Ladies, I don't know where you live, but in my walgreens they sell liquid iron...which I love because I'm no pill taker. It has better absorption and doesn't give me constipation. Try to see if you can find it.

Yes Vanessa8887, I'm also low in vit D and have to take 3 vit D tablets every day.
Defiantly noticed the constipation back - thinking it's the extra iron.

Been anemic since my first appointment...Been on iron the whole time, makes me feel a lil better. My numbers had raised a little, but not enough to come off the iron. Other than fatigue, I feel no other effects.
