have 6 loading doses and then it went to 1 every 12 weeks. It's just to ensure your body quickly gets up to a correct level. I normally feel more energised within 24 hours! So it's pretty good - couldn't not have them now!
@Emily wow brilliant, thanks for the info, can’t wait to have it now! 😊 x
I’ve had an iron infusion, took about a week to kick in, sometimes can take 2. Feel much better now though
I had ferrinject infusion for past two weeks having blood checked Thursday to see if it’s improved I do feel better after having it done. It’s just like a drip takes around 15 minutes xx
I haven't had a ferritin infusion, but I do have b12 jabs every 12 weeks and it makes a massive difference (I have had them for 4 years for other health issues) but they have been a life send in pregnancy as both my iron and b12 are low. I started taking 3 iron tablets a day with a vitamin c soluble drink and only then did my levels start increasing. I think if they are suggesting it it will do you wonders and you'll be amazing just how much energy it gives you. Good luck 🤞
