Hi Natalie - a month after my DD #2 was born I hemorridged and ended up with a very low ferritin level - it was 2... I can't remember high much iron I was taking but I know it was a high amount to get my iron level up. (Note: this was almost 18 years ago) I was also put on a high iron level diet - Turkey is very high in Iron! Go figure!

I slept most of the time - and had no strength what so ever!!

Keep us posted and good luck!
