My doctor has requested that u start taking a high dosage iron pill. It's not in the basis that Im anaemic and the dosage is 70mg a day. I'm 14 weeks pregnant. Do I need to take Such a high dosage this early?

That is strange if your not anemic. Did you ask why? I'd ask for a second opinion. That's a lot of iron.

If he sees that you are not creating enough Iron it is normal to take this dosage. Be careful because you will be constipated.
